Fern Cottage is a characterful two-double-bedroom stone cottage tucked into Dunn Street, Boscastle. Recently renovated throughout, it combines original features — exposed beams, stone fireplace and a cloam oven — with practical modern upgrades including a bespoke kitchen, newly installed central heating and a full electrical rewire. The house is offered freehold and chain free, making it straightforward to purchase.
The layout suits a couple, downsizer or coastal bolt-hole: a cosy living room and dining room on the ground floor, with two bright double bedrooms on the first floor. Bedroom one has an ensuite and built-in storage; bedroom two retains original oak floors and vaulted ceilings. A rare private off-street parking space and a south-facing first-floor roof terrace add tangible everyday value in a village where parking and outdoor space can be scarce.
Buyers should note practical limitations alongside its charm. The property’s energy rating is G and it runs on bottled LPG with a boiler and radiators; the stone walls appear uninsulated, which may mean higher running costs and further insulation work if preferred. The plot is small and outdoor space is limited to the terrace and a small shed. Broadband speeds are average and the wider area is classified as relatively deprived, although local services and very low crime mitigate many concerns.
Overall, Fern Cottage offers a rare mix of period character and recent upgrades in a highly desirable harbour village. It will particularly suit purchasers seeking a low-maintenance, character-filled home or a comfortable coastal retreat, provided they accept potential additional costs to improve thermal performance and modern utilities over time.
