Property Description

Nestled amidst picturesque rural countryside, Barn Owl Cottage is a superb granite barn conversion, on the doorstep of the quaint harbourside village of Porthleven and within a short drive of the many attractions on The Lizard Peninsula. Positioned in a courtyard setting adjacent to The Old Farmhouse (No.970 and next to Swallow Cottage No.1125) which can be booked together to accommodate large groups, this single storey cottage makes an ideal retreat for families, with an acre of parkland garden which is shared with the two neighbouring barns offering space for children to fly kites or play football. Old beams add character to an open-plan living room and dining area incorporating a cream kitchen at one end. Doors from the living room open onto a sheltered patio excellent for alfresco dining, beside a small walled terraced garden which leads up to the field beyond. Helston is 3 miles away and has much to offer for all ages, with a short-hole golf course, a swimming pool and sports centre, a boating lake, tennis courts and Flambards theme park. Discover the sublime beaches and hidden coves and caves for exploration at low tide - Praa Sands and Church Cove have a Meditteranean ambiance with turquoise waters and golden beaches. Enjoy the inland and coastal footpaths and experience the breathtaking sea views from the granite cliff tops. Penzance is bustling and lively with something for everyone and Marazion, with its long stretch of sandy beach overlooking the magical St Michael's Mount, is a great spot to have refreshment. The ever-changing seascape of waterborne activity will entertain you whilst you relax or rock-pool. Venture across, by ferry or by foot over the cobbled causeway at low tide, and amble round the pretty harbour with cottages, restaurant, café and shop. Falmouth, famous for its sea-faring heritage, harbour, Henry VIII's Pendennis Castle and National Maritime Museum is peppered with galleries and gift shops, traditional inns and eateries set along characterful streets.
