Astrantia Cottage

Astrantia Cottage is a listed detached property on King Street in Lostwithiel, Cornwall's former medieval capital. The town's antique shops and weekly farmers' market are a 2-minute walk from the front door.

Arranged over two floors, the cottage has three bedrooms - a king-size double, a double and a single - with a bathroom upstairs and a separate ground-floor shower room. The sitting room centres on a wood burner, while the dining room features a Rayburn as its focal point. A utility room provides additional storage and a washing machine. Note that beds in two of the bedrooms are accessible from one side only.

An enclosed front garden includes a patio, decked area and lawn with dining furniture and parasol. Parking is limited to on-street spaces on King Street, though the free town car park is roughly 200 yards away. The property involves a slope and steps from the road, so is not suited to those with restricted mobility.

Readymoney Cove, a sheltered sandy beach below Fowey with the ruins of St Catherine's Castle on the headland, is 9km south. Carlyon Bay, a long family-friendly beach near St Austell, is 9.6km away. Restormel Castle and Lanhydrock are both within 3 miles of the town.
