About this property

Tranquil setting near sea

Fuchsia cottage is detached and situated in a rural setting in an area of outstanding natural beauty. It sits off the beaten track close to the villages of Manacaan and St Keverne. A perfect place to hide away and yet positioned to explore the coast. The hidden coves, beaches and fishing villages of the Lizard and Helford River are within walking distance. It has a large, private, south facing garden. A wonderful base.

Step into a large garden full of bird life. Look up at the majesty of countless stars at night - there is no light pollution. Walk the coast path with stunning views over Falmouth Bay. Visit the quiet wooded creeks of the Helford estuary. Visit the UK's most southerly point and coastal beauty spots such as Kynance cove. Visit St Michaels's Mount, St Ives, Falmouth and Penzance, all within easy reach. This is an exceptional light and warm property, in a green and pleasant location. Gorgeous!

Good location / amazing internal decor and garden

Internal decor and garden were amazing. Information provided by the owner was detailed and useful. Maps and guide books were excellent. Instructions on location were excellent, access is down narrow lanes so photos of road junctions enabled us to drive straight there. The lane to the house is rocky and rough as described but you can park up and walk down to the house. Lovely walks to the coast path direct from the house. Communication with the owner is quick and helpful. The little extras left for us were very tasty.
