Accommodation overview: Midway between Truro and St Austell in the ancient township of Grampound, this delightful Grade II listed renovated character cottage retaining much of its charm is in an ideal position to explore the bustling harbour of Mevagissey only a ten minute drive away and with easy access to the cathedral city of Truro.

Set a short distance down a quaint ungated pedestrian alleyway, a stable door opens directly to a spacious open plan living room with oak veneer laminate floor and painted exposed beams. There is a country style modern kitchen with a rustic dining suite and sitting area with comfortable lounge seating arranged next to the wood burning stove with a warm rug.

At the rear an arch leads through to the utility room with laundry facilities, coat pegs, storage cupboard and stable door to the small patio outside. In one corner of the lounge a narrow carpeted staircase winds up to the light first floor landing off which are two comfortable bedrooms; a double with a king size bed and two steps down to a twin bedded room. To complete the first floor accommodation is a well presented shower room W.C. with hand basin.

The small enclosed courtyard garden can be accessed through a gate from the pedestrian alleyway or through the stable door from the utility room with bistro table and chairs on the wooden decking. There are two allocated parking spaces in the Dolphin Inn car park nearby.

The nearest local store/post office is in Grampound Road 2.5 miles, for a wider selection of amenities St Austell is only 6 miles offering a cinema, leisure centre, golf course and home to the famous St Austell Brewery.
