The star’s parents are selling their stunning family home which is in ‘easy reach’ of scenic spots like Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor
Amanda Holden has reminded fans that her parents are looking to downsize and their home is now on the market. The TV personality, 54, issued an alert on Instagram just yesterday, drawing attention to the stunning Cornwall 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 home is conveniently located within a stone’s throw of North Cornwall’s coast and scenic spots such as Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor. Sellers describe it as a ‘true rural gem’, also boasting historic features, beautiful timber floors and fireplaces.
“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.” Last month, Amanda also shared a promotional video from Fine and Country Bude of the thatched home on her Instagram account.
The clip showcases panoramic shots of the property in Hersham, Bude, while an estate agent delves into its fascinating 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.” The detached thatched roof property features four cosy bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms, and a homely kitchen/breakfast area.
It also includes three annexes that boast a documented history of holiday letting income spanning over 10 years. Two annexes are single-storey, while the third features two floors, and offers a living room, kitchen, and conservatory.
Beyond this, future owners can revel in the ‘sweeping cottage gardens’, which feature serene patio spaces and three panoramic viewpoints offering sea views. Rightmove also notes an especially spacious driveway, with enough room for roughly eight vehicles.
Discussing the advertisement, 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.”
This storybook-like abode offers a haven of tranquillity yet remains conveniently located just under two miles from the historical village of Statton, providing easy access to local amenities like a medical centre, charming public houses, post office, and a store open every day of the week.
The coastal town of Bude is also only a short distance away. Here, visitors can enjoy a wealth of charming cliff walks and sandy beaches.
The property is currently listed at £895,000 on Rightmove. Visit its website for more information. You can also take a closer look inside the property here.
