DESCRIPTION Dale Cottage is one of a most attractive pair of three storey houses, with its neighbour then also being attached to a delightful thatched cottage. The property is situated in the heart of the village with other period buildings around it and it looks across to the village green especially from the upper floors. The house has
3 been very well looked after and modernised over time with double glazed windows, contemporary lighting, modern bathrooms and is beautifully decorated throughout in a beachside style that suits both the location and the property without removing features such as exposed floorboards and painted beamed ceilings. The house has been consistently let through Cornwall Holiday Cottages (www.crantockcottages.biz) and can be sold as an ongoing holiday letting investment with bookings already in place and contents available by separate negotiation. Our clients have also enjoyed use of the property as their own holiday home and there is of course no reason at all why one could not live at the property year round in this well served village beside the sea. LOCATION Crantock is one of the county s most sought after north coast villages as it is picturesque and protected from the weather behind the sand dunes at the back of the long sandy Crantock beach with the Gannel Estuary flowing down one side. There are very few estuaries on the north coast and so its rare sheltered waters are revered for bathing and perfect for children to play away from the excellent surfing along the rest of the beach. There are walks through the sand dunes and then around the mostly National Trust owned coastline to other beaches at Porth Joke and Holywell. There are also walks up the Gannel Estuary at lower states of tide and it is possible to cross over to Pentire and Newquay, with a summertime ferry also making the short journey. In the village there is a tea room and restaurant, an inn and a general store. There are further services nearby at Cubert where there is also an excellent countryside inn. The nearby resort town of Newquay offers a full range of shops and services including out of town retail areas, many bars, restaurants and cafés as well as a
4 sports centre, a branch line railway and schooling. Under ½ an hour s drive to the south is Cornwall s capital city of Truro where there are three private schools and a comprehensive range of local and national retailers along with many clubs and societies.
