Residing in the picturesque town of Launceston, Cornwall, this charming Olde Worlde cottage offers a unique retreat for two guests. With one double bedroom, the cottage is designed to provide a cozy and intimate atmosphere, featuring an original farmhouse kitchen fireplace with remnants of a clome oven set within a large inglenook recess. The warmth of the wood burner on the slate hearth creates a welcoming ambiance, particularly during the cooler months. The living area, adorned with exposed beams and a dominant stone chimney, enhances the rustic character of the space, while a short, steep staircase leads to the bedroom, where sloping beamed ceilings and a window view of the budding orchard await guests.
This secluded rural hideaway is situated within a private estate encompassing 45 acres, providing ample opportunities for outdoor exploration. Guests have exclusive access to the entire cottage, ensuring privacy throughout their stay. The estate features a nature trail, wildlife ponds, a games room, pitch ‘n’ putt, and a children's outdoor play area, making it an ideal location for families and nature enthusiasts alike.
