Harford

About this property

Harford is a charming and character-filled cottage tucked away in the heart of Goldsithney, Cornwall, offering a wonderful base for families and friends looking to explore this beautiful corner of the county. Rich in quirky features and local history, the property was originally the Timekeeper's Cottage for the nearby Tregurtha Down Tin and Copper Mine. Workers would clock in at the cottage before making their way through the garden and along Gears Lane to the mine. The room overlooking the front garden was once used to oversee and monitor the workforce. Be welcomed into a delightful home where charming features mix with ample amenities to create a homely stay.

Enter into a sunroom where morning coffee can be enjoyed, before heading out to explore the local area. From here there is a kitchen/diner, a bright space ideal for creating and enjoying hearty meals. After a beach day, head into the charming living room and warm your feet beside the crackling woodburning stove, set into an exposed stone feature wall. When sleep calls, freshen up in the shower room before cosying up into either a double or twin bedroom. The garden is a lovely space to enjoy a tipple in the sunshine, with your four-legged companion reclining on the grass. Goldsithney is a quintessential Cornish village with local shops and village pubs just a short stroll away.

Around 2 miles from the cottage lies the iconic St Michael's Mount, where visitors can cross the famous causeway at low tide and explore the historic island castle. Nearby Marazion offers a beautiful sandy beach and stunning coastal views, while popular Praa Sands is just 3 miles away and perfect for days beside the sea. Venture further afield to Penzance with its artistic atmosphere, browse the galleries and waterfront, or visit the picturesque fishing village of Mousehole. The dramatic Minack Theatre, perched high above the ocean, and the South West Coast Path also provide unforgettable experiences for visitors to this remarkable region.

With so much to see and do nearby, Harford is an excellent choice for a memorable Cornish escape.

A typically Cornish country village with picturesque houses, shops and village pubs, Goldsithney is set back from the coast, thus escaping the main tourist rush, yet lying close to all the main attractions. Dominating the area and just 2 miles away is the off shore island castle of St Michael's Mount - reaching it via the causeway when the tide is out is a must. Right on the doorstep there are fabulous beaches, the coastal path (winding its way over the cliff tops) and plenty of sailing and fishing. Visit Penzance, with its slightly bohemian air, the cliff-top theatre at Minack or the stunningly beautiful fishing villages of Marazion and Mousehole - a superb base for exploring beautiful Cornwall.
