Summary - FORRABURY HOUSE FORRABURY BOSCASTLE PL35 0DJ
6 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious period home beside the coastal footpath with large gardens and garage.
Six bedrooms and three reception rooms, approx. 3,176 sq ft
Forrabury House is a substantial six-bedroom former rectory sitting beside the South West Coastal Footpath in a sought-after harbour village. The period stone facade, high ceilings and large sash windows create bright, generously proportioned reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast room with quality fitted appliances. The property extends to about 3,176 sq ft and includes three reception rooms, two bathrooms and flexible second-floor space that could serve as additional bedrooms or an open living area.
Outside, the house occupies a very large U-shaped plot with terraced lawns, ornamental pond, timber decking, productive allotment with chicken coop, and stone-chipped parking for several cars plus a detached garage with conversion potential (subject to planning). Practical features include double glazing, substantial outbuilding/utility space and easy pedestrian access onto the coastal footpath and village amenities.
Important practical points: the EPC is rated E and the property uses mixed heating systems (air-source heat pump with underfloor heating and an existing oil boiler/tank), with solid granite walls likely lacking wall insulation. Council Tax band F and running costs should be considered. The house is traditional in construction and, while well maintained cosmetically, offers scope for modernisation and energy-improvement works.
This home suits a family or multi-generational household seeking character, coastal access and substantial private gardens. It will also appeal to buyers who value location and are prepared to budget for energy upgrades or modest refurbishment to maximise comfort and efficiency.
