Amanda Holden gives reminder about stunning Cornwall property
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.

Puerto Rican coquí frogs are loud. Islanders want to keep it that way.
For many Puerto Ricans, the nightly chirping of 'coh-KEE' — the sound of a tiny frog known as the coquí — is like a national lullaby. But for one purported tourist, the noise felt more like a nightmare, according to a now-deleted Reddit post from May on the Puerto Rico Travel thread. The post, titled 'Spray to keep the noisy frogs quiet?', alarmed residents and lovers of the amphibian. In the last month, dozens have voiced their concerns across social media about their fears that visitors to the island appear to want to silence the creature. On TikTok, videos pleading to leave the coquís alone have millions of views. Some users have urged people not to come to Puerto Rico if they don't like the sound of the coquÍs. Others have joined in the chorus of voices calling on people to protect coquís from possible harm. Alejandro Ríos-Franceschi, an associate professor of ecology, biodiversity and evolution at the University of Puerto Rico, Ponce Campus, said that before the social media post, he had never heard of people in Puerto Rico attempting to kill coquís. Puerto Rican environmental officials have not weighed in on the online uproar. However, Ríos-Franceschi isn't surprised by the fears expressed by many locals and environmental enthusiasts online, given how beloved the frog is. On the island, many Puerto Ricans are taught from a young age to care for and appreciate them. 'The coquÍ is not noise — it's a living soundtrack of the Puerto Rican identity,' Ríos-Franceschi said. There are 17 species of coquís, most of which are endemic to Puerto Rico, according to Ríos-Franceschi. The creatures are tiny, muddy and brown. Males are known for making 'co' sounds to dissuade other males, while the 'qui' sound is meant to attract females. As a U.S. territory, Puerto Rico is subject to the rules and laws of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, which means anyone who harms a coquÍ could face serious legal trouble. As of 2017, some coquÍs were listed as endangered. But the common coquÍ, which makes the iconic sound, are not endangered. The frog is also an invasive species in Hawaii, Ríos-Franceschi said. In 2003, The Associated Press reported that state and federal officials were trying to eradicate the Oahu coquÍ frog population, citing the need to control them. The superstar rapper and singer Bad Bunny, who is from Puerto Rico, has even posted about the creature. Last week, he appeared to allude to the ongoing discussion about them by sharing an Instagram story featuring their croaking in the background of a clipped version of his song 'Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii,' which translates to 'What Happened to Hawaii.' Ríos-Franceschi, who is also a research director for the nonprofit conservation group Proyecto Coqui, said if tourists are actually coming to Puerto Rico and trying to spray the coquí with chemicals, it could enter the groundwater and spread to other creatures, possibly disrupting the entire ecosystem of the island. To Puerto Ricans, the sound of the frogs, Ríos-Franceschi said, is "melody for our ears, but I can understand that for tourists that are not used to it, it can be bothering.' 'But that doesn't mean that when tourists come here, they have the right to kill them just because they're annoying.'

Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins on ‘ridiculous' feud rumours
There has been speculation that the two co-stars had drifted apart after being on the HBO show, which follows the lives of guests and staff at a luxury resort as dark secrets are revealed and tensions rise over the course of the holiday. The third series sees the positive Chelsea, played by British actress Wood, 31, try to keep her mysterious older boyfriend, Rick, played by 53-year-old US actor Goggins, calm in Thailand. Following the 2025 series, Goggins appeared to step away from his fellow co-stars, and unfollow Greater Manchester-born Wood on Instagram. They both addressed the swirling rumours during a joint interview for US publication Variety, which was published on Wednesday. Goggins said: 'There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman (Aimee) madly, and she is so important to me.' He added that 'she's special', and explained he had not addressed the reports before as he did not want to talk about Wood when she was not there. 'I think it's such a comment on where we're at culturally. Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant. We don't give a shite about Instagram,' Wood said. Goggins said that when he finished The White Lotus he 'needed to just back away from everyone', as it is his 'process' when filming a project ends. 'It's all so ridiculous,' he said. 'It's just a part of me just saying goodbye to this character so that now Aimee and I will be friends for f****** ever.' Wood previously criticised a Saturday Night Live sketch, with an cast member impersonating her with exaggerated prosthetic teeth, calling it 'mean and unfunny' on Instagram. She told Variety that it 'felt misogynistic. It felt like the punchline was a woman's appearance, which is just not funny. It's not cool'. Goggins shared the same sketch online and praised Jon Hamm for playing a version of his character, before deleting the Instagram post, ahead of hosting SNL> He said he was 'gonna say it (something) to your face', and added: 'I don't use social media in any way, and I'm not a mean guy.' SNL apologised for the April sketch, according to Wood, and the comedian and cast member who impersonated her, Sarah Sherman, sent her flowers to apologise. Wood is also known for Netflix teen show Sex Education, BBC comedy Daddy Issues and the 2022 drama film Living with Bill Nighy. Goggins has been in Western series Justified, post-apocalyptic series Fallout, and drama Sons Of Anarchy. He has had two Emmy nods, while Wood has won a TV Bafta for Sex Education and been given a Rising Star Bafta nomination.
