Packed with period features, this quirky cottage is less than half a mile from the South West Coast Path and even closer to an ancient country inn and a tearoom. Pet-friendly, it features a choice of social spaces and two en-suite bedrooms, while a wood burner and an enclosed garden with a summerhouse and sea views add all-weather appeal.
Park and unpack at leisurely pace – the rustic features, statement furniture and wonderful artwork within this stone dwelling deserve your full admiration. The lounge has a striking beamed ceiling and a wood burner within the original inglenook fireplace; curl up on your choice of colourful seating with a book – an extensive collection is available. Stretch out in the snug, instead, and you can stream favourite programmes on the Smart TV. When tummies rumble, the farmhouse-style kitchen has everything required to rustle up hearty meals to share in the adjacent dining area. Beyond, a handy utility room with a WC completes the ground floor. Upstairs, two double bedrooms nestle beneath the eaves – one has an en-suite bathroom with a free-standing bath, the second has an en-suite shower room, and a sanctuary-like reading nook with a day bed is nearby. A number of outdoor areas extend your living space. To the front of the property, a walled seating area makes a lovely spot for morning coffee, while to the side the enclosed cottage garden has pretty planting, a gravel area with a picnic bench, and steps to a small lawn. A furnished summerhouse provides a peaceful spot to relax and take in the sea views.
Enjoy traditional Cornish fare at the tearoom and 13th-century inn on your doorstep – both are so close, it would be rude not to! The nearby stretch of coastline boasts some beautiful, remote beaches, including Duckpool, Welcombe, and Sandy Mouth, all within 2 miles. Head further afield to Bude (10 miles) for shops, cafes and canalside strolls; the tidal pool at Summerleaze Beach delivers a unique swimming experience.
