Orchard Cottage Verified listing

Nestled just moments from the historic harbour of Charlestown – a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its tall ships and cobbled streets – Orchard Cottage is a picture-perfect Cornish escape. Recently renovated to an exceptional standard, this two-bedroom cottage blends its original charm with all the contemporary touches you could wish for. With beaches, scenic walks, and iconic attractions like the Eden Project just moments away, it’s a characterful retreat for couples or small families (plus four-legged friends, too).

Step through the traditional stable door into a home brimming with cosy nooks and thoughtful design. To the right, a welcoming open-plan living and dining room sets the tone, with exposed beams, plush seating and a wood-burning stove to hunker down beside. A round wooden dining table comfortably seats four, while tech lovers will appreciate the 43-inch Samsung The Frame Smart TV, loaded with Sky, Sky Sports, Netflix and Amazon, plus a RUARK Bluetooth speaker for setting the perfect mood.

The adjoining country kitchen is beautifully finished, complete with a traditional Rayburn, Belfast sink, chunky wooden worktops and a suite of integrated appliances including a Neff dishwasher and microwave. A separate utility space houses a freezer and washing machine, keeping everyday essentials tucked out of sight. An Apple HomePod adds a soundtrack to your cooking.

Beyond, a charming second snug offers a private space to unwind, also with a wood burner, Smart TV, deep sofa and bench seating. There's also a tucked-away workstation with monitor, keyboard and mouse – ideal if work calls during your stay.

Upstairs, you’ll find two double bedrooms, each bathed in natural light and styled in calming neutral tones with elegant furnishings, built-in wardrobes, and decorative original fireplaces. Plantation shutters ensure a restful night’s sleep, and the master bedroom enjoys the luxury of an en-suite with walk-in shower, WC and heated towel rail. A spacious family bathroom with bath and overhead electric shower, WC and heated towel rail completes the first floor.

Outside, Orchard Cottage lives up to its name, with a generous rear garden bordered by lush greenery and overlooking open countryside – home to a few neighbouring sheep! A lovely spot for dogs to stretch their legs or for you to simply enjoy the view with a morning coffee. The garden is furnished with an outdoor dining set and BBQ – perfect for alfresco evenings under the Cornish sun.

With parking for two cars and a footpath leading directly from the property to Charlestown’s historic harbour, this cottage is superbly placed for coastal adventures. Duporth and Porthpean beaches are within walking distance, while Mevagissey, Fowey and the Eden Project are just a short drive away.

Orchard Cottage is a magical blend of heritage, comfort and location – a true gem for your next Cornish escape.
