Buzzards Cottage, Redruth welcomes you into a warm hallway with space to hang up coats and boots after muddy walks. Step through to the open-plan kitchen, lounge and diner, the true heart of this home, where the kitchen area is fully equipped for whipping up a quick picnic lunch or a hearty evening meal, and the dining table offers plenty of room for the whole family to gather. Relax on one of the comfy sofas to catch up on your favourite boxset on the Smart TV, while the wood burner crackles away, filling the room with a cosy glow on cooler evenings.
Step outside to a private terrace, perfect for alfresco dining with the charcoal barbecue sizzling away, and beyond this, extensive lawned gardens with a second seating area where children can play safely while you unwind. Back inside, the spacious double bedroom is tastefully furnished with plenty of storage, while the bunk bedroom is ideal for children or younger guests. A stylish family bathroom, with shower over the bath, completes the layout. Driveway parking for three cars makes arriving with all your holiday luggage, plus the dog, wonderfully easy.
Imagine evenings spent beside the wood burner, dog curled at your feet, after a day spent exploring the coastal paths and mining trails on the doorstep. By day, wander the lawned gardens listening to birdsong, perhaps spotting a deer slipping through the neighbouring woodland. As dusk falls, settle onto the terrace beneath star-filled Cornish skies, the crackle of the barbecue mingling with distant owl calls, memories forming with every relaxed moment.
