Ruby Farm Cottage, Porkellis welcomes you with light-filled spaces and traditional granite charm. The spacious kitchen comes fully equipped with a gas oven and hob, microwave, fridge / freezer, dishwasher, and washer / dryer, providing everything needed for family meals around the dining table. The bright lounge features comfortable sofas arranged before a Freeview TV, whilst a beautiful floor-to-ceiling picture window floods the room with natural light, and a feature fireplace adds character and warmth.
Step outside, where a sunny patio area invites alfresco dining with a barbecue and seating, while stone steps lead to a hidden secret garden waiting to be discovered. Three bedrooms provide restful accommodation: the master double room benefits from an en-suite shower room, the twin room includes space for a full-sized cot, and a single room completes the sleeping arrangements. A family bathroom with bath serves the household. Private off-road parking for two cars ensures convenient arrival, though please note the cottage is accessed via uneven granite steps.
Imagine lazy mornings on the sunny patio, coffee in hand as birdsong fills the air, your dogs padding contentedly around the secret garden. Spend days exploring coastal paths and hidden coves, then return to your peaceful hamlet retreat. As dusk settles, gather around the dining table sharing stories of the day's adventures, or sink into those comfy sofas while the fireplace glows warmly.
