Character cottage in centre of Cornwall with sun trap garden

New to Vrbo in 2023
Established holiday cottage

Located right in the centre of Cornwall, this cottage is an excellent getaway for people wanting to explore Cornwall. Less than 2 miles from the A30, both coasts are within a 20min drive, meaning it is ideally located for exploring the wonderful beaches and surroundings that Cornwall offers.
It is 15mins from Eden Project, and is based in the centre of Roche, with a Co-op, Chinese takeaway, kebab shop, fish and chips, family butchers & pubs within a minutes walk.

The cottage is from the 1800's and was originally 2 separate properties. Due to this, the walls within the property are incredibly thick and the ground floor rooms have low ceilings with exposed beams.
There are 2 log burners in the cottage; one in the dining room and one in the lounge. The log burners are the most efficient and comforting way of heating the cottage, and you are free to use them safely whilst you stay.

The cottage has been renovated throughout, including a brand new kitchen and bathroom, whilst keeping the historical features such as the original stone chimney breasts, beams and original timber bathroom floor.

The main bedroom has a comfortable super king size bed, small walk in wardrobe and chest of drawers.

The second bedroom has a double bed and freestanding wardrobe.

The third bedroom has a single day bed, with a pull out single bed underneath, so can sleep 2 as a twin room.

The bathroom has a large freestanding bath, large rainfall shower head and hand shower, illuminated mirror, waterfall tap, electric towel rail and toilet.

The dining room has an extendable table to seat 6.

The back garden is a sun trap and incredibly peaceful and private. There are raised beds for plants and some vegetables, which you are welcome to help yourself to if they are ready. There are 2 sun loungers, and an outdoor table and chairs for 6 with parasol for the summer evenings. There is also a built in BBQ.

Dogs are welcome, and the garden is secure for them.

There is parking for 2 cars at the cottage, on the gated driveway. However, the driveway is shared by the neighbours so the cars need to be parked either side of the access route through so being a confident Parker is essential as it can take some manoeuvring for a large car.
There is also free on-road parking outside.
