Nestled just off a quiet lane in the village of Delabole, Bumblebee Cottage is a beautifully detached, character-filled home with a rich history and a host of modern upgrades. Constructed primarily from slate sourced directly from the neighbouring Delabole Quarry, this 200-year-old cottage offers a unique blend of heritage, charm, and lifestyle—perfectly positioned just over a mile from the popular North Cornwall coastline.

Carefully restored over the past decade, the cottage offers stylish yet sympathetic updates throughout. The living and dining area is a true centrepiece, boasting exposed beams and two striking inglenook fireplaces—each with original bread ovens—complemented by a contemporary Contura wood-burning stove. The adjoining garden room, with its aluminium bi-fold doors and underfloor heating, creates a bright and inviting space that seamlessly connects the interior to the outdoors. The property is offered to the market chain-free and also presents potential for extension, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with composite worktops, twin NEFF ovens, and sleek cabinetry, while the bathroom exudes individuality with bold tiling and a hand-sourced Moroccan metal basin. Upstairs, the main bedroom features an exposed slate wall and decorative oak details, while the second bedroom, currently used as a dressing room, could easily be repurposed to suit your needs. A bespoke oak staircase with built-in storage adds a practical and elegant touch.

Modern living is well-catered for, with full-fibre broadband delivering speeds up to 900Mbps, cloud-based heating and security systems, solar panels, underfloor heating, a recently fitted LPG boiler, and slate-grey double glazing throughout. A recent Mundic report confirms the property’s structural integrity, offering reassurance to buyers.

Outside, the landscaped garden offers a mix of Mediterranean-style planting, a lawned area, rose beds, a water feature, and a generous dual-height deck—perfect for enjoying panoramic countryside views stretching all the way to the “clay mountains” of St Austell. A detached, highly insulated garden building serves as a superb home office, gym or studio and houses the solar inverter.
