House For Sale £650,000
An amazing opportunity to purchase this beautifully appointed traditional home in a fantastic location right by the harbour area of Boscastle. It is unusual to find a terrace of four Victorian townhouses where almost all other buildings are quaint and cottage like. It is believed in early times the building was a large warehouse and in the 1870s was converted in to a terrace of four houses. The roof was raised and harbour side warehouse delivery bay infilled in with small sash windows. Since ownership the property has been completely refurbished using local builders and craftsmen, was reroofed, repointed with new windows and in our opinion offers the best of both worlds in terms of character, traditional features coupled with modern conveniences.
As mentioned the property has some lovely features and enjoys an enviable location being slightly raised above the river leading into the harbour enjoying a lovely outlook over the river and countryside beyond to front. The property is located just off the harbour entrance where the road turns back on itself with granite set access way in front of the four properties which also provides parking for one vehicle outside number 2.
The property is currently run as a successful holiday let and furniture/effects are available subject of course to separate negotiation with the exception of personal items and can be discussed depending upon the purchaser's individual wishes.
