Charming St. Austell Escape

This charming Grade II-listed cottage in the picturesque village of Charlestown is ideal for small families, couples or friends looking for a relaxing coastal getaway. The property is just 500 metres from Charlestown's historic harbour, plenty of seafood eateries, and a shingle beach for seaside strolls. Keen walkers can access the famous South West Coast Path (500 metres) to enjoy hikes with spectacular coastal views. Head to the world-famous Eden Project (3.5 miles) for a perfect day out.

On arrival at this welcoming two-storey property, step into a hallway with cottage-style stairs leading up to the first floor. Downstairs, the hallway opens into a cosy and homely living room with two sofas, one armchair, and a Smart TV - everything you need to unwind after a day of exploring. The cottage style includes characterful features, from beamed ceilings and exposed stonework to a Belfast sink and a Cornish dresser. The kitchen is home to all the necessary appliances for rustling up your favourite meals or a picnic. A large dining table is perfect for mealtimes and planning activities. Upstairs, you'll discover a king-size bedroom and a twin bedroom. An additional smaller room serves as a dressing room or a workspace. A bathroom completes the features of this beautiful Cornish cottage. Outside, dine alfresco in the enclosed front garden, which combines a furnished, paved terrace with a good-sized lawn. At the back of the house, across the shared pathway, steps lead up to a second garden overlooking fields at the rear. There is on-street parking (subject to availability) and a 24-hour car park less than 500 metres away (charges apply).

Further afield are the iconic Lost Gardens of Heligan (6.5 miles), offering a magical glimpse into one of England's most fascinating garden restorations. The nearby fishing village of Mevagissey (5.5 miles) is a must-see destination, where colourful cottages and harbourside pubs create a picture-postcard setting for a leisurely afternoon. For coastal adventures, explore Duporth and Porthpean beaches and Polridmouth Cove, all within 10 miles, and all well worth a visit.
