Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A charming coastal haven in the heart of Charlestown, this home is ideal for celebrations as well as cosy family moments. Split across two properties, a cottage and an adjoining coach house, and set within a well-kept garden, it has Cornish charm in abundance. Inside, there’s plenty of communal space, from the snug and living room to the games room, letting the kids play while the adults unwind. Outside, fire up the barbecue or relax in the sun, with the harbour, cafés, beach and pubs just a short stroll away.

About Charlestown
If you get a sense of déjà vu when you see the beautiful village and port of Charlestown for the first time – it's probably because this place has been the film location for a host of movies and television series.
