Vicarage to restore in Cornwall

Anyone who feels a project coming on may be tempted to explore the possibilities offered by the early-19th-century Vicarage and its 17th-century cottage at Tintagel, Cornwall, which have come to the market through Humberts in Truro (01872 278288) at a guide price of £595,000 for the whole.

The four-bedroom former vicarage, which needs substantial renovation, stands in a wonderfully quiet spot within half a mile of the coast, and comes with a deconsecrated 1930s chapel and a dovecote.

Expenditure of £150,000–£175,000 would be required to bring the property up to 21st-century standards of comfort, the agents say.
