Sailors Cottage
Positioned on Church Street just over the road you have the harbour, you can take in the views across the water from the windows, looking down towards the famous swing bridge which connects both sides of the town. This cottage is set out over three floors, with quirky features harking back to its past, including beams and low door frames in some places.
Stepping inside on the ground floor you have the dining room at the front, which also has a sofa in front of the gas stove, making this a lovely social space. The adjoining galley kitchen is compact yet well equipped. Up on the first floor you have the main lounge which enjoys elevated views over the harbour where you can watch the world pass by, with boats heading out to sea as well as the steam train chugging past on the other side of the water. The corner sofa in here is bespoke and was designed to fit the room perfectly, giving you lots of comfortable seating around the TV. On this floor you also have the shower room, which is modern and welcoming. Up on the first floor you have the master double bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and again those fabulous harbour views to wake up to. On the second floor at the top of the house you have a twin bedroom, with the highest views of the harbour.
