For many years New Brighton has been one of the hidden gems of the North Coast. Largely unchanged for decades, it is a rare pocket of original cottages in an idyllic setting between the river and the ocean.

The owners of this 1920′s fisherman’s cottage commissioned leading architect Paul Uhlmann and he has transformed it into a stylish designer home. The white timber walls, high ceilings and tallow-wood floors will bring back memories of family holidays and happy times by the beach.
