A mid-terrace extended 19th century Cornish stone cottage in the small village of Ludgvan just over two miles from the sandy beaches of Mounts Bay and only six miles from St Ives. Situated in an elevated position above the road and reached via a flight of walled steps, it offers a very convenient base for exploring the West Penwith peninsula.

A wooden gate at the top of the steps opens to a south-east facing, enclosed decking area with patio furniture and views of the surrounding countryside over neighbouring rooftops. The front door opens directly into a warm and comfortable sitting room with a board and beam ceiling and lounge furniture arranged before the stove set in the hearth, including a single sofa bed for alternative sleeping arrangements.

A curtained doorway at the rear of the cottage leads to a neatly fitted kitchen with an electric double oven, belfast sink, a pine dining suite and a window overlooking the courtyard. A little utility area leads to a fully tiled bathroom W.C. with hand basin and shower over the bath, and a door from the hall opens to a small rear courtyard with a log store and bench seat enjoying rural views.

Rather steep carpeted stairs wind up from the kitchen to a tiny landing and to two pretty bedrooms, one very spacious with a 5ft kingsize bed and the other has a 2ft 6in single bed and a trundle bed stored beneath it. There are timer-controlled oil filled electric heaters in every room. It is possible to park on the road outside the cottage.

There are two pubs offering food within a ¼ of a mile and the nearest village shop/P.O. is in Crowlas ½ a mile away. St Michaels Mount and Marazion are about 2.5 miles and St Ives on the north coast, famed for its art galleries, is about 6 miles. Penzance is a few minutes drive and has a pleasant shopping centre, railway station and a ferry / heliport providing a regular service to the Isles of Scilly.

Please note: Bed linen is available at £5.50 per person per week and towels are available at £3.50 per person per week payable on arrival.
