Internally
Believed to date back to 1805, Dowrick Cottage is a delightful character home, rich in period charm and thoughtfully updated for modern living. Carefully maintained by the current owners, the property blends traditional features with contemporary comforts, creating a warm and inviting home ideally suited as a main residence, coastal retreat, or lifestyle purchase.
Features include exposed beams, open fireplaces, wood flooring and a cast iron oil-fired stove providing central heating and hot water. The addition of a ‘Shaker’ style kitchen, updated bathroom, oil-fired central heating system and wood-framed double glazing throughout ensures the cottage is both practical and comfortable year-round.
Notably, planning consent was previously been granted for a first floor extension to create an additional bedroom and bathroom (Application: PA13/02096), offering further potential to enhance the accommodation.
The ground floor offers a series of well-proportioned and characterful living spaces. The dining room provides a welcoming focal point, complete with an open fireplace and dual aspect outlook, while the sitting room enjoys a cosy ambience with its cast iron stove set within a granite fireplace recess.
The kitchen is well-appointed in a classic ‘Shaker’ style, featuring a Belfast sink, solid wood worktops and direct access to the garden, creating a natural flow between indoor and outdoor living. Beyond, an inner hall leads to a contemporary bathroom and separate WC.
A particularly charming feature of the cottage is the arrangement of the two first floor bedrooms, each accessed via its own staircase from the principal reception rooms. Both bedrooms enjoy dual aspect windows, exposed floorboards, vaulted ceilings and delightful views across the surrounding countryside with glimpses of the sea beyond.
The Annexe
Positioned at the foot of the garden, the annexe enjoys a particularly special setting, overlooking the neighbouring fields and beyond to the distant coastline. This peaceful vantage point enhances the sense of seclusion and connection to the surrounding landscape, creating a superb retreat for guests or an attractive opportunity for holiday letting.
Outside
The grounds are a key highlight of the property. The cottage is approached via a country lane, leading onto a private driveway with ample parking and single garage.
The gardens to both the front and rear are well established and enclosed, with the rear garden in particular offering a high degree of privacy while backing onto open farmland. This creates a wonderfully tranquil setting, with far-reaching rural views and distant glimpses of Veryan Bay and Dodman Point.
There is ample space for outdoor dining, gardening or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Summary
Dowrick Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented period home in a highly sought-after coastal setting. Offering character, privacy, additional annexe accommodation and potential for further extension, it is a property that perfectly captures the charm and tranquillity of the Roseland Peninsula.

Veryan and Veryan Green

Historical Note
Veryan is most famous for its nineteenth century thatched Round Houses. There are five in all, two pairs of which stand at each end of the village and another in the centre. They were originally built by a missionary, named Reverend Jeremiah Trist, for his daughters. The present name of the village is a corruption of St Symphorian, the Parish saint, which in 1525 had become St Severian leading eventually to St Veryan. Close to Veryan is Carne Beacon, a Bronze Age grass covered barrow and reputedly the burial place of the legendary 6th century chieftain, Gereint of Dumnonia from whom the nearby village of Gerrans gets its name. Not far from there is Veryan Castle, a small Iron Age hill fort.
