House For Sale £480,000
This older style bungalow offers versatility and spacious accommodation over 2 floors which includes an Entrance Porch, Living Room with woodburner, Kitchen/Dining Room, Sun Room, 3 Double Bedrooms and Shower Room on the ground floor. On the first floor is large Bedroom with Ensuite Shower Room. The majority of the rooms enjoy views over Boscastle and surrounding countryside.
The grounds, which are accessed from the driveway, have several paved and decked terraces ideal for al fresco dining or to relax and admire the views. Situated at the far end of the main garden via a lower path, not interfering with the Bungalow, is the self contained detached Annexe. Offering a modern feel throughout, the accommodation includes a Kitchen with space for a table and chairs, Lounge, Double Bedroom and separate Shower Room. The Annexe also has the benefit of its own low maintenance outside space with some partial views over to Boscastle. In recent times, this has been a successful Holiday let generating additional income for the owner, but currently not being used due to the property now being on the open market for sale. It would also be perfect as ancillary accommodation to the Bungalow, suit a dependant relative or even a teenagers pad!
Within a very short walk of the property is St Symphorian's Church, Forrabury Stitches and the coastal path with its stunning views. Also, Boscastle harbour and local shops are only a ten minute walk.
Location Boscastle, with its own Harbour is impressively situated amidst dramatic cliffs and dates from the mid 16th Century. For many years the Harbour served the inland town of Launceston as a Port, the two being linked by pack-horse and wagon transport. Slate and corn were shipped from the 16th Century pier. The Cornwall coast path along the cliffs from Boscastle to Tintagel is only a few minutes away and considered one of the finer walks in England. The Harbour and much of the hinterland is now within the control of the National Trust; the village of Boscastle offers a traditional range of shops and local amenities including popular Pubs, places of worship, etc. Tintagel is some 3 miles whilst the North Cornish coastal resort of Bude is some 15 miles. The Cathedral City of Exeter with its inter city rail and motorway links is some 60 miles whilst Okehampton and Dartmoor is some 40 miles. The market town of Holsworthy is some 22 miles. The A39 links North Cornwall to the North Devon link road which by-passes Bideford, Barnstaple and South Molton, joining with the dual carriageway at Tiverton to lead on to the M5 thereafter. In addition, the A30 dual carriageway extends from Exeter to Launceston and further West into Cornwall.
