Awash with character, this beautiful white-washed cottage will wrap you up in its charm so much that you may never want to leave. Delicate neutral furnishings populate the rooms, designed to complement the home and not take attention away from the beauty of the building itself. If you’ve ever pictured a tranquil retreat in a chocolate box cottage, surrounded by countryside and with the coast on your doorstep, this home can bring that dream to life. Walk through the front door and your eyes will instantly be drawn to the exposed beams and classic inglenook fireplace. Imagine winter escapes here – after a day out exploring this stretch of the Lizard Peninsula, you can return home and warm up in front of the glow of the wood burner. We love the window seats in the living area, too. Just the spot to sit with a book and a cuppa, and lose yourself in another world for a while. The sunny walled garden will tempt you outside in warmer months. In this quiet corner of the village, you’ll be able to dine alfresco with loved ones, with the only noticeable sound being the gentle sizzle of the barbecue. Kick back, relax, and... pour yourself a glass of wine as the peaceful setting washes a sense of calm and pure relaxation over you. Classic, characterful and utterly charming – this is a home where memories are made, and you’ll want to return again and again.
