Coming to the market for the first time in nearly 30 years is this property of historic interest. Formerly a coastguard’s station and accommodation for the Chief Officer, the property has been converted to form a spacious dwelling set over three levels. The cottages were originally built in 1875, for the coastguards to live in, adjacent to Daddyhole Plain and opposite the coastal watch tower. The ground floor area was originally used as offices, with the first floor being used as accommodation and the tower on the third floor was used as the lookout providing a viewing platform out across Tor Bay.

The accommodation briefly comprises front door opening to a reception hallway with doors to principal rooms, a spacious lounge/dining room with an outlook to the front enjoying the fabulous sea views, a fitted kitchen/breakfast room, ground floor double bedroom and ground floor shower room/WC. From the lounge/dining room stairs rise to the first floor where there are three double bedrooms with the principal bedroom having a superb dressing area and en suite shower room and a further spacious family bathroom/WC. On the third floor, what was the original tower lookout, is now the fifth double bedroom affording some fabulous, uninterrupted views across Daddyhole Plain and out to sea.

Outside there is a stone chipped driveway allowing for ample off road parking which leads up to the stone built detached tandem length garage with electric up and over door, light and power. There is access down the side of the property and a timber gate leads to the rear garden which has been laid to patio for ease of maintenance with flower beds bordering stocked with a variety of shrubs and bushes. There is also a useful stone built building ideal for storage or utility room that was originally used as the ‘wash house’ in the Victorian era.
