Roosters Retreat Description

Just a ten minute drive from the picturesque coastal villages of Lamorna, Mousehole and Newlyn, this beautifully presented, single storey granite barn conversion is set in the peaceful tiny hamlet of Kemyel Wartha with views over farmland to the sea in the distance.

Furnished to a high standard, this semi-detached double glazed former stable is set to one side of the owners 19th century barn in an area of outstanding natural beauty and offers comfortable accommodation for couples or small families wishing to explore West Cornwall.

Approached by a long unmade track and gated gravel driveway where there is ample parking space, a side gate and path lead round to the rear of the property where there is a private and enclosed patio garden with a wooden sun deck and sheltered barbecue area. The back door opens directly into a small lobby and to one side is a well equipped country kitchen with pine fitted units, a quarry tiled floor and tranquil views of the terrace.

An open doorway leads through to a delightful warm and cosy sitting/dining room in a restful decor with a beamed ceiling open to the apex of the roof, deep piled rugs on the pine floor and comfortable leather seating facing the multi fuel stove. An inner hallway gives access to two bedrooms both with exposed cross beams and views across the countryside towards the sea.

There is an attractive double bedroom, and at the end of the hall, one step continues up to the modest sized second bedroom with two 3ft single beds. To complete the accommodation, one step leads up to a bathroom W.C. with hand basin, heated towel rail and shower over the bath. Visitors are welcome to enjoy the adjacent grassy paddock with children’s play area and home to the owner’s ponies, rabbits and free range chickens.

Pets are welcome but dogs will need to be kept under control as the surrounding fields are part of the St Aubyn Estate and may contain livestock. There is an abundance of beautiful coastal paths and inland walks with breathtaking scenery close by and Lamorna Cove, which has a seasonal café, The Wink pub and a small sandy beach at low tide is just under 2 miles by road or a 15 minute walk by footpath.

The historic fishing village of Mousehole can be reached in 10 minutes by car or a pleasant 30 minute walk across the fields and Penzance is a 15 minute drive with a wide selection of amenities including ferry services to The Isles of Scilly. It is also an excellent base for exploring West Penwith with St Michael's Mount at Marazion, Porthcurno home to the Minack Theatre and the surfing beach at Sennen Cove all less than 10 miles respectively.
