About this property
Dolphin Cottage - a charming Grade II listed barn conversion in Charlestown
Surrounded by beautiful Cornish countryside, Dolphin Cottage is only a minutes walk away from the main harbour of Charlestown. It is approached by a private driveway which leads to Polmear Farm and where allocated parking is available, including EV charger. The cottage itself is at the end of what was the original cattle barn when it was a working farm and can sleep up to six people. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a spacious hallway leading to the main bathroom and two bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room. At the far end of the barn is the open plan living/dining and well equipped kitchen area, exposing beautiful beamed ceilings. From here, guests can open doors onto what can only be described as the most stunning and spacious conservatory. A built in shrubbery area aligns the inside conservatory wall housing Mediterranean type plants and lighting giving a warm, Spanish feel. The main dining table and a cosy sofa are also within this room and is perfect for enjoying the surrounding views of lush lawns and breath taking views. Outside the front of Dolphin Cottage is a lawn area and private garden seating with dining furniture, parasol and BBQ - perfect for alfresco dining on a Summer's evening.
