Freehold, Council Tax Band: F, EPC Band: F.

Situation - The property lies in a most favourable position near the North Cornish Coastline, between the coastal villages of Boscastle and Tintagel, in a peaceful, wooded valley setting amongst an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB). The cottage enjoys access to the South West Coast Path only 1.1 miles walking distance, which stretches along the coastline and provides access to a number of coastal walks and beaches with breath taking scenery. Along the same access lane to the property, the beautiful and unspoilt woodland walks and St Nectan's Glen are also within walking distance. The village of Tintagel has numerous shops and facilities, including a mobile post office, general store, chemist, primary school, places of worship, doctors surgery, numerous pubs and restaurants and a wealth of history. Boscastle offers a number of similar amenities with a picturesque fishing harbour and various coastal path walks.

Description - A well-cherished detached cottage which boasts immense charm and character throughout, having been the family home of the current owners for over 50 years. The property includes a generous detached garage with off road parking either side and in front, with extended mature gardens. The property is constructed of mixed materials with wood windows. The cottage was extended in 1995 by the current owners, enjoys views through the wooded valley and is positioned attractively only 1.1 miles from the SW coastal path.

Accommodation - The cottage throughout is full of charm and character, featuring exposed wooden beams, solid wooden floors and wood burning stoves. From the entrance porch, the kitchen/breakfast room has a tiled floor with a range of fitted units with granite work tops. Integrated appliances include an oil fired Aga for cooking (and heating the hot water for the room above), a dishwasher with further space and plumbing for white goods in the utility. There is a stable door from the kitchen to the rear courtyard, a quiet and completely private outdoor seating area. There are two reception rooms, both with woodburning stoves and feature wooden panelling.

The first floor offers a versatile layout which presents the scope to create an extra bedroom, studio or possibly a self contained unit if required. There are currently 3 double bedrooms with 2 of the bedrooms benefitting from built in storage, 1 also with a wash hand basin. The family bathroom has a fully fitted and functioning suite which buyers may choose to update. The studio (above the kitchen) has a fully fitted shower room which lends itself to be adapted into a principle, en-suite guest room if required. Currently, the studio enjoys views towards the opposite side of the wooded valley and an extra room to one end.

Outside - The cottage is positioned amongst it's own gardens which offer real peace and tranquillity. Accessed via a series of slate steps and pathways which cut through the terraced and landscaped gardens, there are various areas for seating to enjoy the rural outlooks. There is a larger area of level lawn with a decked sun terrace and distant views towards the sea. The top of the garden adjoins the neighbouring farmland, whilst steps return to the rear of the property and a small courtyard adjoining the kitchen. There is a garage constructed of concrete panels which has power and light connected, with parking to both sides and directly in front. An additional area of wildlife garden acts as a natural buffer along the bank, between the cottage and the lane to St Nectans Glen. Japanese Knotweed has been identified at the bottom of this steep bank, an area which is not utilised as garden. A report has been produced and can be provided. It appears from this that the Japanese Knotweed doesn't affect the mortgagability of the property, however it is down to the individual lender and their own criteria to confirm this.

Proceed for a further 80m and turn right, following the lane until the property will be found on the left hand side.
