Entered through a small porch with coat pegs which leads into a little hallway wide, rather steep stairs ahead, the cottage has a light, low beamed sitting room on one side. On the other side a beamed kitchen dining room has fitted units and electric cooker. Upstairs is a shower room WC with walk in shower and two bedrooms with twin and a king size double beds respectively. The nearby village of Gerrans is just a couple of miles away and has a super pub and most famously, its ancient church, St Gerrans. The local area to Crotchet Cottage has lovely coastal and rural walks with the pretty coastal fishing village, Portscatho just under 3 miles from Crotchet. Portscatho has a selection (some may be seasonal) of pubs, cafes and shops to cater for your holiday needs as well as a beach (part rock and sand).Tucked to one side of a large farmhouse the cottages are reached from an unmade track (where there is room to park) and a short path which leads to a wall and gate at the end of the row. There are open plan gardens to the front and service areas to the rear but each has its own spacious main garden reached by a few steps at the further end of the row about 75 yards away. Crotchet has a large lawn, drying area and lovely wide views of the countryside and sea beyond. Towan beach about 3/4 mile down the lane has a National Trust car park and easy access by a sloping path.
