CHARMING DETACHED COASTAL COTTAGE WITH COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS Bermuda Cottage is a rare and much-loved home, coming to the market for the very first time in over 70 years. Situated in the heart of this highly sought-after Roseland village, the property enjoys a wonderful balance of privacy, space, and far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. Deceptively spacious and full of character, the accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers a high degree of flexibility. A particularly impressive first-floor sitting room is a standout feature, perfectly positioned to capture the finest views and evening sunsets, and equally suited as a principal bedroom if desired. Outside, the property is complemented by beautifully established gardens, ample off-road parking, and a garage with adjoining workshop — ideal for those seeking a permanent residence, coastal retreat, or home with further potential.

THE PROPERTY

Occupying a prime position within the village, Bermuda Cottage has evolved over time from its original form into a spacious and versatile home. The accommodation is well-balanced, combining character features with generous proportions throughout.

The ground floor includes a welcoming sitting/dining room with exposed beams and fireplace, alongside a kitchen with direct access to the rear garden. A double bedroom and bathroom on this level provide flexibility for single-level living, guest accommodation, or home working.

To the first floor, a superb reception room enjoys an elevated outlook across the countryside, creating a light-filled and peaceful space. This room offers excellent versatility and could serve as a principal bedroom if preferred. Two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the accommodation.

While the property has been well maintained over the years, there is clear potential for a programme of modernisation, allowing a purchaser to enhance and personalise the home to their own specification.

OUTSIDE

The property sits within an attractive and established plot, with a driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles — a valuable asset within the village setting.

A detached garage and substantial workshop offer excellent storage and practical space, particularly suited to those with boating or outdoor interests.

The gardens are a particular highlight, thoughtfully arranged and mainly laid to lawn, with a variety of mature plants and trees providing colour and interest throughout the seasons. A terrace leads down to the rear, where there are the remains of a former greenhouse and pedestrian access onto Well Lane.

Owner’s Insight

Life at Bermuda Cottage has been truly special, particularly the far-reaching countryside views from the first floor, where the sunsets are simply breathtaking.

The house offers a wonderful sense of space and light throughout, while its position within the village has provided a strong sense of community. The off-road parking has also proved invaluable, especially during the busy summer months.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, there are beautiful walks leading to the coast, nearby beaches and creeks, while the workshop and storage have been ideal for keeping boats and canoes. The garden comes into its own in the summer, when it becomes a peaceful and colourful retreat.
