About this property
Set in the picturesque village of Winterton-on-Sea, this dog-friendly cottage invites you and family, or groups of six to settle in and make the most of its light, airy rooms and suntrap patio garden. With the sand dunes of Winterton Beach just 300 metres away, this is the perfect spot for a seaside getaway, with coastal walks and traditional attractions all around.
Step inside, and you'll discover a fully equipped kitchen catering to all your culinary needs. The dining area offers the perfect setting to share meals with loved ones, while the inviting living space at the rear of the kitchen features tasteful furnishings and natural light streaming through the patio doors. For added convenience, there's a downstairs cloakroom too. On the first floor, the cottage unfolds into two beautifully appointed bedrooms—a lovely king-size room with two skylights for stargazing and a twin room, both thoughtfully decorated in coastal tones. These bedrooms share the contemporary family bathroom. Ascend to the top floor to discover a spacious bedroom with views of the dunes, offering an equally comfortable king-size bed and an elegant en-suite bathroom. The rear of the cottage boasts a well-maintained, fully enclosed garden—a delightful suntrap with a patio and garden furniture, providing the perfect spot to enjoy a drink or al fresco meals.
Immerse yourself in the welcoming atmosphere of this quaint village, complete with a traditional tearoom, a friendly local pub, and a convenient village shop. Indulge in the delectable seafood offerings at renowned coastal restaurants or savour a pint of locally brewed ale. A short stroll from the cottage brings you to the stunning Winterton Dunes less than 200 metres away, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Here, you and your furry friends can enjoy leisurely walks along the expansive sandy beach that stretches for miles. Nature enthusiasts can explore Horsey Gap (5 miles), known for its fascinating seal colony during the winter months.
