Tucked away in the picturesque village of Boscastle, Fern Cottage is a charming two double-bedroom home blending period character with modern comfort. Rumoured to be the village’s former gaol, it carries a unique sense of history while offering all the conveniences of modern living.
Just a short walk from the harbour and village amenities, it provides a peaceful retreat with private parking and a south-facing roof terrace - a true rarity in Boscastle.
Presented in excellent newly decorated order, all front-facing rooms include newly fitted shutters. At the heart of the home is a cosy living room with exposed beams and an open fireplace for added warmth. The dining room features a beautifully preserved original cloam oven which lights up adding a cosy glow, alongside ample space for a family table and chairs.
The new bespoke fitted kitchen is stylish and practical, with matching wall and base units, wood-effect tiled flooring, Neff oven and hob with extractor, ceiling downlights, under-cupboard lighting, and space for a fridge, freezer, and washing machine.
Upstairs, two inviting double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings provide bright and airy retreats, one benefiting from an en-suite and a large wardrobe - ideal for unwinding after a day exploring the North Cornwall coastline.
Outside, the private parking space adjacent to the property accommodates a large car, a huge asset in Boscastle, where parking is at a premium. A sunny first-floor roof terrace provides space for potted plants and garden furniture, perfect for entertaining or enjoying the sun. There is also a small shed.
The cottage is close to a primary school, doctor’s surgery, post office, independent shops, and a selection of pubs, and sits almost opposite the historic Bottreaux Castle site - now a grassy picnic spot with panoramic views over the village.
Full of character and ideally located, Fern Cottage is a lovely, cosy home, equally suited as a full-time residence or a coastal bolt-hole in one of Cornwall’s most famous harbour villages.
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.
Nearby Camelford, Bude to the north and the former market town of Launceston to the south east provide a full range of social, commercial and shopping facilities.
