Hidden away up a bridlepath with tremendous southerly views, Kitts Cottage affords complete privacy yet is only a mile from the village of Carharrack (shop and PO). The cottage is also conveniently placed for visiting the many attractions of this part of Cornwall - the superb sandy/surfing beaches at Porthtowan and Portreath on the north coast, the cliff walks of the Lizard peninsula, the creeks of the Fal Estuary and the Helford River with their sub-tropical gardens (Trebah, Trelissick and The Lost Gardens of Heligan), shopping in the cathedral city of Truro (6 miles) - and of course famous St Ives with its laid-back artist community.
Originally a tinner's simple dwelling, Kitts Cottage has been sympathetically modernised to provide a comfortable and attractive place to relax and enjoy the peace and privacy it affords.
