An attached 18th‑century cottage set in the heart of Boscastle, offering generous family accommodation and authentic period character. The house provides two reception rooms, a rustic kitchen, four bedrooms and two bathrooms across a multi‑storey layout, with a large garden that enjoys valley views. Chain free, it suits buyers seeking a permanent home, holiday base or investment with strong rental potential in a popular coastal village.
The property retains many original features — exposed beams, stone fireplace, sash windows and traditional stone walls — creating a warm, characterful interior. The garden is a standout asset, elevated to capture attractive valley views and outdoor space rare for village cottages.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the EPC rating is E and the main heating is oil‑fired boiler with stone walls likely uninsulated, so upgrading insulation and heating will be needed to improve efficiency. The plot is small and some rooms have low ceilings and beams that may limit layout changes. Broadband is average and the wider area scores as deprived, although crime is very low and mobile signal is excellent.
Overall, this is a solid period property with clear potential for sympathetic modernisation. It will particularly appeal to families wanting village life, buyers seeking a second home near the coast, or investors after holiday‑let income — but expect renovation costs to raise comfort and energy performance.
