Channel View is a bijoux period coastal cottage with stunning harbour views, newly renovated from top to toe to create a luxurious bolt-hole for two. It's conveniently tucked away in Red Lion Yard, steps away from Wells-next-the-Sea's bustling quay with its fishing boats and a great selection of shops and places to eat. This boutique retreat has been cleverly planned to make the most of the available space and the channel views.
