Description
Historic Almhouse set in the picturesque fishing village of Beer in need of modernisation. The property features off road parking for one vehicle as well as gardens to the front and rear.
The Property - 6 Causeway Cottages is welcomed to the market for the first time since the redevelopment of the Almhouses and former school during the 1980s by the current owner. The original Almhouses were built in 1820 of stone rubble with freestone dressings in a gothic style. These were kindly funded and donated by the Rolle family for the use of poor and infirm fishermen. The steeply pitched shaped tiled roof overhangs the main elevation and is supported by iron posts to form a picturesque veranda. The property has an arched doorway with nail-studded door and matching arched windows which add to the charm and the character of this delightful home.
Accommodation - To the ground floor is the sitting room and kitchen. Both enjoy a dual aspect with double doors leading out to the rear garden. The kitchen features a sink unit and space for appliances. To the first floor are two bedrooms (one double & one single) and a modern bathroom including a white suite and contemporary wash hand basin. There is a good sized landing which could be utilised as a study area or temporary bedroom space.
Outside - To the front of the property is a lawned garden with established shrubs. There is a part paved and cobbled seating area, set beneath the veranda which makes the ideal spot for enjoying the evening sun. To the rear of the cottage is the walled courtyard which is of a good size.
