Situation - Off Church Lane, Christmas Cottage is well located being away from the general "hustle and bustle" of the village, yet is only about 500 yards walk to the inner harbour and centre of Mevagissey. The historic fishing village of Mevagissey, which is still a working fishing village, is renowned for its picturesque myriad of narrow streets around the inner and outer harbours, around which there are numerous public houses, cafes, restaurants, gift and everyday shops.
The area is renowned for its attractive coastline and walks along the South West Coast Footpath as well as sandy beaches at Pentewan, Porthpean, Gorran Haven, Vault and Caerhayes.
The market town of St Austell is about 5 miles to the north and offers a more comprehensive range of shopping, schooling and social facilities and amenities and there is a mainline railway station on the London Paddington line. The cathedral city of Truro, being the retail and commercial centre of Cornwall, is about 17 miles to the east and Newquay Airport is about 20 miles.
The Residence - The accommodation to Christmas Cottage is delightfully presented to the market. The property is approached from Church Lane via a pedestrian door which opens to an enclosed Store Area (which has previously been used in the past as a Car Port) and from which a roller door at the rear opens to an enclosed garden. This area provides useful storage for bikes, kayaks and other watersports equipment and includes a Cupboard.
