For the right buyer, Bossiney Court will feel like stumbling upon treasure – treasure that comes in the shape of a very run down Manor House set back from the North Cornwall coast.
Imagination, large-ish pockets and a pinch of romance should provide the magic needed to bring the enchanting former manor house of Bossiney Court back to life.
This Grade II-listed property near Tintagel Castle, with its stone carvings of the Duchy crest and floral motifs, is in dire need of a revamp and is currently divided into two separate accommodations totalling five bedrooms. It is currently on the market via Millerson for £1.5 million.
As the pictures here show, the interiors have fallen into quite a state — this really is a place where the new owner will have to arrive with eyes wide open.
That said, the rewards for taking the place on are huge, for this has clearly been a wonderful home and can be again, offering over 2,5000 sq ft of space.
The nearly 2½ acres include formal walled gardens, an adjoining building that could be reinstated to further add to the bedroom count and a large detached barn, former home of the Tintagel Pottery, established in 1948.
There are two drives plus other garages and outbuildings. Bossiney Bay is walking distance and Boscastle is three miles away.
Bossiney Court is currently on the market via Millerson for £1.5 million — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for further details.
