In a wooded valley in Perranarworthal, The Brass Bolt Shop is a Grade II listed cottage on two levels in a smart private residential development of cottages and apartments converted from historic Perran Foundry and set within 5 acres of grounds in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the banks of the River Kennall. The foundry dates from 1791 and was a hub of industry until 1879; it is now a fascinating World Heritage Site. Particularly good for couples or a small family. Inside, the cottage has been artfully renovated to sensitively merge contemporary comforts with the original spirit of the building. The open-plan split-level living-dining room has slate floors and oak beams and a vaulted ceiling; step up to the stylish fitted kitchen and through to the ground floor double bedroom and the shower-room. Head up stairs to a charming mezzanine area with sofa, chair and door to small decked area, and to the second double bedroom with TV and en suite bathroom with bath and power shower over the bath. To one side, some decking with garden furniture below a wooded slope – a lovely place for bird watching. An immaculate cottage steeped in history, a wonderful place in which to escape and convenient for visiting Truro and Falmouth.
