Home description
The extensive private grounds sweep down to the sandy and protected Porthpean Beach, which is 200 yards from the end of the pretty garden. The house sits opposite the tiny Cornish church of St. Levans and conveys an atmosphere of tranquillity and peace. There are two large sitting rooms, both with bay windows to enjoy the stunning sea views. There are seven bedrooms, two of which are on the ground floor, and which can be partially self contained with an additional kitchenette making the house accessible for people with walking difficulties. The house is perfectly situated for visits to the Eden Project, Heligan Gardens and other attractions in Cornwall. There are many sandy beaches to choose from with shrimping and rock pools or take a walk along the South Cornwall Coastal path or just sit and relax watching the tall ships from Charlestown harbour and the sailing dinghies in the bay. Shops 1.5 km, pub 1.5 km.

The West Country / Cornwall region
Cornwall is the land of myth, magic, saints, smugglers, King Arthur and the evident history of the tin miners who first brought prosperity to the region. Cornwall is now a land of rural beauty, scenic coastline, and a great holiday desination. Apart from holiday visitors, it has attracted painters, artists, and crafts folk as well as organic food producers who take a pride in the qualifty of food. The countryside features reminders of ancient history, with standing stones, atmospheric moorlands, gardens and tourist friendly activities. North Cornwall (a short drive away) has stunning and dramatic surfing beaches, very popular with kids and young adults. South Cornwall has a milder and gentler climate. The South Cornwall Coastal walk (153 miles from Land's End to Plymouth!) runs beside the property and provides breathtaking views of the area. The climate suits itself to garden visits at all times of the year. The famous Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project are close by, as well as many others. Cornwall is very child-friendly and proves many attractions for children. For futher information, log on to Cornwall Tourist Board and Wikipedia are very helpful websites.
