Sunnyside Barn

A 3-bedroom barn conversion in the hamlet of Penstraze near Chacewater, sleeping 6 with 3 en-suite bathrooms. The building has original oak doors, exposed beams, and slate window sills. Features include a wood burner, BBQ, enclosed garden, dishwasher, and washing machine. Note: no on-site parking and no Wi-Fi at this property.

Chacewater sits inland between Truro and Redruth, roughly 6km from the north coast. Trevaunance Cove at St Agnes is 6.1km - a surfable beach with a pub and cafe at the top of the slipway. Trevellas Cove is 6.2km - a narrower, rockier inlet popular with kayakers. Perranporth Beach, one of the longest sandy beaches in Cornwall at 3km, is 8.3km. Truro city centre, with its cathedral and main shopping streets, is about 8km south.

This property suits a group of 6 who want a higher-spec inland base - three en-suites makes it workable for friends rather than just families. Good for those who don't need Wi-Fi and have a car for reaching the coast. Not great for guests who need parking at the property itself or those travelling without a vehicle. Available through Cornwall Hideaways and Rural Retreats. 3 reviews so far.

The 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom layout at Penstraze gives each bedroom its own en-suite - a configuration more common in larger or higher-priced properties. The wood burner, BBQ, and enclosed garden cover most evening scenarios. Chacewater is within 2km and has a pub and a small shop for basics.
