Key details

More about Barkla Cottage

A comfortable semi detached period cottage located within the small hamlet of Barkla Shop only a 5 minute drive from the sandy beach at Trevaunance Cove.  Set to one side of the main coast road between St Agnes and Perranporth on the dramatic North Cornish coastline, just 1 mile east of St Agnes and 3 miles from the popular holiday resort of Perranporth. 

This recently extended early 19th century double glazed cottage retains much of the original style and romance of those times along with the modern amenities of present day.  Entered from the open gravel driveway where there is parking for 2 cars, five steps lead up through a little hedged and gated garden to the front door which opens directly into a spacious living room with a low beamed ceiling, some exposed stonework and comfortable lounge seating. 

To one side of the lounge, two shallow steps lead down to a newly fitted kitchen/breakfast room with dining table and chairs and a half glazed door opens to the garden and parking area which can be seen from the kitchen windows.  In one corner of the lounge, carpeted stairs wind up to the first floor landing where there are three attractive bedrooms and a family bathroom W.C. with wash basin and bath with hand shower attachment. 

The master bedroom has a 5ft double bed with countryside views from dual aspect windows and an en-suite shower room W.C. with hand basin, there is a twin bedded room and the third smaller bedroom has a single bed set beneath a sloping ceiling with restricted headroom.  There are wall mounted thermostatically controlled electric radiators in every room. 

There is a small lawned area to the side of the property overlooking the neighbouring fields - children and pets must be supervised at all times as the garden is not enclosed, and there is a garden shed with recycling facilities.  The nearby village of Mithian, half a mile, has a traditional 16th century pub and there is a good selection of local shops, pubs and restaurants in the picturesque village of St Agnes 1 mile away. 

Trevaunance Cove is the nearest sandy beach popular with surfers which is 1.5 miles by road or can be reached by footpath across fields, the NT beach of Chapel Porth is 2.5 miles and there is a wide range of activities and a three mile stretch of golden sand in Perranporth a 10 minute drive.  There are dramatic coastal walks nearby and this is an ideal central location for touring the rest of Cornwall.
