Discover historic charm and coastal adventures in this enchanting Cornish retreat

The Old Sunday School, St Just, is a beautifully restored two-bedroom property where historic character meets contemporary comfort. The bespoke kitchen is fully equipped with a gas hob, electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, and fridge / freezer, alongside a dining table perfect for leisurely breakfasts together. The inviting open-plan lounge features a comfortable corner sofa and Smart TV, whilst a warming wood burner creates the perfect ambience for cosy evenings. A handy utility room houses a washing machine and tumble dryer, with a ground-floor WC completing this level.

Venture upstairs to discover two beautifully appointed bedrooms—a king-size and a double—each showcasing glorious arched doorways, exposed beams, and built-in wardrobes. Outside, the picture-perfect cottage garden enchants with mature shrubs, meandering pathways, and various terraces leading to a charming summerhouse. Gather around the table and chairs for alfresco dining with the gas BBQ, whilst taking in views across the surrounding farmland. The family bathroom boasts a separate rainfall shower and a luxurious bath, ideal for unwinding after exploring Cornwall's treasures.

Imagine waking to birdsong drifting through those arched bedroom windows, brewing fresh coffee in your stylish kitchen, then stepping into the garden with its secret terraces. Spend sunny afternoons reading in the summerhouse, evenings gathered around the wood burner sharing the day's discoveries, and nights under starlit Cornish skies. This is where memories are woven into every moment.

The Old Sunday School, St Just, is perfectly positioned to explore Cornwall's captivating coastline and cultural treasures. The village itself offers welcoming pubs, local shops, and eateries within walking distance, whilst the dramatic South West Coast Path lies just 15 minutes away on foot. Porthcurno's golden sands and the spectacular Minack Theatre (10 km) offer unforgettable experiences, whilst the historic Botallack mining area provides a glimpse into Cornwall's industrial heritage. Polgoon Vineyard in Penzance (9 km) invites you to sample award-winning wines and ciders amidst beautiful orchards, whilst St Michael's Mount in Marazion (14 km) rises majestically from the sea with its medieval castle and subtropical gardens. Further afield, the King Edward Mine Museum in Camborne (30 km) offers fascinating insights into Cornwall's tin mining past through guided tours and working exhibits.

The elegant cathedral city of Truro (47 km) beckons with its stunning Gothic architecture, the Royal Cornwall Museum showcasing local heritage, and charming streets perfect for browsing independent shops. For family adventures, the Blue Reef Aquarium in Newquay (53 km) delights with interactive exhibits and captivating underwater tunnels.

The historic towns of Penzance (11 km) and artistic St Ives (24 km) are also within easy reach, offering galleries, harbours, and that quintessential Cornish charm. Penzance, with its Georgian and Regency architecture, boasts a bustling harbour and serves as the gateway to the Isles of Scilly. The town's vibrant market and seafront promenade provide perfect spots for leisurely exploration. St Ives, a 24-kilometre drive away, captivates visitors with its winding cobbled streets, world-renowned Tate St Ives gallery, and stunning sandy beaches. Both destinations offer excellent restaurants serving fresh local seafood, independent shops, and that magical atmosphere that makes Cornwall so beloved by holidaymakers.
