A truly immaculate stone end of terrace house, steeped in history and character. This impressive property, dating back to the early 1800’s, was formerly known as The Badger Inn, a cherished coaching Inn, and showcases many original features, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of local heritage. Double-fronted and substantial, the property featured in The Guardian newspaper travel section in 2023 as a recommended place to stay.

Exuding warmth and charm, the ground floor hosts two welcoming reception rooms – the living room with characterful exposed stone walls, and fitted with a multi-fuel stove, perfect for those colder evenings. The stunning dining room features the original stone flagged floor, and has access to a cellar space – a valuable addition for day-today living or holiday-let management. A modern kitchen at the rear has a utility area and access to the side of the house. Upstairs, you will find two spacious double bedrooms with views from the front elevation, each thoughtfully presented to maximise comfort.

Private parking is conveniently included, a rarity in the area, making this an attractive proposition for those seeking a main residence, second home, or potential holiday-let purchasers. The property is being offered with no onward chain, ensuring a smooth transition for new owners.

Enjoy being within easy walking distance of the harbour, coastline, and the shops within the village, with scenic walking and cycling routes available nearby. This beautifully presented stone-built home blends historic distinction with contemporary living – an exceptional opportunity to secure a unique residence in a sought-after coastal location. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all that this remarkable home has to offer.
