Striking interiors and a secluded location add to the sanctuary-like feel of this stone-built annexe. Perfect for a countryside-loving couple, it offers access to 17.5 acres of land where you can walk to lakes, unwind in a summerhouse and even enjoy a pedalo ride.
There’s a real sense of otherworldliness at this character-filled cottage, where two people can enjoy downtime amid acres of rolling countryside. An annexe to the owner’s home, the property features a bold colour palette and distinctive design details, its open-plan living space dominated by a huge open fire and fully glazed doors to the grounds beyond. A kitchen and dining area to one end set the scene for fine dining a deux; afterwards, you can move into the lounge area and stretch out on the large sofa, settle down for a movie or perfect your gaming skills on the PlayStation. When bed beckons, head upstairs to a grand mezzanine level where there’s an inviting double bed and a wet room. The outdoor living space here is extensive, starting with a seating area where there’s a BBQ and a pizza oven. Guests are welcome to explore acres of grounds – the River Tiddy runs through them and there are two lakes, a summerhouse and a picnic area to enjoy. Pedalos offer the chance for a spot of messing about on the water, and there’s lots of local wildlife to watch out for; the secluded setting also makes this a great place for stargazing.
This cottage is close to the ancient villages of Menheniot and Quethiock, while beautiful Liskeard (6 miles) is home to original Victorian shop fronts, an iconic Guildhall and many modern facilities. Enjoy a 9-mile ride on the scenic Looe Valley Line from here to the vibrant seaside town where you’ll find narrow lanes, quaint independent shops and a lively quayside.
