Bella's Place, Ponsanooth is a unique timber-clad apartment, perfectly designed for couples seeking a tranquil Cornish escape. Climb the external spiral staircase of sixteen steps to discover a glass-framed lounge, where large glass doors open into an inviting open-plan interior. Here, the galley kitchen with a two-ring gas hob, built-in microwave and fridge sits alongside a cosy living area complete with TV, DVD player and iPod dock, perfect for relaxed evenings after a day of coastal exploring.
Step outside onto the private balcony, where extensive views stretch across rolling fields and woodland, an idyllic spot for al fresco dining or a glass of wine as the sun sets. Below, you'll find a decked area with bistro table and chairs, plus a generous shared lawn and field where Bella, the owner's friendly small dog, may wander by to say hello. The comfortable double bed sits within the open-plan living space, while a shower room with WC completes the bijou accommodation. Private parking for two cars is provided, just steps from the staircase.
Picture mornings spent on the balcony, coffee in hand, watching mist lift from the surrounding fields while birdsong fills the air. Days drift by exploring Cornwall's coastline and countryside, from sandy beaches to bustling harbour towns, before returning to this peaceful retreat for a relaxed evening meal under the stars. As dusk falls, settle into the cosy living area, perhaps with Bella trotting across the lawn below, for a perfect end to a Cornish day.
