In a peaceful spot on the edge of Tretoil, on a 1½ acre smallholding along 200 yards of hardcore track, a simple cottage converted from part of an old engine house at the heart of Cornwall's ancient mining heritage.
The owner lives next door with friendly dog Fred and his carpentry workshop; home-produced pork available.
The back garden is unfussy and natural with raised rustic decking (table/chairs).
Three steps up from the garden to living room, cosy with woodburner and TV/DVD; snug dining room; kitchen (small dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, fridge, electric cooker) with door to garden; ground-floor shower-room (suite).
Open-sided stairs up to the double bedroom (5' bed).
No children.
Two well-behaved dogs welcome.
Dogs are not allowed upstairs in this property.
A fascinating escape for couples to enjoy walking, cycling or golf, or as a base for exploring the whole of Cornwall.
