The TV star's parents have put their stunning four-bedroom property on the market
Amanda Holden took to social media to remind everyone about her parents' Cornwall home, which is now for sale. The 54-year-old television star shared that her family is planning to downsize, while drawing attention to the stunning property.
"Parents are downsizing," she said, sharing a link to the Rightmove advertisement. In a previous post, she also added: "[They are] selling their beautiful home in Cornwall."
The four-bedroom house is ideally situated just a short distance from the North Cornwall coastline and picturesque locations like Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor. Advertisers refer to it as a 'true rural gem', highlighting its historic elements, fireplaces and homely timber floors.
"Tucked away in a tranquil setting with breathtaking countryside and coastal views, this charming Grade II listed detached Cornish cottage, believed to have built around the turn of the 18th century, is a true rural gem," the listing reads, according to the Mirror.
"With a distinctive thatched roof and a wealth of historic character features—exposed beams, fireplaces and timber floors." In May, Amanda also shared a promotional video from Fine and Country Bude of the thatched home on her Instagram account.
The video features sweeping views of the property in Hersham, Bude, as an estate agent explores its intriguing history. "I have a real treat for you today, I'm looking forward to showing you the video of this beautiful Grade II listed cottage behind me called Hersham Carpentry," they said.
"It's where all the hand carts were made in the area back in the day." This detached property with a thatched roof offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast area.
Three annexes are also located on-site and have a recorded history of holiday letting income for more than 10 years. Two of the annexes are single-storey, and the third consists of two floors, including a living room, kitchen, and conservatory.
Moreover, future homeowners can enjoy the 'sweeping cottage gardens' that include tranquil patio areas and three panoramic viewpoints showcasing sea views. Rightmove additionally highlights a notably large driveway that accommodates around eight cars.
Speaking on the advert, Amanda's family have reportedly said: "We are sad to leave this lovely home we have lived in for over 22 years. We will miss the early morning bird song and the gorgeous vistas and spectacular sunsets from different viewpoints throughout our gardens.
"We have had many wonderful memories of barbecues in the garden with family and friends. Unfortunately age has caught up with us and begrudgingly we feel the time has come to downsize and be nearer to family.
"We will miss our wonderful house and all our neighbours (95% of which are still here). It is so peaceful and quiet and very private and although in a country lane only five mins car ride away from amenities and the wonderful sandy beaches."
Nestled in Hersham, a hamlet south of Kilkhampton, Cornwall, the location offers an idyllic setting. The property is slightly less than two miles from the historic village of Statton, featuring a medical centre, assorted local taverns, a post office, and a well-stocked shop open every day of the week.
The seaside town of Bude is just a stone's throw away too, offering visitors an array of picturesque cliff walks and sandy beaches.
The property is currently listed at £895,000 on Rightmove. For more information, visit its website. You can also take a closer look inside the property here.
