Ludlow, Egremont, CA22 2UP

Your Own Piece Of West Cumbrian Coast, Right On The Beach. The kind of place where you wake up to the sound of the sea and go to bed watching the last light fade over the Isle of Man.

Not a short drive from the coast - on it. Coulderton is not a resort. There is no pier, no promenade, no gift shop selling fudge.

It is a small row of beach properties sitting between a grassed bank and the sea, with nothing between the front windows and the water. That is the whole point.

From the glazed sunroom at the front, the Irish Sea stretches out before you, taking in the Isle of Man on the horizon and St Bees Head just up the coast.

The view changes with the light, the season and the weather. On a clear evening, the sunset over the water is the kind of thing guests photograph and post before they have even unpacked.

And for those who like to get out on foot, the Lake District fells are nearby — close enough to build a walk around, without ever feeling like you are compromising on the coastal setting.

The living room sits behind the sunroom and has a vaulted apex ceiling that gives the space real character, furnished with a rope pendant light, a pair of French doors, and a tan leather Chesterfield suite that sets the tone for the whole property.

The styling throughout is cohesive and deliberate: Nautical without being kitsch, coastal without being clichéd. The kitchen and dining area runs along the back of the property.

Navy blue fitted units with concrete-effect worktops, an induction hob, integrated oven and a large American-style fridge freezer make it practical enough for a family holiday.

French doors open out to the rear patio, where a raised decked area catches the afternoon sun and a hot tub makes the space work in January just as well as July.

The bathroom is one of the standout spaces - full marble-effect wall panels, a black-framed bath screen with a rainfall shower over the bath, and a black vanity unit that gives the whole room a finish you would expect from somewhere charging considerably more per night.

There are three double bedrooms, each styled to the same standard as the rest of the property.

The exposed white-painted rafter ceilings give them real character and the whole place has the feel of somewhere guests are genuinely excited to arrive at.

Parking for at least two cars sits opposite the property.

Egremont is the nearest town for day-to-day essentials, and St Bees - with its sandy beach, coastal path and train station - is a short drive up the road.

The property is currently run as a holiday let with around 80% occupancy, with the business and bookings available to carry on for an investor.

Due to non-standard construction, it is suitable for cash buyers only.

If you have been looking for a west Cumbrian coastal bolthole that actually delivers on the promise, with direct beach access, real views, a proven letting income and a property that is ready to use from day one, this is the one to see.
