Description of Slades Cottage
Sheltering in a wooded valley on the fringes of Bodmin Moor, this is an ideal location from which to explore the best of Cornwall’s countryside and coastline with the North and South coast just a 30 minute drive. This traditional 200 year old terraced cottage is close to the 15th century parish church, in the heart of the pretty village of St Neot, a former winner of Britain’s Best Village.
Slades Cottage provides warm and cosy accommodation benefiting from central heating and double glazing yet retains its considerable charm and character. One step leads up to the low front doorway which opens directly into a deceptively spacious sitting room with a high beamed ceiling and rugs on the original slate flagstones. Comfortable lounge seating is arranged before the decorative Cornish stone fireplace with the original cloam oven and an electric coal effect fire that provides an attractive focal point. At the rear, two steps lead up to a small inner lobby with an adjacent cloakroom W.C. with hand basin and a recently upgraded fitted kitchen/dining room with a slate tiled floor and traditional fireplace.
A fully glazed door opens from the kitchen to a little sheltered courtyard with a small bistro table and chairs catching the morning sun. In one corner of the lounge, cottage stairs wind up to the first floor landing where there are two pleasantly furnished bedrooms with deep set windows. The master bedroom has a double and single bed and sloping wooden floorboards and the second smaller bedroom has twin 2ft 6in beds. A modern bathroom W.C. with hand basin and shower over the bath completes the accommodation. Parking on the road close to the cottage is unrestricted.
St Neot has a local shop, pub and social club open to non-members within a two minute walk and there are several village pubs within a short drive, the nearest being 4 miles. For a wider selection of amenities the towns of Bodmin and Liskeard are a 15 minute drive. There are an abundance of footpaths nearby both on the moor and along the scenic River Fowey and fishing is available at Colliford and Siblyback Lakes, 4.5 miles respectively, the latter also has water sports facilities. Carnglaze Caverns, Lanhydrock House and the Eden Project are all within easy reach and the unique shopping experience at Trago Mills is a 5 minute drive. The sandy beach at Looe offers safe bathing and pleasure boat trips depart from the quayside.
