The ‘Water Hole’ can be found along 'The Tinners Way' with only a handful of other houses and lies just over a mile south of Zennor. Dating back approx 150 years the property has formally been known as 'Two Sisters Cottage' and 'The Old Shop'. An ideal lifestyle opportunity this property is a great self sufficient smallholding benefiting from solar panels and circa 5 acres of mature south facing gardens, and woodlands. The paddocks would be great for horses, goats or poultry. Also within the grounds is a beautiful purpose built studio, a greenhouse, vegetable garden and polytunnel which would be useful for growing vegetables/plants. There is a pretty stream running throughout which makes this setting truly idyllic.
The charming accommodation has been sympathetically renovated and is a warm, inviting space, especially the large open plan kitchen/diningroom/livingroom with solid wood floors and AGA. Slate flagstones, a stone fireplace and woodburner add to a traditional feel.

Zennor lies on the Cornish Heritage Coast which is on the South West Coastal Path and is conveniently on a main bus route. It is a small village, steeped in history and set amid fabulous coastal scenery with a C13 Church and the renowned 'Tinner’s’ pub. The village once played host to Dylan Thomas and D.H.Lawrence.

Outside
There is gate access to plenty of parking which then flows into the surrounding gardens. On one side of the house there is a field which has chicken runs, wood store and woodshed, a polytunnel and a mower shed at the top end. Further down has been planted with trees and fruit and here you will find a secluded fire pit area and the Studio with a patio on the south side and hardstanding for cars on the north. Over the bridge and take the right path, there is a Rowan avenue leading to a very peaceful clearing surrounded by native trees. Take the left path and you find a well-tended wooden fenced vegetable patch and a beautiful Victorian style wooden greenhouse and tool shed. Take the path straight on and oak trees flank the way which takes you up to the paddocks.

Outside cont
There are two paddocks, an area over two acres, fully fenced, with water and electric and space for stabling making this potentially a great equestrian opportunity. There are paths back to the house from both fields and also double gates giving access onto the lane. A small boggy area, formally a China clay pit has been deliberately left in the past 25yrs to re-wild. The rest of the garden is naturally divided into 'rooms' offering wildflower areas, a yew maze, mown lawns and the apple orchard. The stream meanders throughout the gardens with five bridges taking you across from area to area.This is a gardener or naturalists paradise and whilst the present owner has spent 10 years creating this haven, it holds so much more potential for the creative eye.
