Listing link: Inviting coastal cottage, Dunn Street, Boscastle, Cornwall

One of the attractions of Cornwall is the cosy coastal villages. Boscastle is a tourist magnet for its harbour and don't forget to check out the museum of witchcraft.

Dunn Cottage on Dunn Street is just the kind of small but lovely cottage you would expect to find along the coast. The bright white walls, the elegant sash windows and the horseshoe over the door invite you in to rest a while in a comfy armchair by the log burner.

The rooms are airy and full of natural light. The kitchen could be described as rustic but looks clean and functional. The window seat in the bedroom invites you to sit and drink in the view from the window.

Outside the courtyard garden gives you a nice place to sit, let your mind wander and enjoy the fresh coffee.

The only thing about the house that says 'go away and come again another day' is the lack of parking. There is on-street parking but you might want to check how busy it gets before committing yourself.

Overall this cottage is just an invitation to come sit, relax and enjoy the simple pleasures. Life moves slowly in this cottage so you might as well relax and embrace the simple pleasures it offers.

Do say: Throw another log in the stove and pass my hot chocolate.

Don't say: Sorry I am late, I had to park in the next village.

Ruined Cottage requires a visionary

Location: Milton Lane, Wookey Hole, Wells, Somerset Price: £150k Agent: Jeanes Holland Burnell, Wells Link: Property Details Noteworthy features: ruined cottage, planning permission (holiday let only), great location, garden facing glass wall. Usually Estate agent photographs are fairly bland but this one is bordering on artistic.The perfect summer retreat up a quiet lane in rural somerset high above Wookey Hole near the beautiful cathedral city of Wells. Of course you will have to build it first. The building part could be tricky, I am no builder or expert in structural engineering but my first concern would be how much work you have to do on those walls to make them sound. In the worst case are they just a large pile of local stone to be reused or with some minor work the walls could be patched up in place. You definitely need an expert opinion on this one. Even though the plans include a nice extension on the back it will still be small but then again...

Check out that view! Bideford, Devon

The view alone for this house is worth the asking price of £235k . The house is a bit of blank canvas needing a complete refurbishment but could become a dream house with some serious work. Listing link: Check out that view! Bideford, Devon. If you buy this house you will spend your time looking at the view. I give it a day before you order some binoculars or a telescope and the bay windows are just asking for a window seat. The house has clearly seen better days and you probably need to be a builder or need a tame builder to help you put things right. On the upside, the kitchen has already been ripped out so you can completely redesign that to your taste. The rooms are all large and there are some nice period features such as the hall floor and fireplaces. The small third bedroom also has a sheltered balcony overlooking the river, a perfect spot to sit and watch the world go by. The back garden is nothing to speak of but then you will be spending most of your time out the front for th...

A tale of two houses - Victoria Road, Camelford, Cornwall

This house in Camelford, Cornwall evokes strong opinions, you will either love or hate it and at £400k you need to think this through. Listing link: Victoria Road, Camelford, Cornwall. This is a tale of two houses, both alike in dignity. In fair Camelford, where we lay our scene. This house and you could be star-crossed lovers just like Romeo and Juliet or like Julies Caesar you might need to beware the houses of Camelford. This house is perhaps noteworthy for its character but also some of the style and design choices the current homeowner has made. A jury of 12 people, good and true would debate late into the night of the merits or quirks of the house. Looking beyond the style, the building's essence reveals itself. The front boasts a touch of French inspiration with elegant yew trees in the garden—a noteworthy topic for dinner conversations. The large open windows and the light throughout the property are the stand-out features. The stunning Rococo ceiling and other intricate ar...
