The Cob

About this property

An 18th century traditional detached cottage, with sea glimpses from the garden, in the middle of the rural hamlet of Treligga. This cosy cottage retains many of its early features including some of the original slate flagstones on the floor and with white painted natural stone and cob walls.

Approached from a peaceful country lane, a gated path leads to the enclosed garden at the rear, where 3 granite steps lead up to a sheltered patio with sea views on the horizon over the Cornish hedge. Entered through a small porch with an inner door opening into a narrow L shaped kitchen with fitted units and a rustic dining area set beneath a wood panelled sloping ceiling.

A low doorway leads into the oldest part of the cottage and a small sitting room with a low board and beam ceiling, an oil fired stove which provides heating and hot water, and a sofa bed as a sleeping alternative.

Wooden stairs wind up in one corner of the room to a gallery bedroom with a 5ft bed, a cross beamed ceiling and slightly sloping natural floorboards. Beyond the bedroom is a bathroom W.C. with hand basin and shower over the bath, and views over the hamlet and surrounding countryside towards the sea. There is off road parking for one small car directly outside the front of the cottage.

The nearest shop and pub are at Delabole, about 2 miles away by road, but can also be reached by footpath across the fields. The attractive fishing village at Port Isaac and the sandy beaches of the Camel Estuary are within a 15 minute drive, and for a wider selection of amenities, the towns of Camelford and Wadebridge are about 20 minutes by car. Trebarwith Strand beach, 1.5 miles away on foot, and the dramatic North Coast cliff path and Tregardock beach can be reached via a walk across the fields.
