Summerhayes

A single-level 2-bedroom bungalow near Illogan, sleeping 4 with 1 bathroom. The layout is all on one floor, which reduces stairs for guests who find steps difficult. The bungalow has a gas fire, enclosed garden, dishwasher, washing machine, Wi-Fi, and parking.

Portreath Beach is 3.1km north - a sandy bay tucked between two headlands with a harbour wall and a surf break on the west side. Tehidy Country Park, 250 acres of mixed woodland managed by Cornwall Council, sits between the bungalow and the coast and provides flat walking routes suitable for pushchairs. Godrevy Beach, with its lighthouse views, is 8.7km. Redruth is under 5km and has a mainline rail station with direct services to London Paddington.

This property suits couples or small families who want a low-maintenance, single-storey base for exploring the north Cornwall coast and mining heritage landscape. Good for those who prefer a quiet residential area rather than a town-centre location. Not great for those expecting sea views or a hot tub - this is a practical bungalow in a rural setting. 37 reviews on Sykes. Saturday changeover.
