Located in the charming village of Cawsand, Cornwall, this 17th-century Grade II listed cottage offers a unique blend of history and modern comfort. Just steps away from the beach, the cottage features a fascinating smuggler's tunnel cleverly concealed within an under-stair cupboard, hinting at its intriguing past. Nestled among sister cottages along a narrow lane, the property provides a peaceful retreat for couples or small families, with only occasional vehicle traffic enhancing its quaint atmosphere.
The interior of the cottage boasts spacious rooms adorned with original beams and some low lintels, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a tiled lobby that leads to a well-appointed bathroom. The living and dining area features a cozy wood-burning stove, perfect for relaxing evenings, while the cottage-style kitchen is equipped with slate flooring and elegant granite worktops. A rear hall offers ample space for storing beach gear, walking boots, and board games, making it a practical choice for those looking to explore the surrounding coast.
Ascending the steep, narrow stairs, visitors will find two comfortable bedrooms on the first floor, including a king-size double and a twin room. The landing also houses the entrance to the smuggler’s tunnel cupboard and a door leading to the garden. This unique layout not only enhances the cottage's character but also provides a sense of adventure for guests, particularly families with children eager to explore.
Outside, the cottage features an enclosed suntrap terrace, sheltered by a high wall, where guests can enjoy a glimpse of the sea between rooftops. This paved area, complete with a decked section and outdoor furniture, is ideal for al fresco dining or relaxing in the sun. With a welcoming atmosphere and convenient proximity to a local pub and shop just 50 yards away, this cottage in Cawsand is a delightful base for seaside adventures in the South West of England.
