Marks Cottage, Buck's Mills is a delightful three-bedroom fisherman's cottage nestled within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The well-equipped kitchen / diner features a traditional oil-fired Redfyre stove, microwave combination oven, dishwasher, and fridge / freezer, with a charming dining table that comfortably seats eight for memorable family meals. Step into the welcoming lounge where comfortable sofas gather around a warming wood burner, perfect for cosy evenings watching the Smart TV after days exploring the coastline.
Venture outside to discover a front lawn area, whilst a winding path leads to the rear patio complete with seating and charcoal BBQ for delightful al fresco dining. A narrow pathway climbs behind the cottage to reveal a private hideaway with daybed, continuing to a children's play tower where little knights and princesses can let their imaginations soar. The property offers three beautifully appointed bedrooms: two comfortable doubles and a cosy bunk room for children, all overlooking the cottage's charming front garden. Two bathrooms ensure convenience, with a shower room on the split-level and a main bathroom featuring shower over bath.
Imagine waking to the gentle sounds of a babbling brook and owls hooting in the surrounding woodland. Spend your mornings sipping coffee whilst planning coastal walks, then return to the warmth of your wood burner as evening falls, sharing stories of seaside adventures and woodland discoveries.
