Outside

Ivy Cottage is located along the coast road and is slightly set back with wrought iron railings and gate to the front door. There is unrestricted on street parking to the front of the cottage.

At the back of the property is a charming, good sized and mature walled garden. It is a delightful suntrap to enjoy a fair day, complete with fruit trees (Mulberry, Medlar, Peach and Apple), herb patch and a paved patio area for outdoor dining. The patio area has garden dining furniture to seat 6 and the garden also includes garden loungers and a charcoal barbecue (please provide your own charcoal). A few steps up from the patio lead to two lawned areas separated by the garden outbuilding. The garden may only be accessed from the dining area and from the blue side gate.

The property is conveniently located within walking distance of The Lifeboat Inn and The Chequers pub, as well as the award-winning Orange Tree pub. Droves Orchards and the Thornham Deli can both also be accessed on foot and offer shopping and more family-friendly dining options too. The coastal path may be reached on foot, from which it takes approximately 20 minutes to walk across the salt marshes and out to the glorious sandy beaches. This detached cottage attracts many return visitors, testament to its great appeal and location.
