Cottage to rent with a log fire / woodburner in Truro (6mls E)

Accommodation details

Set in extensive gardens and grounds, this detached six-bedroom farmhouse will appeal to larger families and groups of friends seeking a comfortable residence from which to explore both Cornwall's north and south coasts. With 5 acres of grounds outside, and spacious reception rooms within, this is a house designed for entertaining: two living rooms are perfect for socialising and spending time together while younger guests can while away the hours in the games room.

The additional kitchen area makes catering for larger parties a dream. Stroll the half-mile to the 17th-century village pub, serving local ales and freshly cooked food or enjoy a picnic among the towering trees of peaceful Ladock Woods. Spend the day exploring the Lost Gardens of Heligan (9 miles), one of the most popular gardens in Cornwall with a tearoom serving produce grown on-site.

Stepping inside your holiday home, you will immediately notice there is ample space for a stress-free, relaxing holiday with family or friends. Definitely the heart of the home, your beautiful kitchen has granite flooring, exposed beams and Aga-style cooker creating a welcoming atmosphere, where you can cook together or keep the chef company whilst enjoying a glass of wine sat at the centrally positioned island.

A second kitchen area with additional oven and fridge/freezers help make your catering simple. Share special meals or perhaps the treats provided in the welcome hamper in the elegant dining room where up to 12 guests can be seated around the large table. Wooden floors and an open fire create a relaxing ambience where you can sit around the table and share stories late into the night.

Light the traditional wood burner in the large sitting room, where adults can relax in each other's company while younger guests retreat to the second lounge to watch TV. Guests of all ages will appreciate the well-equipped games room with pool table, table tennis and table football providing hours of entertainment whatever the weather.

When it's time to retire, there are six well-appointed bedrooms within the property, each individually decorated with wooden floors and Victorian-style cast iron beds. Outside, light the BBQ for a sociable evening meal in the beautiful walled garden or enjoy a drink at the fabulous seating area. Stepping beyond the walled garden, there are 5 aces of lawn gardens with beautifully stocked beds and borders to explore.

There is also a hard tennis court where guests can practise their serve.
