Wychwood Cottage, Cubert is a beautifully restored 18th Century Grade II Listed cottage offering a perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort. The hand-built kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed to create family feasts, featuring an electric hob and oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and microwave, all while enjoying views of the owner's chickens and ducks wandering through the garden. Step into the cosy open-plan lounge/diner showcasing original character with exposed beams, window seats, and a comfortable sofa perfect for snuggling up to watch your favourite shows on the Smart TV. Outside, discover the enclosed cottage-style courtyard garden with flourishing shrubs and plants in the borders, complete with dining furniture for alfresco meals under star-lit skies.
The cottage boasts a stunning ground floor bathroom featuring a luxurious free-standing bath, separate drench shower, and the indulgence of underfloor heating. Venture upstairs – mind your head! – to find two beautifully appointed bedrooms: a wonderfully spacious double with dual aspect windows bathing the room in natural light, and a stylish twin bedroom overlooking the front garden where you might hear the clip-clop of horses' hooves coming down the lane. Beyond the parking area lies a lovely wild meadow where children and dogs can play freely and visiting birds can be spotted.
Imagine waking to birdsong filtering through centuries-old windows, preparing breakfast with fresh local ingredients as sunlight streams into your rustic kitchen. Spend days exploring nearby golden beaches, returning to rinse sandy wetsuits at the outdoor tap before gathering in the garden for an evening meal as the sun sets. As darkness falls, listen to the peaceful sounds of rural Cornwall while planning tomorrow's coastal adventure.
