Summary:
This incredible home for six is like no other. From the front, a whimsical white-washed fisherman’s cottage with wooden sash windows. Out the back, a stylish contemporary cabin straight out of Scandinavia. Inside, a calm and modern sanctuary awaits, with an outside terrace for alfresco dinners in the sun and a cosy living space to snuggle up when it’s cool. It’s easy to spend most of your time here, but with all of St Agnes right on your doorstep, you’ll love exploring the local area.
The Space:
It’s rare to find a home with such a seamless blend of old and new. The front of the property mirrors that of a traditional Cornish cottage, boasting wooden sash windows and a pretty pink front door. Step through into your cosy living space, decorated in fresh whites and calming neutrals - it’s hygge at its best. Snuggle up on the sofa when storms roll in, getting comfy in front of the wood burner. Or take to the dining table for board games that last long into the night.
Upstairs, find a light and bright kitchen with everything you need to cook up a feast - make sure to grab the day’s catch from the local fishmongers! Plus, there’s a stylish king-size bedroom and a bathroom with a luxury walk-in waterfall shower. From the kitchen, you can get direct access to the garden where you’ll find the cabin adjacent.
Two additional beds are found in the scandi-inspired cabin, finished with stunning Crittall doors and stylish interiors. In contrast to the cottage, the modern space has an open-plan feel. Find a king-size bed, a double sofa bed and an ensuite bathroom that accommodates four. Plus, there’s a kitchenette for added convenience.
The whole property is set up to enjoy indoor-outdoor living, with a beautiful garden that boasts peace and tranquillity. And best yet, you’re located in one of St Agnes’ most enviable locations. A stroll down the hill takes you to the soft shores of Trevaunance Cove, whilst the other way leads to pubs, restaurants, bakeries and shops.
Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the whole cottage and separate cabin.
The Neighborhood:
St Agnes is one of Cornwall’s most-loved regions, not only because of its bustling community feel but also its pretty streets, renowned surfing and stylish shops. Beach lovers will find bliss on the golden sands of Trevaunance Cove, a picturesque spot for sunbathing or swimming. Surfers flock to this area for its excellent waves, making it a popular spot for water sports enthusiasts.
The village is also part of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Cornwall’s Mining World Heritage Area, meaning that you’ll find history and scenery in abundance. Reminders of the village’s mining past can be seen in the former engine houses, which can be found nestled along the coastline. Head there for sundowners and you may even spot dolphins and seals out at sea.
Embark on exhilarating coastal walks along the South West Coast Path, where you can marvel at views of the rugged cliffs and charming coves. Don't miss a visit to St Agnes Beacon, Wheal Coates or the fairy pools at Porthtowan. Indulge in the vibrant local arts scene, pay a visit to the home of Finisterre, the British outdoor atelier brand, or tuck into delicious food at any of the charming eateries. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or culture, St Agnes has something for everyone. Explore its natural wonders, uncover its fascinating history, and embrace the warm hospitality of this enchanting coastal gem.
Getting Around:
Due to the remote nature of Cornwall, a vehicle is recommended for getting the most out of your stay here. Free parking is available on the surrounding streets plus there are a few paid car parks - the nearest being at the library.
