Chynhalls Farm House

Chynhalls Farm House is a charming 300 year old, Grade II Listed, Cornish thatched cottage in the beautiful fishing village of Coverack, recently restored into a fine example of an authentic cottage with huge character and boasts an expansive headland garden and an enclosed courtyard garden.

Situated on the serene and unspoilt National Landscape (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) on Coverack headland and looking directly out over the bay to Coverack's famous sandy beach and picturesque fishing harbour, it has stunning 270 degree views of the sea.

The cottage is one of the oldest in the village and was a farm for over three centuries, when the headland was used only for agricultural land and livestock grazing. It has been said that the original footings and key stones were salvaged from a monastery on the headland in the 12th Century which was subsequently torn down and ravaged after the Medieval Inquisition.

With Mears beach practically on your doorstep and only a few minutes' walk to Coverack's main beach and harbour with the local Paris Inn pub, it is the perfect place to stay and soak in the unique and peaceful setting and its spectacular, clear starry nights. The property is a wonderful eclectic mix of traditional and modern, and every divine luxury has been lavished upon.

This gorgeous sanctuary offers a spacious and calming retreat with original features such as ornamental fireplaces, beamed ceilings and traditional thatched roof. Entering via the sunny courtyard, you will be met by the light but cosy living area which leads on to a maze of charming rooms and spaces. The enchanting, sea blue snug offers a hideaway to snuggle down and has wonderful outlooks over Coverack and beyond.

The kitchen, separated from the living area by a marble stoned hall and pantry, is light and airy and everything you'd expect from a traditional cottage kitchen. The pantry has plenty of space - perfect for keeping the champagne cool on the wide, slate shelves. There is a hand-built oak kitchen, with many modern appliances. The traditional Aga (lit from early October to the end of April) and belfast sink are accompanied by the modern Bosch hob and Samsung dual cook oven, along with a Bosch dishwasher, large Bosch family fridge/freezer, Bosch washing machine and Smeg drier.

The long dining-room looks out over the pretty courtyard which is a fabulous sun trap. This high beamed room provides a tranquil space for a sunny breakfast and atmospheric candlelit family dining. There is plenty of additional living space in the conservatory too, which has a sublime view out to sea - it's as perfect for summer evenings as it is for winter days, or to have a little peace and quiet hidden away from the rest of the house.
