The Property
Built in 1926 and cherished by only three owners throughout its history, Four Winds occupies one of Boscastle’s most commanding coastal positions. Set within approximately 0.7 acres of beautifully established gardens, this exceptional detached residence has been thoughtfully reimagined by the current owners to fully embrace its extraordinary setting, with a clear focus on maximising light, space and uninterrupted coastal outlooks. Every principal room has been carefully orientated to capture panoramic views spanning over 180 degrees across the Atlantic coastline, stretching from Ladies Window to Warren Point and beyond.

Approached via a private driveway, Four Winds offers extensive parking for numerous vehicles, making it equally suited to both family living and entertaining.

The kitchen and breakfast area forms an inviting sociable hub for everyday living, thoughtfully designed to connect with the adjoining spaces while retaining a wonderful sense of definition. A separate utility room is positioned beyond, providing practical convenience without interrupting the flow of the home.

A private terrace to the rear and an elevated balconied terrace to the front enjoy the same uninterrupted coastal landscape as the main accommodation.
