FAIRHAVEN
This is a traditional, old Cornish miner's cottage within the beautiful, rural hamlet of Cripplesease, with extensive views over rolling countryside. It is perfectly located for the south west, being just 3 miles from St Ives and 4 miles from Penzance. An ideal base for walkers, surfers and cyclists or anyone wanting to get away from it all. It's just 2 minutes walk to the great local pub, the Engine Inn. The detached cottage sits in it's own lawned gardens, one of which is gated. There is easy access to the road that goes to St Ives and Penzance.
ABOUT THE OWNER
