Description
Situation - Magpie Cottage is situated on the B3144 between Port Isaac and Delabole, 1 mile South West of Sea View Farm Shop and Cafe.

The village of St Teath is just under 2 miles away, offering a post office, well-regarded pub, an award-winning café, preschool and primary education, a church, and a village hall. Around 4.5 miles away on the North coast is Trebarwith Strand beach, owned by the National trust and known locally for its surfing.
For a wider variety of shopping, the nearby market town of Camelford, 5 miles away, has a supermarket, medical and veterinary services, schooling and leisure amenities. Wadebridge, located 7.5 miles to the south, on the River Camel, is home to the famous Camel Cycle Trail, which links the towns of Padstow and Bodmin.

The property offers well-proportioned accommodation with three double bedrooms, three shower rooms, two reception rooms and a thoughtfully designed modern kitchen, alongside ample off-road parking and established gardens.
The Property - On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance porch leads into a cosy sitting room, where a stone fireplace with log-burning stove and slate hearth creates an inviting focal point.
