DESCRIPTION This remarkably 'chocolate-box', Grade-II listed cottage plus annexe has lots of (pleasant) surprises in store - the biggest being the substantial garden and space for plenty of parking. Originally part of a farmstead, this characterful property has a total of five bedrooms, four reception rooms, and three bathrooms as well as a separate shower and a WC - plenty of accommodation options! The main home has two reception rooms at the front with exposed beams, granite inglenook fireplaces (currently decorative) and all the charm you would expect in an old, Cornish cottage. At the rear of the property, you have a good-size kitchen, and a further, larger sitting room with two sets of sliding patio doors out to the garden. To the first floor are four bedrooms, three of which are doubles, and two of which have ensuite shower rooms. The master bedroom is a large double, with easy walk-in access to a loft area for storage. The bedrooms at the rear of the property benefit from great views out to the coast, and each have a wash basin. There is a shower room off the main landing, as well as a separate WC off the rear landing. Connected to the main kitchen via an inner hallway, or accessed via its own entrance to the side, is an annexe that could be used as one bedroom accommodation. There is a bedroom, living room, small kitchenette/utility as well as a family bathroom. Outside the property are surprisingly large gardens that stretch behind the terrace adjoining the property - there is also a large parking area for three or four vehicles as well as an area of overgrown shrubbery that could either be cultivated as garden or re-purposed for further parking. LOCATION Pendeen is a fantastic village with a strong community spirit and much to offer residents. The area has a strong history linked to mining and is in the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site. The village offers a convenience shop, several pubs, a primary school, and various eateries within easy reach. There is also the Centre of Pendeen; a brilliant resource that is well-used by locals for activities, markets, and festivities. Pendeen is a short walk to the rugged and wild West Cornwall coast.
