Hollow Tree Cottage, Cambrose is a characterful three-bedroom retreat nestled in peaceful Cornish countryside, just three kilometres from the sandy beaches of Porthtowan and Portreath. The well-equipped kitchen features an electric double oven, electric hob, washing machine, and ample space for family meal preparation, flowing naturally into the dining room where exposed beams and stone walls frame a deep hearth with wood burner. The spacious lounge welcomes you with large comfortable sofas, another inviting log burner, and a Smart TV, whilst French doors from the ground-floor double bedroom open directly onto the rear garden.
Step outside to discover two distinct garden spaces: the enclosed front garden offers a manicured lawn, mature climbing wisteria, sunny patio seating, and a fish pond home to Koi and goldfish, whilst the rear elevation features a raised seating area beside a water feature, leading down steps to a secluded lawn with picnic table. Upstairs, the king-size bedroom enjoys tranquil countryside views, whilst the flexible twin bedroom (which can convert to super-king-size on request) offers equally beautiful distant vistas and exposed wood flooring. A contemporary family bathroom with shower over bath completes the layout, and there's driveway parking for three cars.
Picture crisp mornings with coffee on the elevated rear terrace, the gentle sound of the water feature mingling with birdsong drifting across open fields. Spend days exploring the Coast to Coast mining trail (just 50 metres away), cycling to sandy beaches or wandering through countryside where remnants of Cornwall's mining heritage rise dramatically from the landscape. As evening settles, gather round the log burner's glow, windows framing darkening skies, and toast another perfect day in this timeless cottage.
