    Soak up the sights, sounds, and smells of the sea! Centrally located on Irsha Street (in the conservation area of Appledore) which is famous for its pretty painted houses. Waking up to seagulls yarping overhead, hearing the waves lapping up the nearby slipway and watching the swallows swooping through the narrow streets, all add to the charm of this delightful cottage.
