It is literally the last house on the right hand side at the bottom of the lane down to the beach, arguably one of the most sought after positions for miles around. It is known to have been acquired by ‘Wrecker Lee’ in 1847 shortly after he was implicated in the disappearance of a large haul of wrecked goods from a nearby beach. The house was subsequently sold to a Mrs Foster in 1924 who owned the house until 1956 when it was sold to our client’s parents privately as they had been tenants since 1947 thus it is the first time in nearly 100 years that this incredible freehold is being offered for sale publicly. The site extends to just under ½ an acre and is level and enclosed enjoying a surprisingly high degree of privacy and seclusion as well as shelter due to hedge topped stone walls and the protecting nature of the sand dunes between the house and the beach, although there are some glimpses of the sea from the first floor. A driveway leads to generous parking and to the rear is a garden and courtyard but the majority of the sizeable grounds are found on the seaward side at the front where there is a huge lawn ideal for marquees and parties but also with great potential for landscaping. Our clients readily accept that purchasers will have differing plans for the house and the opportunity exists to refurbish the sizeable accommodation which is currently arranged as two adjoining 4 bedroomed houses – one part of which has been a very successful holiday let for many years. There are many pleasing attributes to the current building including areas of wood boarding, huge slate flags under some of the carpets and a wonderful Delabole slate roof laid in diminishing courses over interesting roof profiles. There are however further exciting opportunities for the redevelopment of the site, subject to planning and all requisite consents. This is truly one of the most rarefied of positions along the north Cornish coast and its availability should be taken seriously and accordingly buyers are advised to make time to attend the property as soon as possible to fully appreciate all that is on offer and the immediate proximity of one of the county’s most loved and talked about beaches. The house is in the market to be sold straightaway with no onward related transaction.
