A quirky Grade II listed coach house conversion tucked in Canonstown, midway between Penzance and St Ives. The cottage combines original character — exposed beams, slate-hung frontage and sliding sash windows — with modern comforts such as gas central heating and double glazing. The open-plan ground floor feels light and connects directly to an enclosed front garden through French doors.
The property is compact but practical: two first-floor bedrooms enjoy countryside views, there is a separate utility room and off-street parking for several vehicles. At about 743 sq ft on a small plot, this is a low-maintenance village retreat well suited to a downsizer or couple wanting a characterful base near coast and A30 links.
Notable practical points: the cottage is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance; the EPC rating is E so heating costs may be higher than modern standards. The kitchen and some internal fittings are dated and present clear scope for updating. Broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect home working; mobile signal is good.
Overall, the house offers immediate charm and comfortable living with potential to improve energy efficiency and modernise finishes. Buyers should factor listed-building constraints and upgrade costs into their plans, but those seeking a rural character cottage close to coastal towns will find genuine appeal here.
