Hi I am Zoe,
I work for the NHS and I bought Silver Shells as my retirement home as I work nearby and love the area, the problem is I cannot afford to retire yet so my home has to earn its keep, and I live with friends. I am not Cornish but have been in the area for about 35 years. I originally came to Cornwall to study Art in Plymouth and Art is something else I want to do more of when I retire. So for the time being I really enjoy making my home look lovely so my guests enjoy it as much as I intend to in the future.

Why they chose this property
Silver Shells is my idea of heaven, I bought it as my retirement home as it really is a walkers paradise and so close to some fantastic surf beaches. The breath taking scenery and the coastal path is a ten minute almost level walk away and I just love taking a bottle of wine over their to watch the sun go down, this can also be seen from my Lounge window but I like listening to the waves crashing on the rocks below. I then walk on another ten minutes and I am down in Boscastle harbor for a bite to eat or listen to some live music in one of the lovely pubs. Silver Shells is also close to Bude, Trebarwith Strand, Tintagel, Port Isaac home of Doc Martin and Polzeath. The bus also stops at the top of the road and there is a shop at the service station a five minute level walk. How good can it get.
What makes this property unique
Silver shells is a real Home from Home, and is very user-friendly, just a beautiful 15 minute fairly level walk from the coastal path, on your way you will pass the children’s playing field and our local football pitch.
The lovely Boscastle harbour is a 20 to 30 minute walk down the hill through the old village. Boscastle has a small beach and harbour which many of the locals swim in. The Napoleon pub is a fairly level 10 minute walk from the back gate, featuring lovely food and live sea shanty music from the Boscastle boys on a Tuesday night. A really well stocked shop is also a level five minute walk from the back gate and parking is right outside your door.
