Set within easy reach of Boscastle’s historic fishing harbour, this sizable detached house offers flexible family living across well-proportioned rooms and a generous rear garden. The principal bedroom has an en suite, there are three reception rooms and a spacious farmhouse-style kitchen — practical for everyday family life and entertaining. The property is offered chain free with an allocated parking space just 30 metres away at the community centre.
Practical strengths include a recently upgraded oil tank, refurbished contemporary bathrooms, double glazing to parts of the house and multiple storage cupboards. The layout gives scope for adaptation — an additional ground-floor bedroom/study and room to extend subject to necessary planning consents, making it workable for growing families or those seeking holiday-let potential near the coast.
Buyers should note a medium flood risk for the area and that broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal. Heating relies on oil-fired services, open fire and night storage heaters; the stone walls are understood to have no insulation (assumed), so energy costs and retrofit work should be considered. Some records and descriptions vary on construction date; the house presents traditional stone elevations and has been improved in areas but may require further works to modernise fully.
In short, this is a roomy, characterful home in a quiet village setting with easy harbour access — well suited to families or buyers seeking a coastal retreat with clear renovation and energy-upgrade considerations.
