Inspired by the light at Barbara Hepworth’s house in St Ives, the owners have crafted the perfect artist’s studio – a place to retreat, rest and be inspired by the beauty of life. Tucked behind a Georgian–listed house overlooking the historic harbour of Charlestown, this is a wonderful setting to experience the atmospheric charm of Cornwall. And with its elegant styling and traditional features, there’s a quiet joy to this home that makes you want to settle in and stay. You’ll love waking up and stepping into the private garden – this is a lovely spot to feel the refreshing sea breeze as you drink your morning coffee. Inside, the space is sensitively designed to feel intimate and cosy – at night you can hear the calming sound of waves in the distance. And when you feel inspired to explore, it’s just a short stroll down to the beach and across the quay to the village. Here you’ll find a lovely pub, restaurant, cafe, deli and antique shop, while other highlights like the Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan are less than a twenty–minute drive 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. We're talking about Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, Poldark and many more. We can see why this UNESCO World Heritage Site is so popular. It's got an enchanting Grade...
