Property description

This exquisite 2-bedroom cottage, with a history spanning approximately 300 years, is a truly unique property. Formerly serving as the original customs house, it now stands as a spacious home offering breathtaking views over Morecambe Bay.

Originally two separate cottages, the property was seamlessly merged and fully renovated by the current owners into an upside-down layout. This clever design places two double bedrooms and a stylish 4-piece bathroom on the ground floor, while the first floor features an open-plan living area that maximizes the stunning vistas.

Situated at the end of a row, this home benefits from views on three sides. A small courtyard, enclosed by a dwarf wall, adds to the property's appeal. Additionally, a large outhouse houses the controls for the solar panels, enhancing the home’s sustainability, offering the air source heat pump heating, and instant hot water.

The ground floor's two double bedrooms both feature French doors that open to the front, offering picturesque views of the bay. The bathroom is elegantly tiled, complementing the home's sophisticated aesthetic.

Upstairs, the open-plan living area is an inviting space for relaxing, dining, and cooking. Solid oak flooring runs throughout this level, adding warmth and character. The French doors open to a large wrap-around glass balcony, perfect for soaking in the expansive views.

The solid oak shaker-style kitchen, with granite work surfaces and an island unit, is a focal point of the home. It includes fully integrated appliances, such as a Neff double oven, ensuring both style and functionality.

The living area, featuring a wood-burning stove set into the fireplace, provides a cozy yet spacious environment. The views from this level are extraordinary, offering an ever-changing panorama of the bay, boats, wildlife, and even salt marsh cows.

This beautifully renovated cottage is a perfect blend of historical charm and modern comfort, providing an unparalleled living experience with stunning views and exceptional features.
