Central village location near harbour and coastal paths.
Three double bedrooms in compact two-storey cottage
Hilldene Cottage is a compact Grade II listed stone cottage in the heart of Boscastle, presented with a characterful interior and original features such as exposed beams, feature fireplaces and exposed stonework. The property offers three double bedrooms across two floors, a modernised kitchen and a stylish family bathroom — a comfortable layout for a small family, holiday use or rental income.
The location is a major asset: central High Street position within walking distance of shops, pub, primary school and the harbour, with the South West Coast Path on the doorstep. The cottage is freehold and offered with no onward chain, making it a straightforward purchase for buyers wanting immediate occupation or a quick lettings turnaround.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will affect alterations and upgrades, and the property retains single-glazed timber windows and electric wall heaters. The EPC rating is F, and heating is primarily electric with a wood-burning stove, so running costs and energy improvements are likely required. Parking is on-street and the home has low ceilings and compact room proportions typical of period cottages.
For investors, the cottage’s village position and three double bedrooms give clear holiday-let potential; for owner-occupiers it offers a unique historic home close to coastal amenities. Any purchaser wishing to extend, significantly alter or improve thermal performance should plan around listed-building consent and consider upgrading glazing and heating.
