Fern Cottage

Just a short walk from the harbour and village amenities, it provides a peaceful retreat with private parking and a south-facing roof terrace — a true rarity in Boscastle.
Presented in excellent newly decorated order, all front-facing rooms include newly fitted shutters. At the heart of the home is a cosy living room with exposed beams and an open fireplace for added warmth. The dining room features a beautifully preserved original cloam oven which lights up adding a cosy glow, alongside ample space for a family table and chairs.
The new bespoke fitted kitchen is stylish and practical, with matching wall and base units, wood-effect tiled flooring, Neff oven and hob with extractor, ceiling downlights, under-cupboard lighting, and space for a fridge, freezer, and washing machine.
Upstairs, two inviting double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings provide bright and airy retreats, one benefiting from an en-suite and a large wardrobe — ideal for unwinding after a day exploring the North Cornwall coastline.
Outside, the private parking space adjacent to the property accommodates a large car, a huge asset in Boscastle, where parking is at a premium. A sunny first-floor roof terrace provides space for potted plants and garden furniture, perfect for entertaining or enjoying the sun. There is also a small shed.
The cottage is close to a primary school, doctor’s surgery, post office, independent shops, and a selection of pubs, and sits almost opposite the historic Bottreaux Castle site — now a grassy picnic spot with panoramic views over the village.
Full of character and ideally located, Fern Cottage is a lovely, cosy home, equally suited as a full-time residence or a coastal bolt-hole in one of Cornwall’s most famous harbour villages.
