3 Bedroom Coastguard Cottage On Camber Sands, Camber

East Sussex. Sleeps up to 6

Number 7 Coastguard Cottages is a 3 bedroom terraced Victorian Cottage forming part of a row of old coastguard cottages right next to the beach at Jury’s Gap, Camber Sands. Just walk out of the door, through the garden and up the steps of the sea wall to get onto the sandy beach. There are spectacular sea views from the upstairs windows.

Number 7 has just been completely renovated with all new electrics, plumbing, kitchen, bathrooms and interiors. The style is light and airy with lots of pale painted wooden floors, whitewashed brick walls, Victorian style bathrooms and retro fittings where possible but without sacrificing comfort. Heating is by electric Victorian-style column radiators and all the windows have removable secondary glazing so it is lovely and cosy in winter. There is a huge hot water tank so you should always be able to have a hot bath or shower when you get back from the beach.

Park your car at the end of the little coastal garden and walk up the steps to the pale blue front door. Enter into the brand new galley kitchen fully equipped with pale grey units, electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge-freezer.
Step up from the kitchen into the dining room with Victorian dresser, bench seating and dining table to seat 6 people plus a small sofa for relaxing. Through the dining room is the TV room with huge corner sofa and 46” wall-mounted TV.

Downstairs in the basement is a cosy bedroom (with window) with a king size bed and a bathroom with freestanding Victorian style bath with shower taps, basin and toilet. NB the basement ceiling is quite low so tall people might be better in the upstairs bedroom!

The storage/laundry room with washing machine and cleaning equipment is also in the basement.

Up the Victorian staircase from the dining room, is the first floor with another light and airy double bedroom with king size bed and a large bathroom with freestanding bath, shower enclosure, basin and toilet. Wonderful views of the beach from all windows in this floor.

From the first floor landing, climb up the quaint little stairs into the attic room with two Velux windows giving fantastic views along the beautiful coastline. In this room are two small single beds which can be fitted together with zip and link mattresses to make a king size double bed if required.

Temporary photos at the moment. I will add photos as the rooms become ready.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR 2021

I have been notified by the Environment Agency that essential works to the sea wall between the Coastguard Cottages and Lydd/Dungeness will take place from April 2021 and will last until next year.

The work itself will be taking pace on the sea wall approximately 2 kilometres from the cottages but equipment for these works and the offices for the workers are stored in a compound just in front of the cottages. There will therefore be movement of equipment between the compound and the area of the works. I understand that this will involve lorries driving along the sea wall at intervals during the day, although not every day and with varying degrees of regularity since the works are dependant on tides. The works will also have to stop if, like last year, avocets begin nesting near the area of the works. In this case, work will stop for approximately 2 months between late May/June and late August.

Access to the cottages and access from the cottages to the beach will not be affected.

We are negotiating with the EA to minimise the activity around the cottages and we believe that the disruption will be minimal, as it was last summer.
