2 The Cottages

The pretty stone-built village of Ludgvan on the scenic Penwith Peninsula, 3 miles from Penzance, and 5 miles from St Ives really is ideally positioned for a Cornish holiday. On the edge of the village, a few yards from the church and 150 yards from the pub, is this terraced 18th-century cottage. Lovingly restored to preserve its original charm, there's masses of character and wooden floors downstairs. There's a cosy sitting room with an open fireplace and an electric wood burning stove for instant heat. There is also a neat dining area. On the first floor are two bedrooms, a double and an adult sized bunk room. They share a family bathroom. Outside, the terraced garden sits over two levels and has shrubs, a patio with picnic table and far-reaching views to St Michaels Mount and Mounts Bay. Ideal for exploring some of Cornwall's most popular towns. A 2 minute drive or a 20 minute walk along a footpath takes you to Marazion beach, to swim, paddle or stroll along the seafront promenade. Take in views of the bay and St Michaels Mount at Penzance or visit the National Trust gardens of Trengwainton and the pretty harbour village of Mousehole. St Ives has some of the finest beaches in the UK as well as art galleries and interesting shops, and Lands End is within an easy drive. No 2, The Cottages makes a great base for exploring this popular part of Cornwall. EPC Rating: Band E. Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
