CHARACTER COTTAGE
One of a group of individual attached cottages set in a quiet rural
setting about half a mile from the village.
Of tremendous appeal and larger than at first apparent.

This delightful cottage is very deceptive and an internal viewing is essential. Set in the rural hamlet of Crohans it is one of a nucleus of cottages and with a very limited frontage which belies the extent of the accommodation within. Quarry Cottage is undoubtedly of great age and was once the homestead to a small farm, rumoured to have been thatched. It has two bedrooms and a very generous living area, together with a small garden and garage and whilst ideal as a "lock up and leave" holiday home it is also perfect for a couple looking for peace and quiet and a lovely rural setting.

The hamlet of Crohans straddles a minor country road about half a mile north east of Veryan village deep in the Roseland countryside. Facilities within the village include a post office and shop, pub, church and primary school. There is a sports hall with indoor bowls and tennis courts and also a village hall which affords a varied programme of entertainment and local clubs. The village is just a mile inland from the south Cornish coast and the beaches of Carne and Pendower are popular with locals and visitors alike. Much of the land in the area is owned and protected by the National Trust and cliff tops walks abound.
