Corentin was formally known as Belvedere house, constructed in the late 1800s and has an enormous amount of history attached to it. It is believed that the famous Thomas Hardy was the architect who designed the property and that no expense was spared at the time of construction. The property is mentioned in “The book of Boscastle” which provides information about the property and its uses during the last century.
Corentin is a substantial home which has many original features including high ceilings with ceiling roses and cornicing in each room, original tall sash windows, picture and dado rails to name a few. There are three large reception rooms and servant’s quarters plus 2 cellars. There are attractive Victorian fireplaces throughout and a beautifully crafted pitched pine staircase leads up to a galleried landing. The property benefits from a fabulous view towards the floodlit church, cliffs and sea beyond which can be enjoyed from both ground and first floor. There is a separate cottage attached at the rear which provides a letting income or additional accommodation and there is planning permission for 2 new dwellings within the grounds of the property the planning numbers being 2009/00646 and 2007/01231 – details of which can be provided upon request.
