Description:

Superbly positioned on one of Cornwall’s best loved coastlines, this charming house is a rare opportunity to acquire a family home in one of the finest locations on the North Cornish Coast Description Bishops Rock was built by the current vendors’ grandparents in 1937. It stands on the clifftop as a perfect, nostalgic reminder of an era that few can remember but many would like to imagine as idyllically sunny, with birdtails on the terrace, jazz on the gramophone and wooden surfboards in the waves before breakfast: the era of poet laureate Sir John Betjeman’s poem Greenaway Tide after tide by night and day The breakers battle with the land And rounded smooth along the bay The faithful rocks protecting stand. In the decades since this was written Greenaway has hardly changed. The familiar style of white rendered, stone and slate construction has served well. Entering the house, the relaxed atmosphere of past holidays is palpable. Authentic period features remain, such as the original doors, oak floors, small-paned windows with slate sills and butler’s bell system in the kitchen. An entrance corridor has a shower room, convenient for rinsing off straight from the beach, and then opens to the kitchen, open plan and triple aspect with beamed ceiling, a large granite island with inbuilt oven and hob, a wide alcove which originally housed the range, the pantry and replacement double glazed doors to a southeast facing patio. Demanding attention away from all these features, however, is the magnificent ocean view beyond the wide expanse of windows. Another hall leads from the kitchen to the front door beside which is the cloakroom with wc, and to double doors into the drawing room where the slate fireplace is a feature. With windows on three sides this room is filled with natural light. It opens onto the sunlounge, which in turn opens through double patio. Still available at ListedBuy!
