About this property
Traditional Granite detached Cornish miner's cottage nr St Ives Cornwall.
FAIRHAVEN This is a traditional, old Cornish miner's cottage within the beautiful, rural hamlet of Cripplesease, with extensive views over rolling countryside. It is perfectly located for the south west, being just 3 miles from St Ives and 4 miles from Penzance. An ideal base for walkers, surfers and cyclists or anyone wanting to get away from it all. It's just 2 minutes walk to the great local pub, the Engine Inn. The detached cottage sits in it's own lawned gardens, one of which is gated. There is easy access to the road that goes to St Ives and Penzance.
ABOUT THE OWNER As the home of a local, photographic artist, Fairhaven features many examples of his original work. The owner also has a lifetime of local knowledge and experience and would be happy to organise tailor made photographic, walking, surfing and cycling excursions. These can be arranged at time of booking.
IMMEDIATE LOCATION Fairhaven with its panoramic, rural views has immediate access to three footpaths. West Cornwall's inland and coastal paths and beautiful beaches are within easy access. Traditional ales, and good food are served in the Engine Inn, a very short walk away. Beyond the pub lies Gew Mine sitting on the hill top.
GETTING AROUND Fairhaven is on a local bus route. Alternatively, you can walk cross country to Halsetown, where there is a good pub, in approximately 45 minutes. If one walks on for a further 45 minutes you arrive in the beautiful fishing village of St Ives.
