Tregonhawke Farmhouse, Cornwall

A ten minute lane walk from Millbrook and from the big sandy beach at Whitsand Bay via a cliff path is Tregonhawke Farmhouse, the origins of which go back to the 16th cent. It is set over two levels and has been a family home for generations surviving much turbulent history. Enter from the garden through the porch, kicking off your coats and boots as you go into the big fitted farmhouse kitchen with table, chairs and benches in the middle; walk through to the equally big living room with wood burner and then across a slate-floored hall to a second sitting room with TV. This room leads through to a double bedroom with door to garden. At ground level is a shower-room and separate toilet. Head up the stairs to five more bedrooms – a double with a single, a double, a twin with low door lintel, another twin, and a single – all very individual and prettily done. Two family bathrooms. To one side is a very pretty, enclosed garden with large lawn, garden furniture and BBQ. Mature trees and farmland surround it and about a three minutes walk away there is a coarse fishing lake (carp, tench, roach, rudd, bream and perch – some as large as 25lbs!). Absolutely great for large family group or groups of friends.
