In a scenic valley on the edge of a World Heritage site, this modern one-bedroom bungalow boasts the best of one-level living with a picturesque harbourside town nearby. A cosy couple’s bolthole. Midway between the Cathedral City of Truro and the picturesque harbourside town of Falmouth, Ponsanooth, 0.5 miles from the property, is a quiet, small village with a strong community feel. Amidst the ruins of an abandoned gunpowder factory, stroll through dense woodland to discover waterfalls and babbling brooks at Kennall Vale Nature Reserve (1 mile), set on 20 acres along the River Kennall. Enys Gardens, 3.5 miles away, are said to be the oldest gardens in Cornwall, dating back to the 18th century, with the ancient meadow of Parc Lyre alive with a carpet of bluebells.

A beautiful all-glass conservatory sits at the front of the bungalow, featuring plenty of comfortable seating and a TV for the perfect wind space to view some stunning sunsets. French doors at the back of the conservatory open out into an open-plan living, kitchen and dining space, with the living area benefiting from another TV and two comfortable leather recliner chairs. Following the beautiful long window along the wall, you’re met with a contemporary kitchen, with an intimate dining table and chairs nestled next to it for cosy dining experiences. There is also a handy utility room with a washing machine and plenty of storage space. Further into the bungalow, you’ll find a stunning double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, as well as a completely tiled bathroom with a large shower.

Outside the rear of the bungalow, you’ll find a superb private garden with a lawned area, perfectly enclosed by mature hedges and foliage. With views of ten acres of woodland and fields, and even Shire horses, this is the perfect spot for summer evenings or al fresco dining.

Pros: Centrally located, great views, quiet/peaceful. Recliner chairs very good and bed comfortable. Also the best wifi we have ever experienced in a cottage in Cornwall. Cons: Could be cleaner... Also photo's on website deceptive as it is bijou, but big enough for two though. Conservatory is huge and very warm even with a little sunshine, so weRead more didn't spend much time in there. Hide
