Designed to celebrate and honour Cornwall’s rich mining heritage, this stylish apartment sets a striking note with its copper palette, mining prints and subtle antique touches alongside its contemporary decor. Housed in a Grade II listed townhouse dating back to1809, history may be in its bones but its aesthetic is nothing but 21st-century chic. The sociable open-plan living area is bathed in light thanks to the large sliding glass doors that lead out onto a private patio garden. This is the ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee on the bench while soaking up some rays and the table and chairs here invite alfresco meals aplenty – you’re even free to help yourself to the herb garden to liven up your homecooked feasts. Tucked away at the back of the apartment, you’ll find the copper-accented bedroom. You’ll have no trouble slipping into sweet dreams in this quiet spot, leaving you rested and ready for an exciting day of sightseeing upon waking up. Speaking of exploring, you’re right in the centre of Truro with countless shops and restaurants on your doorstep, as well as some of the city’s most famous sights, including Truro Cathedral (a three-minute walk), the Royal Cornwall Museum (a five-minute walk) and Victoria Gardens (an eight-minute walk). Elsewhere, you’re just a twenty-minute drive from both sandy Perranporth Beach – the only UK beach to have a pub on it – and St Agnes, where you’ll find surf schools, local ale pubs and myriad independent boutiques.
