Set on Boscastle’s High Street, Minster Cottage is a compact Grade II Listed family home full of period character. Exposed beams, sash windows and a generous living room with a wood‑burner create an immediately welcoming, cottage feel. The kitchen/dining space is light and practical with slate flooring and oak worktops, and a sunny front courtyard provides a sociable outdoor space overlooking a small green.
The house is chain free and arranged over two floors with four bedrooms (one en‑suite) and two bathrooms. Its modest 904 sq ft footprint makes it best suited to a family or couple wanting village life close to local shops, the pub and primary school. Broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent and flood risk is low.
Buyer considerations are material and should be factored into any offer. The property is Grade II Listed — repairs, alterations and insulation work will be constrained and may be costly. The EPC is F and main heating is an oil‑fired boiler with radiators; the stone walls are likely uninsulated. The roof and some fittings are described as older and may need modernization.
For someone seeking a characterful village home with immediate move‑in potential and scope to improve energy performance and finishes, this cottage offers clear charm and a convenient location. Early inspection is recommended to assess listed‑building implications and heating/insulation options.
