Tucked away along a private lane in the peaceful rural hamlet of Boswin, just outside the village of Porkellis, Netley Cottage is a beautifully presented two-bedroom detached Cornish cottage, bursting with character and traditional charm. Dating back to the mid-1800s, this delightful stone-built home combines original period features with modern comforts, including solar panels with battery storage, all set within picturesque gardens enjoying stunning countryside views.
Approached through a pretty, secluded front garden, the cottage welcomes you into a charming sunroom, perfectly positioned to enjoy the surrounding views. Beyond lies a delightful farmhouse-style kitchen, featuring traditional flagstone flooring, exposed ceiling beams and an impressive granite fireplace housing an electric Rangemaster. A Belfast sink, butcher's block-style worktops and space for freestanding furniture further enhance the room's rustic appeal. The adjoining lounge is equally characterful, boasting exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings and a magnificent inglenook fireplace with a gas fire, while underfloor heating beneath the flagstone flooring provides additional comfort. Patio doors connect the lounge to the sunroom, creating a lovely space to relax and unwind.
To the rear, a versatile study leads through to a practical utility room with a partially vaulted ceiling, fitted storage, laundry facilities and access to the garden. This area also incorporates a convenient ground-floor WC and houses the property's water pump, purification system and solar battery storage.
Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms retain the cottage's wonderful period character, with stripped wooden floors, traditional sash windows, tiled window seats and impressive chimney breasts featuring decorative display shelving. A charming family bathroom completes the first floor, offering a vaulted ceiling, traditional high-level WC, wash basin and bath with electric shower, alongside useful built-in storage.
Outside, the beautifully established gardens provide a peaceful retreat, with a sheltered front patio surrounded by mature trees and shrubs, perfect for alfresco dining or enjoying the tranquillity of the countryside. Extending around the side and rear, the gardens are enclosed by traditional dry stone walls and Cornish hedgerows, incorporating a lawn, vegetable patch and off-road parking area. A substantial garden shed, wood store and oil tank provide additional practicality, while breathtaking views stretch across the valley towards Burras and Black Rock in the distance.
Offering an enchanting blend of historic charm, modern conveniences and idyllic rural surroundings, Netley Cottage presents a wonderful opportunity for those seeking a characterful countryside home. With its beautiful original features, delightful gardens and peaceful setting, this truly special cottage must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
