Description

Behind its charming façade, this deceptively spacious cottage unfolds into a warm and inviting home, rich with character and coastal appeal.

The second bedroom, set just above the Waterside Gallery in a unique Flying Freehold, also enjoys a front-facing position with views to match.

With a south-facing aspect, Prydes Cottage makes the most of the sunshine all day long.
