Charming 17th century thatched cottage on lane leading to the beach from the centre of Crantock.

Description

In the front room it is easy to believe that the cottage dates from just before 1700, with its beamed ceiling and shuttered window, though the modern log burner and space for large sofas give it contemporary comfort.

Pass through the snug, ideal for TV/ large screen viewing, to the kitchen where an electric AGA and bespoke, handmade fittings add to the impression of high-quality renovation. Two bay windows and a glass door allow a great deal of light into this space, large enough for a family sized dining table and plenty of storage. A bay window seat makes the most of the view across the garden.

A short passage leads off the kitchen to the front room and passes the modern shower room.

Upstairs are four bedrooms: first, a double room overlooking the front garden, with an attractive alcove, adjacent to which is a larger bedroom with dual aspect, looking frontwards and towards the village green. There is a feature porthole window above the king size bed.

Across the landing is a compact bedroom, with a single bed fitted cosily into the under-eave space and a wide window to the rear garden. The vaulted ceiling in the window bay gives a good sense of space, despite this being a single room.

Similarly, the adjoining bedroom, currently with bunk beds, is a bright room. Each bedroom has wooden floors, beamed ceilings, and wooden shutters.

There is a good-sized modern bathroom with a deep bath and another feature porthole window.
Throughout the cottage, background heat is provided by electric radiators and underfloor heating.

Outside
The front garden is paved and has a slate outhouse, useful as a wood store. The rear garden is lawned, with well-kept borders and block paved path from the rear door. There is a capped stone well and more luxuriously, a hot tub and shower secluded by a high wooden fence that encloses the garden and the paved parking space. There is a sizable, secure garden shed.

Beyond the car park space Penlyn has right of access across the Old Albion Inn’s parking area. There is also a right of access along the neighbouring drive to the rear garden.

Location

Crantock is a picturesque village with a stunning sandy beach, just over the hill and across the River Gannel from Newquay.

Voted Best British Beach by BBC Coast 2013, Crantock Beach is a popular surf break and with footpaths across the extensive sand dunes is perfect for walking to neighbouring bays. The beach has lifeguards from May to the end of September and dogs are allowed all year round.

The village has a range of shops, including convenience grocery stores and a surf shop, and there is a cafe on the Newquay side of the river, reached via a foot ferry that operates during the summer months. The historic Old Albion Inn beside the church lychgate and The Bowgie, high on the cliff overlooking the western side of the estuary, are both very popular with locals and visitors throughout the year.

Crantock has a nursery school, with primary and secondary schools and a Cornwall College located in nearby Newquay.

Penlyn’s location could hardly be bettered, situated just off the village green, alongside Beach Road and opposite (at the rear) The Old Albion Inn.

A branch line rail link runs from Newquay to Truro where there is a mainline rail service to London Paddington. Cornwall Airport Newquay has regular flights to London as well as other domestic and international destinations.

Square Footage: 1,466 sq ft
