The property
This end-of-terrace Grade II listed cottage sits on the hillside above the famous Cornish village of Boscastle, where two rivers meet the sea in a natural harbour between steep moorland hillsides.
Inside, a wonderful blend of ancient slate floors, beams and bags of character with contemporary furnishings creates a comfortable cottage ideal at any time of the year for families wanting to explore this unique village.
On the ground floor, a large well-equipped kitchen with lovely beech worktops for preparing tasty meals for the family to enjoy in the adjoining dining area.
Relax in the cosy sitting room with lovely slate floors, knobbly walls and wood burning stove set in the big inglenook fireplace, whilst the young ones play in the snug area packed with toys.
Upstairs four cosy bedrooms, two doubles and two twins, and a family bathroom and shower room.
Outside, a fascinating patio garden on three levels with a bridge leading over a stream to a wild, terraced woodland garden with lovely views and yet another cottage garden beyond.
The shops, restaurants and cafes, as well as the stunning natural harbour, are just a stroll down the hill.
You're well set if you enjoy the outdoor life, with lovely cliff and wooded valley walks nearby.
If you fancy a spot of surfing, head for the good surfing beach at Trebarwith Strand just 5 miles away, or for a touch of myth and sorcery, make a detour to historic Tintagel of Arthurian legend.
Perfectly located for walking or surfing adventures along this fascinating stretch of coast rich in history and folklore, Ingledene is a characterful and cosy family home at any time of the year.
About the location
BOSCASTLE
Tintagel 4 miles; Camelford 6 miles.
A perfect Cornish coastal village, the road through Boscastle runs down to the small harbour at the bottom of the hill. The quaint village shops, local restaurants and pubs offering good food, Cornish real ales and live entertainment by local musicians, make this an ever popular visitor destination. Spectacular cliff tops, rocky coves, wild surf, open fields and rich wildlife characterise this beautiful area. The coastal footpath passes through some of Britain’s most rugged and spectacular coastal scenery. The sandy beaches of Bossiney, Trebarwith Strand and Crackington Haven are all within 5 miles and the surfing beaches at Bude and Polzeath are within easy driving distance. Close at hand lie the delights of Tintagel, swathed in the legends of King Arthur, several stately homes and renowned gardens, or the wide open space of Bodmin Moor, famous for its granite tors and Daphne Du Maurier’s Jamaica Inn.
