Originally an 1830s woodman's cottage, this unique detached house is set in 13 acres of private woodland - yet is just two miles from the stunning beaches and charming galleries and shops of St Ives.

The original carriageway winds through the grounds, opening up to a lawned area with a summer-house and a pond. Guests (and their four-legged friends) can enjoy the private walks in the woods.

The house is traditionally furnished and has everything you will need for a family holiday or a gathering with friends at any time of the year. The large kitchen/diner provides an ideal setting for a convivial meal and a catch up, and the conservatory/sun-room makes a lovely space in which to eat or play board games. Two cosy sitting-rooms provide space for both children and adults to relax and the large wood-burner is the perfect spot to snuggle up in front of after a day out exploring and due to the house being in a private woodland has plenty of free logs.

From the main sitting-room, a staircase leads up to the five pretty bedrooms. A stepped landing leads you to the main bedroom, and a separate servant's staircase takes you down to the smallest (or cosiest) of the sitting-rooms. (Take care as this staircase is narrow and steep).

This lovely detached property lies close to Porth Kidney's magnificent sandy beach and Lelant's renowned links golf course, and is just a short drive from all the village amenities including an excellent pub and a shop. There is even a little railway station, from where a delightful train journey with the most striking coastal views will take you to nearby St Ives with its galleries, shops and restaurants.

A trek around the most westerly tip of Cornwall, the Penwith peninsula, to take in the amazing and breathtaking views - even on a cloudy day - is worth the effort. The Minack Theatre at Porthcurno justifies a trip even if you don't stop to take in a performance and iconic St Michael's Mount at Marazion is well worth crossing the causeway for when the tide is out. Just don't be too long or you will get your toes wet on the return journey.
