About this property
Situated in the heart of one of the most attractive and sought after seaside villages in Cornwall, this beautifully and stylishly furnished stone cottage is set in a small private mews just a short stroll from the harbour of the historic Georgian working port of Charlestown. As you arrive and enter this delightful cottage you immediately sense the homely feel and character with a nautical influence that carries on throughout. Designed in an 'upside down' style the two bedrooms are both located on the ground floor along with the bathroom. On the first floor the open plan living room offers total comfort and relaxation with cosy seating, a country style dining area and a well equipped kitchen.
Outside, the patio area offers a delightful suntrap where you can relax with a refreshing drink and decide whether to dine alfresco or take a short walk to one of the fine choices of restaurants, pubs and cafes. Charlestown to this day remains unspoilt and full of Georgian character. Looking at the fleet of magnificent square rigger ships in the harbour you are transported back into a bygone era and it is easy to see why this is such a popular setting for films and TV series such as Poldark. A wonderful setting in a beautiful cottage for a truly memorable holiday whatever time of year.
A delightful and much sought-after coastal village of stone cottages and Regency houses, on the south coast near St. Austell. Famous for its collection of tall ships riding at anchor in the harbour, the shipwreck museum, excellent pubs and restaurants and easy access to the coastal path, it’s the perfect holiday destination. The area is rich in golf courses with Carlyon Bay and Porthpean close by. The picturesque fishing village of Mevagissey is 20 minutes' drive away by car, while the Lost Gardens of Heligan, several stately homes and gardens and the fabulous Eden Project are all within 5 miles, with Newquay and North Cornwall coast only a 35 minute drive away by car.
