House in North Cornwall

This countryside cottage is the perfect holiday destination for those who love the great outdoors, with the local area providing many opportunities for swimming, surfing, cycling and walking. Perfectly situated to visit some of Cornwall's finest beaches, with golden sand which stretches for miles. The picturesque harbour village of Port Isaac, recognisable as the location for the TV series Doc Martin, is just seven miles away. For the more adventurous, nearby you can find Tintagel, known for its connections to King Arthur, Boscastle, Polzeath and Rock. From Rock, visitors can catch the foot ferry across the estuary to Padstow, Cornwall s food capital, best known for its links to the TV chef Rick Stein. Arriving at this property, guests will immediately be impressed at grandeur of the cottage. Built in 1840, this carefully renovated property has been extensively updated and given a stylish and contemporary edge. Enter through the porch with its church pew seating, and discover the spacious lounge with bi folding doors which allow access to a patioed area which overlooks the lawns. There is a TV and DVD here, as well as a cosy wood burner, which keeps the room lovely and warm in the winter months, while the original slate flagstone floor makes for an attractive period feature. A basket of logs is supplied so that guests can make the most of the warming wood burner. The kitchen/diner is more than just a place to prepare and serves as a second social space, especially when the patio doors are opened, extending the area out into the grounds. The kitchen is well equipped with an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and microwave. A large cupboard houses the washing machine and tumble dryer. As well as the large farmhouse dining table, there is also a seating area here, with a second TV. Two of the property s bedrooms are situated on the ground floor.
