POLDARK fans can live like the famous character played by Aidan Turner if they have £600k to spend.
A historic cottage in Cornwall – where the popular BBC drama is set – has been put up for sale.
The property is just two miles from Cornwall's stunning northern coast in the town of Bude.
It dates back to the 17th century and has been renovated in the last decade.
John Tape, from estate agents Webbers, said the “Poldark effect” has boosted Cornwall’s profile.
He said: "The Poldark effect has been great for people both buying in Cornwall and visiting.
"I think the area around Bude is definitely on the map more now as people are looking at new destinations in the county."
The house, called Hobbs Choice, has three bedrooms, two reception rooms, two kitchens and two bathrooms.
It also has more than an acre of grounds, with a stream running through the land.
John said: "You might get the odd passing tractor but it's very peaceful and because it's set down in a valley you lose the road noise.
"It's a cracking spot and ideal for escapism.”
He added: "I can see it being somebody's little bolthole given its location.”
