The Property

The Old Farmhouse

The original farmhouse at Hillsborough is a beautiful Grade II listed, two-storey double fronted cottage. Built of Cornish stone and set in a South facing position, the property has well-proportioned living accommodation with a timeless kitchen/breakfast room boasting far reaching views of the sea and coastline.  Benefitting from many traditional features such as original slate flagstone flooring and exposed beams, the farmhouse radiates character and charm. There is a practical utility room, separate dining room with inglenook, two reception rooms, one of which has glazed doors leading out onto a private enclosed garden. The first floor comprises four spacious bedrooms, one of which benefits from sea views, along with a family bathroom. There is scope to convert one of the ground floor reception rooms into a further bedroom if desired.

The Hayloft

Recently converted to a high standard, the Hayloft is a delightful two-storey detached barn conversion with spacious and comfortable living areas throughout. Comprising reverse living accommodation to make the most of the sea and countryside views with a vaulted open plan living room running the full length of the first floor. A log burner with a beautiful brick surround divides the kitchen and dining area from the sitting area.

Location

Hillsborough Farm is situated less than 1 mile from the picturesque natural harbour village of Boscastle. Nestled within the Valency Valley, the village is one of the most renowned and desirable coastal locations on the north Cornish coast. With plenty to explore such as the pretty harbour, local pottery, and art galleries as well as a Museum of Witchcraft there is a good range of cafes and public houses, including The Rocket Store restaurant. The surrounding coastline offers some of Cornwall’s most dramatic and picturesque scenery which can be enjoyed from the ever-popular Southwest Coast Path.

Tintagel is approximately 4.5 miles to the south-west, while a similar journey to the east will bring you to the superb sandy surfing beach at Crackington Haven. Port Isaac is about 12.5 miles away with Nathan Outlaw’s seafood restaurants. A few miles further down the coast lies the Camel Estuary with Rock and Padstow sitting proudly on either side of the river. The estuary provides a playground for sailors, water ski and windsurf enthusiasts, with excellent surf available at nearby Polzeath. Both locations offer a wide variety of bars, cafes and highly sought-after restaurants including Rick Stein’s and Paul Ainsworth’s restaurants in Padstow and Paul Ainsworth’s pub, The Mariners, in Rock. Golfers are spoilt for choice; Bowood Park is located just 7.5 miles from the property whilst The Point and St Enodoc Golf Club can be reached within 30 minutes by car.
