Accommodation overview: Situated in a peaceful valley with views of Mevagissey Bay from the upstairs inverted accommodation, this semi detached double glazed barn conversion, built of local stone and slate, is set above the pretty little coastal village of Pentewan.  The property was once a stable housing the ponies which pulled the cargo from the port to the railway station in St Austell back in the 1800’s when it was a thriving harbour although now just the dock basin remains of the old harbour.

The property is set at the end of a long steep narrow track (no mobile phone signal) that leads to a gravelled parking area with space for one car and the front door opens to an entrance hall with a bathroom W.C. with hand basin and shower over the bath.  There are two ground floor bedrooms, one on either side of the hallway with a double and twin beds respectively, both overlooking the banks of the wooded valley. 

Carpeted stairs lead up to a galleried sitting room on the first floor with exposed beams rising to the apex and pine flooring.  There is a small breakfast suite and comfortable lounge furniture enjoying views down the valley towards the sea from French Windows that open inwards with a Juliette balcony.  To complete the accommodation, leading off to one side is a fully fitted kitchen with dining table and chairs. 

At the far end of the lounge, patio doors open to external timber railed steps which lead down to the front of the property with a small slate paved terrace and a recently grassed area of lawn with restful views towards the coast; the garden is not enclosed and therefore not for adventurous toddlers or pets.  A public bridleway passes directly in front of the property ideal for exercising dogs and it is a 10 minute walk down the hill to the village pub, safe sandy beach and the coastal footpath. 

The Ship Inn, half a mile, is a small friendly pub across the road from the old disused harbour and there is a garage with a store/P.O. three quarters of a mile away.  The working fishing village of Mevagissey is 2.5 miles by road where a seasonal ferry operates to Fowey and for a wide selection of amenities the town of St Austell is 4.5 miles.  Watersports, diving and sailing are available locally, Pentewan Valley cycle hire is nearby, and for garden lovers the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan and Pine Lodge Gardens are all within a 15 minute drive.  There is a bistro and restaurant at Pentewan Sands Holiday Park available to non-residents.
