| Location | Approximately half way between Penzance and St Ives, Cockwells is a settlement of just a few cottages around an ancient chapel with outlying farms and countryside with glorious views over patchwork fields, coastline and beyond. Privacy and a degree of seclusion is afforded in this lovely situation, which also offers excellent communication to neighbouring towns with regular bus services and mainline railway link at St Erth 1.5 miles. In an area favoured by artists for the quality of the light and the traditions of the Newlyn School and more recently The Tate at St Ives, one is always aware of a rich cultural heritage. There are numerous recreational opportunities with open countryside suited to equestrian pursuits, sailing beaches, the coastal footpath and all tourist attractions. Local shopping and all amenities are available at Penzance and the Cathedral city and regional centre of Truro is approximately 20 miles.

| The Property | Dating we believe from the 1850s, this quintessential Cornish cottage exudes charm and character. Set in its own delightful gardens with lawns, kitchen garden and hidden away higher level garden; the cottage is in a little oasis of tranquillity and set back from the A30, good communications are enjoyed to nearby towns. The three first floor bedrooms and superb family bathroom complement a very generous living room and additional ground floor facilities. A well equipped kitchen with range style cooker opens to a utilities area /boiler room which gives further useful storage but could be adapted to a number of purposes. The property is majority double glazed and has undergone additions and modifications over the years resulting in a slightly unusual layout that provides really generous and versatile living accommodation. Viewing is most highly recommended and strictly by appointment with the Penzance Branch of Miller Countrywide. (01736) 364260.
