Millbrook

Step into the lobby and through to the cosy sitting room and you immediately feel at home, two large period windows flood the room with light. The sofa invites you to take a seat and soak up the charming ambience of this delightful cottage. Everything you need is here, TV, music system, WiFi and a very good selection of books and games all make for a cosy night in beside the roaring fire.

Just off the sitting room the cute little galley kitchen is small but very well-equipped, bespoke units and solid oak worktops really make the most of the space, you’ll find a full oven, induction hob, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, separate freezer in the under stairs space, plenty of pots and pans and everything you need to cook up a tasty supper. There’s a handy washer-drier in the exterior wash house too.

Open a door off the sitting room and discover a traditional winding staircase, particular to cottages in Bay, the stairs in these period cottages can make it unsuitable for those with reduced mobility.

Enter the spacious first floor bedroom and you are once again greeted by two period sash windows that flood the room with light, and with views across the old rooftops and beyond, the perfect place to relax. The king-sized cast-iron bedstead sits proudly alongside an ornamental fireplace and original built in wardrobes all adding to the charm of this welcoming room.

A door from the first-floor landing takes you up a second set of winding stairs to the second bedroom. As you reach the top of the staircase you will find a little window that gives a secret view of the old street down below, a favourite spot of Debbie’s to sit and watch the world go by. This bedroom features a lovely double bed and a handy en-suite WC. Set in the attic eaves the room is filled with character, with original low beams, and stunning views out to the beach, village and the moors.

On the first floor is the main bathroom decorated with pretty handmade tiles and including a bath and a shower for a relaxing soak after a day out exploring. In addition the double bedroom on the second floor has an en-suite WC.

Outside of the cottage some 10 meters from the door just along the private path a real treat awaits you, Millbrook has its own private outdoor space, very rare in the old Bay, In a quiet, west facing spot with great views to the village it’s the perfect spot for a sundowner or al fresco feasting. Here you’ll also find the coal and log store in a converted outdoor privy for unlimited fuel for the open fire in the lounge.
