69 Pye Place, Hot Water Beach

Some homes are polished, sleek and perfectly behaved. This isn't one of them. Perched above Hot Water Beach with cracking sea views, this old charmer has more stories than your uncle at Christmas.

It's a one-bedroom, two-bathroom original with a generous helping of deck space and a sleeping mezzanine that's perfect for guests, teenagers, or anyone who can climb a ladder after a glass of wine. The section is big, private and full of potential, whether you're dreaming of a garden, rebuilding, or just a bit more elbow room.

You'll love the views of the surf, the morning sun on the deck, and the short trip down to dig your own spa in the sand. Bring your vision, your sense of humour and maybe a paintbrush - this one's ready for its next chapter.
