This romantic rural bolthole is full of quintessential English charm, with fabulous period features and a secluded cottage garden bursting with charm. The property is located on the Cornwall/Devon border and is within easy reach of many of both counties’ top attractions, including the seaside resort of Bude (8.5 miles), the picturesque village of Tintagel (26 miles) and the dramatic coastline around Hartland (13.5 miles).
The minute you step foot inside the cottage you’ll be met with a feeling of warmth, thanks to the wooden flooring and exposed woodwork. Snuggle up in the homely lounge area, under the beautiful, exposed beams, to watch a film on the TV/DVD. Enjoy a cosy night in with a meal prepared in the cottage-style kitchen, which you can share at the cute dining table for two. An elegant open-tread oak staircase leads to the first floor, where you’ll find the king-size bedroom which boasts an impressive, vaulted ceiling and en-suite bathroom. Outside, discover a gorgeous, enclosed garden, with an abundance of flowers as well as a patio with outdoor furniture and a BBQ.
Just 7 miles from the property is the National Trust beach of Sandymouth. This unspoilt stretch of coastline is made up of sand and pebbles and is backed by dramatic cliffs. The area is a real surfing hotspot and is also loved by walkers who can join the South West Coast Path to admire the far-reaching views towards Bude and Tintagel. Spend a relaxing afternoon pottering around the 12th-century Hartland Abbey (13.5 miles). As well as the fascinating family home, you can admire the beautiful walled gardens and take a scenic walk through the valley to the rugged Atlantic coast.
