About this property
Positioned in the attractive village of Mithian, less than 1.5 miles from St.Agnes, this bijou, passion flower and wisteria covered property is perfectly placed for a romantic retreat within easy reach of Cornwall's fabulous north coast beaches and holiday resorts amidst the rich tapestry of lush countryside.
The studio-style extension to the owners' own residence, a pretty stone cottage, features reversed accommodation offering seclusion and comfort, with your own private gated entrance, accessed via a short flight of steps. The living room is light and airy with large Velux windows and exposed timbers and features a sofa bed to accommodate one child. The small corner patio at the front of the cottage has a table and chairs for two - a lovely spot for enjoying a glass of wine or an afternoon cream tea.
Just paces from the property, the 16th Century Miners Arms inn serves traditional ales and a tempting range of delicious meals. A short drive will take you to the coastal village of St Agnes with its shops and secluded coves of Trevaunance and Chapel Porth, where you can swim and hire surf gear. Explore the magnificent, rugged and unspoilt coastline from the walking distance coastal footpath that weaves its way over the cliff tops. Nearby Perranporth has miles of golden sands attracting surfers and sunbathers. The vibrant seaside resort of Newquay is less than a 30 minute drive away, with wonderful world famous surfing beaches and a myriad of fabulous eateries and bars, cafes and pubs for all tastes.
The cathedral city of Truro lies just eight miles away, whilst The Eden Project, with its giant bio-spheres of flora and fauna from around the globe is just 45 minutes from the property, as is the artist mecca of St Ives; a picturesque haven of harbour and sheltered beach, with narrow lanes of galleries, gift shops and an abundance of waterside restaurants and inns.
St Agnes is a thriving picturesque village on the Cornish coast, with four beaches on the doorstep and surrounded by wonderful countryside. Swim or surf in the clear waters, walk the footpaths and bridleways or hop onto the South West Coast Path.

A pub, the Miners Arms was a stones throw away and served good food. Close to St Agnes and its lovely beaches. There was good walking along the nearby coastal paths and the property was conveniently located so that it was easy to reach the South Coast and St Ives. I would highly recommend it as a base for exploring the area.
