A really charming and pretty terraced tin miner’s cottage that nestles in a row of similar properties with distant sea views from every room over the surrounding farmland.
Dating back to early Victorian times, this traditional granite cottage has recently been renovated to provide an extremely comfortable and surprisingly spacious family holiday home complete with period furniture and lighting. The major benefit of this lovely cottage – and there are many! - is it’s central location being only three miles from St. Just, seven miles to the fabulous blue flag beach at Sennen Cove and twelve miles in the opposite direction to the artist’s colony of St. Ives.
Furthermore, Grenfell’s is a short stroll to the Levant Mine which is perched on the mighty granite cliffs overlooking the Atlantic and houses one of the oldest working beam engines in Cornwall. Operated by the National Trust, The old mine workings have been very well preserved and the huge Beam Engine is fired up several times a week and is a real treat for the family.
Less than a mile down the main North Coast road is the famous Geevor Mine, the last working tin mine in the area and now a heritage Museum and The Pendeen lighthouse is just a little further on.
The surrounding area has recently been classed as a world heritage site by UNESCO and the cliff top walking and scenery is literally breathtaking. Locally, ‘Grenfells’ is within easy walking distance from a pretty tea room, The ‘Field House Restaurant’ (open Thursday and Fridays pm), the Trewellard Meadery and two local pubs. The nearest, the family friendly ‘Trewellard Arms’ prides itself on competitively priced, quality home cooking and real ales.
Everything is in walking distance from the cottage and so no driving! – Grenfell’s is a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.
