Comfortable, well-equipped 19th Century granite ex-coastguard's cottage with open fire, sleeps 5

This 19th century cottage is situated on the Penwith peninsular close to Cape Cornwall. Backing onto the cricket ground, it is about an 8-minute walk to the town of St. Just, and about 10 minutes to Cape Cornwall Golf and Country Club. Although the cottage is over 200 years old, it has been completely re-furbished to modern standards, while retaining the character of this lovely old granite building. Broadband is also now available. Most rooms have network connections, so bring your lap-top and network cable.

The lounge / dining room, with beamed ceilings and original internal granite walls, is some 21 feet by 16 with a multi-fuel stove in a lovely inglenook fireplace, although the cottage does also have full oil-fired central heating. The large and airy fully fitted kitchen was re-built in 2001 and has all the facilities you would expect, including a dishwasher. There are three bedrooms - one double, one twin and one study cum television room cum bedroom, which in total comfortably sleep 5 people. The shower room has a thermostatic shower as well as lavatory and hand basin, while the bathroom has a lavatory and hand basin along with the bath; there is also a downstairs cloakroom with lavatory and hand basin. Outside, the small front garden is protected from the prevailing winds with a dry-stone wall and hedges, and is a real suntrap. At the back is a raised parking area, and a stone shed. Sorry, but we do not accept children, smokers or pets.
