  • Traditional fishermen’s cottage, perfect couple's retreat by the sea
  • Situated in the Meads Village area of Eastbourne, just 200 yards from the seafront
  • Stunning walks to be enjoyed on the South Downs Way, a short stroll from the cottage
Overview
Property code: EHC24

Watch the world go by and find your seaside vibe at this romantic 200-year-old fisherman's cottage, just a short stroll away from Eastbourne's seafront and the spectacular South Downs Way. With its nautical theme and homely touches throughout, this cosy cottage offers a welcome taste of the seaside in a traditional setting.

 

This is the perfect hideaway to escape the stresses and strains of everyday life and enjoy the fresh air and scenery of the coast. The lounge/diner has a table for two, ideal for a chilled-out meal together, while the kitchen leads to the courtyard via a stable door for tea on the terrace. The tranquil coastal theme continues up the cottage-style stairs in the bathroom and bedroom which are painted in calming nautical tones. Relax in the sunny courtyard to the back, or the pretty cottage garden to the front and indulge in a spot of people watching.

 

This cottage is in the popular Meads Village area, home to a group of 19th-century artisan dwellings with colourful cottage gardens, teeming with wildlife. For lovers of the arts, Towner, the contemporary art gallery, and Eastbourne's theatreland are only a 1.5-mile flat promenade away, so ditch the car and feel the benefit of a stroll in the fresh sea air. Check out Helen Garden for putting, lawn bowls and petanque less than half a mile away or spend the day on Holywell Beach, a quieter alternative to the main town beach. Direct access onto the South Downs Way 200 yards from the property's front door means that the renowned beauty spot of Beachy Head is just a 2-mile amble away. The chalk cliffs here offer some of the most spectacular coastal views in the area.

The cottage was clean and tidy and in good condition. there was everything that we needed. The stairs were quite steep and could be a problem for those who might be elderly or infirm. However, we are in our late 70's and managed OK. The parking system worked although sometimes marred by others inconsiderate parking.

A beautiful cottage, just a short walk (20 mins) from the sea front. The cottage is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. With only 4 rooms the cottage is ideal for a couple. The bed is comfortable. The front room spacious and the kitchen is very well equipped. There is a lovely bathroom with a bath and a shower. A permit is given to allow onRead moree car to park and there are plenty of places in front of or near the cottage. The beach is a short walk away as is Beachy Head. Hide
