A CHARACTERFUL AND SURPRISINGLY SPACIOUS COTTAGE IN THE HEART OF CRANTOCK, JUST MOMENTS FROM THE VILLAGE AND WITHIN EASY REACH OF THE BEACH. ARRANGED OVER THREE FLOORS WITH THREE FIRST-FLOOR BEDROOMS, AN IMPRESSIVE TOP-FLOOR ATTIC ROOM, THREE BATH/SHOWER ROOMS, TWO RECEPTION ROOMS AND A RECENTLY REFURBISHED KITCHEN. OUTSIDE THERE IS AN ENCLOSED REAR GARDEN, PARKING AND FANTASTIC COASTAL AND COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS FROM THE UPPER FLOOR.
Starfish Cottage occupies a fantastic position in the highly sought-after coastal village of Crantock, offering a rare opportunity to live within easy reach of both the village centre and the spectacular North Cornish coastline. Crantock is renowned for its beautiful sandy beach, village pubs, local shop and strong community, while the surrounding coastline and nearby West Pentire provide miles of coastal walks and open countryside. Newquay is also within easy reach, providing a wider range of shops, schools and everyday amenities.
Entering the property, a welcoming hallway immediately introduces some of the cottage's character with its attractive patterned tiled floor. The separate living room is a comfortable and well-proportioned space with exposed timber flooring and an impressive feature fireplace, creating a natural focal point to the room. Continuing through the ground floor is a generous separate dining room, providing plenty of space for a family-sized dining table and featuring tiled flooring, timber detailing and a decorative Aga set within a characterful recess. Useful under-stairs storage provides additional practicality and offers potential space for a tumble dryer.
Opening from the dining area is the recently refurbished kitchen, finished with a contemporary range of blue-grey units complemented by light work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. The kitchen incorporates an integrated oven and hob, stainless-steel sink and space/plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher, with excellent worktop and cupboard space. A door leads directly outside to the enclosed rear garden, which combines paved seating areas, lawn and established planting. A particularly useful addition is the outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach. Off road parking is provided for one vehicle at the front of the cottage, with further parking or additional space available to the rear.
The first floor provides three bedrooms, including a particularly appealing main double bedroom with exposed timber flooring. Discreetly concealed behind louvred doors is a surprisingly generous en-suite bathroom, comprising a bath, separate shower enclosure, twin wash basins and WC. Two further bedrooms complete the sleeping accommodation on this level, alongside a separate shower room with electric shower, wash basin and WC.
A staircase continues from the first floor to an impressive top-floor attic room, currently utilised as a substantial additional double bedroom. The room benefits from its own shower room with electric shower, WC and wash basin and, arguably most importantly, makes the most of the cottage's elevated position. Wonderful views extend towards Crantock Bay, the coastline and headland, while the opposite aspect looks across the surrounding Cornish countryside. French doors also provide access onto a private balcony/roof terrace, creating a superb spot from which to enjoy the open rural outlook.
The property is served by oil-fired central heating and combines plenty of traditional character with particularly versatile accommodation and a recently updated kitchen. Its combination of space, outside areas, parking and an exceptional position close to Crantock Beach makes Starfish Cottage a particularly interesting long-term home in one of the area's most desirable coastal villages.
