Tucked away in the picturesque village of Boscastle, this charming two-bedroom character cottage blends period features with modern comforts. The heart of the home is a cosy living room, complete with a log-burning stove.
The adjoining dining room showcases a beautifully preserved original bread oven, adding a unique historical touch with ample space for a family table.
The recently installed modern kitchen is well-equipped and stylishly finished, offering everything needed for everyday living or a holiday getaway. Upstairs, two inviting bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the North Cornwall coastline.
Outside, the property boasts a private parking space which is a rarity in Boscastle itself and a delightful south-facing roof terrace ideal for morning coffee or al-fresco dining.
Full of character and ideally located, this cottage is a perfect bolt hole or holiday let in one of Cornwall’s most famous harbour villages.
Just a five-minute walk from the idyllic harbourside, Fern Cottage is a stone’s throw from the historic Bottreaux Castle site - now a grassy picnic spot with panoramic views over Boscastle – and within walking distance of local amenities, tranquil riverside walks and a charming array of pubs.
LOCATION Boscastle provides a good range of everyday facilities including primary school, doctor’s surgery, post office, various retail outlets, public houses and hotels. On either side of Boscastle are National Trust stretches of cliff scenery offering superb coastal walking. Nearby beaches of Strangles, Crackington Haven and Bude provide popular family surfing resorts. Inland from Boscastle, Bodmin Moor provides open moorland ideal for walking and riding. To the east is the Dartmoor National Park and to the south the hidden secrets of the Tamar Valley steeped in 18th Century mining history.
