3 bedroom cottage

Ref: DB0795

We are delighted to bring to the market “Hillcrest” a picture-perfect, double fronted Cornish cottage, originally built over 300 years ago, but with later additions, offering a mix of traditional cottage features and modern amenities.

The interior has been completely renovated throughout over recent years to create a very relaxed and welcoming family home.   

Located in the beautiful and sought after village of St Minver.  This civil parish is just a short drive from some of the most stunning beaches such as Rock, Daymer, Polzeath and Lundy Bay.

Entry to the property is via a traditional slate gabled porch through an Arts and Crafts style glazed cottage door into the hallway offering generous cloakroom storage and entry to the double reception room with a striking traditional Cornish slate and stone open fire (which we are told was once located in the home of the ‘Poet Laureate’  Sir John Betjeman)  The reception room then flows through a decorative alcove into the light and bright sitting room overlooking the stunning rear garden via bi-fold doors. 

The Hallway also runs to the dining room, where immediately you will spot the “Clome” traditional Cornish baking oven, an enviable bygone feature in the far stone wall.

The dining room leads into a spacious kitchen with inky blue coloured cabinets, white quartz worktops and boasting quality appliances; Neff hob and double tower oven, AEG dishwasher and a Zanussi washer/dryer. 

There is a downstairs cloakroom off the hallway before taking the staircase up to a spacious and quirky landing area with a large airing cupboard and the master bedroom (hosting a substantial en-suite bathroom) and two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. 

There is an abundance of storage space throughout the cottage, as well as shelving and charming feature window sills and beams.

Hillcrest comes with both a private parking space for two vehicles and a single garage.  

The rear exterior of the property has a paved lower patio area, offering space for alfresco dining, as well as a relaxed seating area.  Steps then lead to a contemporary lush lawned area with raised beds and horizontal sleepers, their rustic charm creating a minimalist effect.

The front of the property is adorned by a pretty walled cottage garden and a tranquil seating area.

The civil parish of St. Minver has a local post office/shop just a few yards away from the property and The Perceval Institute offering a host of facilities for the local community.

The very popular village of Rock, (approx. 2 miles) offers a host of amenities, from shops, restaurants, café, a water ferry to the bustling Harbour of  Padstow, water sports and an outstanding Golf Club.
