Trenoweth: tiny hamlet of granite cottages deep in narrow lanes surrounded by meadows, about 2 miles from Falmouth. Footpaths radiate from the hamlet. Nearest pub/shop at Mabe, 2/3 mile. Nearest sandy beach at Swanpool, 3 miles. Argal reservoir (picnicking, fishing), about 1 mile.

... in the heart of Trenoweth, an end of terrace granite cottage (probably mid-Victorian) with long views over Argal Lake (fishing, walks) to the coast. Smartly renovated with sensible quarry tiled floors throughout downstairs. To the front, a very pretty, longish, enclosed garden, full of shrubs; at the back, a paved, enclosed, terraced courtyard. Conservatory with cane furniture, through to living/dining room with leather suite, pine table/chairs, CD player and big fireplace (woodburner, huge granite lintel); neat fitted kitchen (microwave) with Belfast sink and beech worktops; utility room with
dishwasher and washer-drier; bathroom (suite plus separate shower); back door to courtyard. From the living room, open tread wooden stairs up to three bedrooms - a double, a single with pull-out truckle (2'6 beds) and another single. Phone for incoming calls. No smoking. Great out of the way spot, but easily accessible and brilliantly positioned for yachting and visiting many of Cornwall's finest gardens.
