Description

This charming 18th-century Purbeck stone terraced cottage, known as "Two Hoots", is situated in a elevated position close to the town centre and beach. The property retains many original features, including a stone fireplace, exposed beams, panelled walls and ceilings, and sash windows. The cottage has three floors, with two bedrooms on the first floor, a sitting room and kitchen on the ground floor, and a bathroom on the lower ground floor. The sitting room has a cozy atmosphere with a Purbeck stone hearth and oak mantel, while the kitchen has modern units and appliances. The property also has a small courtyard garden and a pedestrian access to Springfield Road. The cottage has a rich history, having been part of the "New Inn", a smugglers' haunt, and is said to be the former home of P.O Taffy Evans, who was part of Captain Scott's ill-fated South Pole expedition in 1912. The property has been successfully let as a holiday home for several years.
