Full Details for 2 Bedroom Cottage for sale in Seaton, EX12 :
This 2 bed cottage is located very close to the beach at Beer being right in the heart of Fore Street in this historic village. The cottage has the benefit of a good sized rear courtyard.
Location:
Beer is a highly picturesque and sought after fishing village situated on the Jurassic Coast. Close by are delightful coastal and country walks, together with a pebble beach, fishing boats and a quaint village centre with day to day facilities.
Directions:
From our offices in Seaton turn right into Harbour Road and turn right on the roundabout to proceed up Castle Hill. Bear left onto Beer Road and follow this road. Upon reaching the village of Beer, proceed all the way to the bottom of Fore Street towards the beach and The Old Lace Shop will be found on the right hand side, halfway between the Dolphin Hotel and the Seafront.
The Property:
The Old Lace Shop is believed to have origins dating back to 17th Century with more recent extensions. The property we understand was at one time a smugglers meeting house and also the former home of a local lady who co-ordinated the lace making for the flounce for Queen Victoria's wedding dress. The cottage is located very close to the beach at Beer being right in the heart of Fore Street in this historic village. The present owners have lived in the property for seventeen years. They ran a restaurant until 2006 when they decided to convert to purely residential use (although this could be reverted subject to any necessary consents). They have improved the cottage throughout since then, creating a beautiful kitchen to the rear and generally updating throughout including re-wiring. The cottage has the benefit of a good sized rear courtyard. Originally three bedrooms, the current owners have altered this to two bedrooms with a large master bedroom with dressing area. However, the original doors are still in situ and therefore the third bedroom could easily be re-instated if necessary. This cottage truly needs to be viewed internally to be fully appreciated.
