Renovating a grand coastal property while contending with hidden tunnels and spooky goings on has been a labour of love for TV presenter Anouska Lancaster.The interior designer and QVC UK presenter, and her husband Greig Scott, a specialist printer, snapped up three-storey, six-bedroom Penally House in the north Cornwall fishing village of Boscastle after a simple evening drive-by. “The whole of the front garden was covered in bluebells in the sunshine, and it has its own coastal path out to the sea.
It just ticked every box for us.” Aside from continuing renovations, the duo are also embarking on new adventures in the property with the pair determined to locate a secret tunnel and investigate previous reports of resident ghosts. “Everyone in the village talks about a secret tunnel that leads from our house to the sea, but we haven’t found it yet,” says Anouska.
“The owner of the house was a smuggler so it would have been for bringing in contraband. We’re hoping to find it full of gold one day! “We think a cupboard drops down into the tunnel so we’re exploring that, and we’ll also go out in a boat to explore the cave exit.” And what about those ghostly rumours that span back decades? “A Google search brought up Britain’s most haunted houses and Penally was in there,” Anouska recalls.
“I said to Greig, ‘I don’t know if I can do this!’ “Rumour has it there’s the ghost of the original guy who killed himself here, and you can hear horses’ hooves going around the drive at certain times.There’s also the ‘lady’ passing through the window. “I haven’t felt any haunted vibes but maybe she just loves my decor! I’ve been in haunted houses, but this feels warm with nothing untoward.” Built in 1836 for local merchant William Sloggatt,

Naveen Kumar A posh country estate where half a dozen lovers unveil their infidelities is the setting of “The Cottage,” which opened at Broadway’s Helen Hayes Theater tonight. Set in 1923, this comedy of manners by the playwright Sandy Ruskin is so thoroughly old-fashioned that it may come as a surprise it’s not based — like so many Broadway outings lately are — on existing material. Which is not to say that any part of it feels original. This is a paint-by-numbers sex farce, with parameters that do not extend beyond the obvious: heterosexual marriage is restrictive for all, unreasonable for many, and, oh, so thrilling to transgress. The forbidden-fruit pleasures that “The Cottage” tries to pass off as a feast, in a lavish production directed by Jason Alexander, are familiar, superficial and fleeting.
