Situated a stone's throw from the UNESCO World Heritage site of Charlestown Harbour, this stylish home boasts a location fit for the big screen. With its labyrinth of cobblestone streets and an impressive array of Tall Ships, you might recognise this quaint corner of Cornwall from some swoon-worthy scenes of Poldark. Surrounded by stunning scenery and just a six-minute drive from the bustling town of St Austell, this home provides a tranquil base for exploring the wild, rugged beauty of the South Cornish coast – brooding captain not included. From the offset, this home charms with its peaceful surroundings. You'll find it tucked away in a tangle of cottages and dense foliage, a two-minute stroll from the historic harbour. Inside, stylishly adorned rooms flaunt floods of natural light, while the open-plan design allows the indoor and outdoor spaces to blend seamlessly. Spend mornings roosted in the courtyard garden, tucking into breakfast in the crisp, seaside air, before slipping out for a day at the beach - the secluded sands of Duporth and Porthpean are both less than a five-minute drive away. After busy days exploring, return to the cosy lounge, cloaked in a soothing cerulean hue, to spend evenings curled up... by the warm glow of the wood-burning stove.

We're talking about Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, Poldark and many more. We can see why this UNESCO World Heritage Site is so popular. It's got an enchanting Grade...
