The Bridge, Boscastle, Cornwall, PL35

Occupying the second floor of Hollowell House, this well presented flat offers a rare combination of character, convenience and coastal atmosphere in the heart of Boscastle. Positioned within the conservation area in the lower part of the village, the building has attractive stone and slate elevations and a strong sense of place, while the flat itself enjoys an elevated outlook across the rooftops towards the National Trust owned headland and dramatic cliffs beyond.

Inside, the accommodation is comfortable, practical and easy to enjoy, making it well suited to a range of buyers. The sitting room is a particularly appealing space, with two windows drawing in natural light and framing the far reaching view towards the valley and coastline. The kitchen has space for a dining table, giving it a sociable feel for everyday meals and relaxed stays by the coast. There are two bedrooms, one double and one single, along with a bathroom, creating a layout that works equally well as a main home, a secure lock up and leave base, or a holiday let.

The flat has been maintained and improved by the present owners and benefits from Upvc double glazing and electric heating. Hollowell House contains just six flats and is managed by the freeholders, helping to create a cared for and settled environment. The communal slate courtyard adds further appeal, offering a pleasant shared space with seasonal planting and a backdrop that reflects the character of this historic coastal village. Altogether, this is a property that combines low maintenance living with genuine lifestyle appeal in one of North Cornwall’s most distinctive harbour settings.

Services: Mains water, electric and drainage.

On entering Boscastle it is probably best to park in the main car park in the lower part of the village and as you walk towards the bridge and access to the harbour, Hollowell House will be found on the right hand side, just before the bridge. Go through the archway to the left hand side of the building and then flights of stairs lead up to number 5 Hollowell House which is situated on the second floor.
