Residing in the picturesque village of Lapford, Cornwall, this charming 1930s farm workers cottage has recently re-entered the holiday rental market as of January 2023 after a year-long hiatus. The cottage, set within the grounds of a listed former Rectory known as The Grange, offers a tranquil retreat at the end of a private quarter-mile tarmac lane. With a capacity to accommodate up to four guests, it features two cozy bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which includes a shower upstairs, while a convenient WC is situated on the ground floor.
The interior of the cottage boasts a well-equipped dining room and kitchen, complete with a central island, and is complemented by modern amenities such as flat-screen TVs and DVD players in both the sitting room and kitchen.
