About this property

Carole's Cottage - Private Parking, Sea Views, Garden & Close To Harbour & Beach

*Welcome To Carole’s Cottage*

As you step through the charming entrance, you’ll feel the warmth of a bygone era embrace you. This beautifully restored 1840s, Grade II listed gem, marries timeless character with modern comforts, ensuring you have a delightful retreat whether you're here for a long weekend getaway or an extended stay. The original slate front, a rare piece of history, is a testament to the cottage's rich heritage, providing a unique snapshot of village life long ago.

The stone-built cottage boasts features including a fully equipped, farmhouse style, kitchen with four ring gas hob, double oven/grill, dishwasher, washing machine and fridge/freezer. There are two spacious reception rooms enjoying a SMART TV, feature gas fire and access to complimentary 300MB ultrafast WIFI. Upstairs there are two comfortable bedrooms (one double with sea views and one twin with village views) and a luxury fully fitted shower room. The courtyard and garden can be accessed via the traditional stable kitchen door and are completely enclosed and private. This provides the perfect place to unwind, read a book or to enjoy the Cornish summer sun with alfresco dining. Private allocated parking for two vehicles is situated directly to the front of the cottage. Should you wish to leave the car at home then Charlestown itself is well connected by public transport.

When you are ready to venture out the harbour, eateries, beaches and coastal paths are just a stone’s throw away ready and waiting to be explored. Further afield and within a short drive are some must see Cornish attractions which include the world-famous Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan amongst many others.

About the host

Hosted by Carole Cleave

Host profile image
We live two miles away in St. Austell and have owned this cottage for 23 years. We rebuilt it with love and care over a long period and tried to retain all its traditional feel. One day we hope to move into it and so we did it up with that in mind rather than as a holiday let. You will find some quirky features which reflect the love we have for the cottage. Our three grown up children all live and work locally. We clean the cottage ourselves and are on hand should there be problems.

Why they chose this property

We own this pair of semi detached cottages. Originally we bought number 24, next door, on impulse after a chance viewing - we were not looking for something to buy. The quiet setting seemed just magical, even though the harbour was just a stone throw away. Guests seem to find it the same. We completely renovated the property over too many years for any economic sense. Many people return year on year. Mona Hurley lived next door in number 23 and we became great friends. She was in her late eighties and had no inside loo. In time we approached her and her landlords and managed to buy her house and on day one put a loo in the back bedroom which delighted her as she "would never need her whatnot again" Mona lived to 94 and we then started another long renovation journey. Enjoy them.
