Woodbine Cottage is a charming beachfront property over 200 years old, located in the historic fishing village of Allonby, Cumbria, nestled between the coastal towns of Maryport and Silloth-on-Solway.
This end-of-terrace home is adjacent to the former Quaker Reading House, now a private residence, and directly across from the Village Hall, which hosts various events throughout the year.
Behind the cottage lies the stunning Solway Firth, offering picturesque views to enjoy!
Spanning three floors, the cottage has been carefully restored and equipped with all modern amenities including complimentary WIFI, an outdoor antenna for regular TV channels, a flat-screen TV, a washing machine, and a bathroom featuring both a bath and shower.
The attic space provides an area for drying clothes and airing out while enjoying the sweeping views of the Solway and Criffel from its window.
The highlight is the direct access to the stunning Solway beach right from the back door, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where you can spend your days beachcombing, birdwatching, or simply unwinding and soaking in the beauty of the Solway Firth and the Scottish hills in the distance.
Along the coast runs the King Charles III England Coast Path, perfect for walking or cycling while taking in the breathtaking scenery.
This coastline is renowned for its stunning sunsets, which are a must-see!
You can also catch these views from the windows of the charming cottage while relaxing inside.
