A waterside retreat in an AONB, this detached double glazed cottage is a delight for nature lovers. Quiet and secluded, it sits on the banks of a tidal creek with views over it to oak woodland and fields beyond. The area has an abundance of birds and wildlife. For further details of this nature haven please visit Kingsmill Farm Cottage. Approached via a private drive shared with the owners, the garden gate opens on to a large patio with raised fish pond and flower beds. The front door leads into a small lobby. An inner door leads to a light, airy dual-aspect living room with French doors opening on to the patio and garden, with views over the creek. A fitted kitchen runs along one wall, and there are comfortable dining and sitting areas with a quarry tiled floor. At the far end, one step leads to a double bedded room with views of the river and forest, and a bathroom W. C. with wash basin and bath with hand shower attachment. From the living room carpeted stairs lead up to two bedrooms and a shower room W. C. with hand basin and double width shower. The large bedroom has a 5ft double bed
and views over the creek and forest. The smaller bedroom has two single beds and a window looking over a pretty fountain, the river and forest. The garden, with lawn, flower beds and barbecue area, is stock fenced, but the proximity of water and wildlife may make it unsuitable for toddlers. Dogs must be kept under control. Hatt , 1 mile away, has a garage, post office and small shop and there are two village pubs within a 10 minute drive. There are two golf courses including the famous St Mellion (handicap required), yacht clubs and canoeing within a few minutes drive. There is horse riding, walking, and beautiful gardens to visit, and the beaches of Seaton and Whitsand Bay are about 30 minutes drive, as is the historic city of Plymouth with numerous attractions including Europe's largest marine aquarium. Please note: Towels are available at £1 per towel per week to be paid on arrival.
