They were used by the coastguard until the 1950s - and the cottage on sale is in the middle of the three. The reception rooms have multi-fuel burners to provide heating while the kitchen has a gas cooker and gas lamps. The Napoleonic war was expensive and I believe the government decided to built coastguard cottages to monitor smugglers and recoup some money. You can enjoy your own private oasis, listening to the waves crashing and retreat from the stresses of everyday life.
