… in Penrose, a south-facing Georgian cottage, semi-detached to its sister cottages. Its new owner has spent time and care combining all the comforts of the 21st cent. with a great deal of 18th cent. charm, creating glossy magazine style. Access up a few shallow steps through its herb and bulb-filled paved front garden where tables/chairs have been placed to catch the sun at various angles; a low wall hugs it around.

Little porch into well-equipped cook’s kitchen (dishwasher, washer-drier, microwave, fridge-freezer, cooker with induction hob) and dining area with handsome working Cornish solid-fuel range, TV/Sky/DVD/Blu-ray, music system, slate floor and comfy sofa. Living room with lush fabrics and vibrant colours complementing original Delabole slate floor, TV/DVD and big inglenook (woodburner) ensuring cosiness. Steep stairs up to three attractive bedrooms, all with wall hooks for clothes-hanging and painted floors (rugs) – a double (5’ bed) with en suite shower-room (suite) and TV, another  double (5’ bed) with TV and roll-top bath plus hand-shower within the room, and a small room with two built-in singles (one 5’ long). Bathroom (suite, shower over bath, bidet). Secure shed for bicycles/surfboards. A pamperingly gorgeous cottage, just a mile inland from north Cornwall’s glorious coast.
