½ mile from Lerryn, a wonderfully private, detached cottage with 19th century origins in an area of great beauty.
A big rambling garden (table/chairs, barbecue) encloses it, full of flowering shrubs and birdsong: brilliant freedom for older children to explore, yet enclosed at the front for younger ones.
Undulating meadows all around.
Inside, stylish yet family-friendly with fresh, simple, uncluttered decor.
Slate floors (thick rugs) downstairs.
Big double-aspect living room with TV/DVD/Blu-ray, woodburner and glazed door to garden.
Childrens snug with box of games/toys.
Spacious kitchen (dishwasher, fridge-freezer, electric range-style oven/induction hob) with meadow views.
Dining room with door to side porch and step down to back lobby (washing machine, microwave, sink) and little shower-room (suite).
Upstairs, three bedrooms - two kingsize (5' beds), one with limited clothes-hanging space, and a twin with beautiful meadow views.
Bathroom (suite plus hand-shower and separate shower).
The cottage is approached via 50 yards of hardcore driveway/cattle grid to gravelled parking area and carport.
A restorative, romantic bolt hole or family get-away, just ½ mile quiet lane walk from a good pub (remember torch) and village store.
Lerryn: exceptionally pretty village (pub, PO/shop, village green, slipway) spreading along both banks of the Lerryn Creek (good canoeing/kayaking) which ebbs and flows into the River Fowey through dense woodland, creating an ever-changing scene.
Canoe trips, 9 miles.
Lostwithiel (shops, pub, restaurants, castle, railway station), 4 miles.
Fowey, 4 miles via ferry.
