About this property
Nestled on the outskirts of the pretty village of Cusgarne, with easy access to the coastal resort of Falmouth, Cornwall, is this handsome detached farmhouse, Chycoose Barn. Set in a picturesque location beside an orchard and private meadow, Chycoose Barn is a tranquil and homely setting for your next escape to Cornwall. A gravel driveway greets you upon arrival at the property, offering three sought-after parking spaces, making it easy to park up and enjoy a day exploring the area on foot. As you enter the property you're welcomed by a cloakroom with a washbasin and WC and a handy utility area featuring ample storage space as well as a washing machine, offering a convenient place to wipe off any sandy toes or muddy paws and freshen up your wardrobe before continuing through to the living areas. The designated chef will be delighted with the spacious galley-style kitchen, beautifully appointed with gleaming fittings and a contemporary design, with a dining table positioned in the center of the room, providing the perfect place to socialize with your loved ones as you tuck into a heart-warming meal. In the warmer months, head outside to enjoy a spot of alfresco dining on the patio, where you're enveloped in the picturesque scenery of the surrounding countryside and the neighbouring orchard and meadow, both of which are exclusive for your use during your stay. Head back inside and gather the group in the sitting room, leaving the patio doors open to invite a calming breeze indoors, and nestle in on one of the plush sofas to enjoy a movie night together. After an adventure-filled day, climb the stairs and prepare for bed in the family bathroom, fitted with a bath as well as an overhead shower, so you're able to decide between enjoying a leisurely soak or washing away the day. Rest your head in one of the three bedrooms, choosing either the double with king size bed, twin or single, all thoughtfully presented with a light and airy décor and offering dreamy views across the countryside. Take the short stroll into the village of Cusgarne for a traditional Cornish delicacy from the local family run bakers, Pete's pasties, followed by a wander around Bissoe Valley Nature Reserve, once a mining site and now a nature reserve homing woodland, ponds and colonies of butterflies. Avid cyclists can enjoy a welcome pitstop at Bike Chain Bissoe, where adult bike hire is available, and refuel with an energizing cup of coffee or a spot of locally-sourced food before embarking on one of the exciting Mineral Tramway Trails nearby. Pack up the car and head to the coast for a fun-filled day out at the seaside town of Falmouth, home to miles of golden sandy beaches stretching along the coastline, including the Blue Flag award winning Gyllyngvase beach, the largest in the town and offering a great place to experience water-sports whilst you soak in the panoramic views. The town has a host of local history to discover at The National Maritime Museum Cornwall as well as a number of pubs, trendy bars and world-class restaurants along the promenade where you can enjoy a refreshing drink or a bite to eat with a captivating view across the water. Alternatively, why not visit the vibrant Cornish locations of Porthtowan, Portreath, Truro, St Ives, and the awe-inspiring Lizard Peninsula slightly further afield. Whether you plan to explore the countryside or the coast, Chycoose Barn is the perfect base for your next getaway to Cornwall!
The quaint village of St Day is nestled between the bustling city of Truro and the former mining town of Redruth, home to a local pub and convenience store as well as a granite, gothic-style church, with plenty of history to discover dating back to 1828. Cusgarne is popular with walkers, cyclists and horse riders who flock to explore the 7.5 acres of scenic heathland, woodland and ponds.

Nice to have tea, milk, biscuits, dishwasher tablet etc on arrival. We would have liked a couple of comfy outdoor chairs to enjoy sitting outside with a glass of wine, there were two sun loungers but they were too low for us to use. Just a thought as a slight improvement for the future. Also we did put our recycling in the boxes provided but no info as to when we needed to put them out for collection. All in all a great cottage.

Plenty of space for the two of us. The only minor issue was that I could not find an electric shaver socket in the bathroom. However, that did not significantly detract from an most enjoyable stay.
