"Sharkey's Cottage", Coveside, Cadgwith

The traditional home of local fisherman and character Sharkey Stephens 1926-2017 A spacious two-storey Cornish cottage snug under its beautifully thatched roof - warm in winter, cool in summer and only four minutes stroll from the sea. The space Put your car in the free parking space and come in through the teak front door; you have to your left a modern, equipped kitchen and six-seat dining room; to your right sheltered by the 16th century weatherboard is the parlour with ship's timbers over the hearth and a low-emission log burning stove. For work there's a reclining chair alongside the occasional table with its high-speed wi-fi hub. Opposite the stairs is a door - mind your head! - to another "Snug" sitting room, with easy chairs and a sofa for comfortable television viewing. Another wood-burner will keep you cosy. Upstairs the third bedroom has been made into a lovely bathroom with a five foot bath and proper overhead shower. At opposite ends of the house are the two double bedrooms with original doors and windows from which Sharkey could see his rakish 25 foot Crabber, the "Kingfisher" winched up safely on the fishing beach. Guest access The entire Cottage is there for your enjoyment, with unmatched views from the outdoor dining terrace. If wind is forecast, please put the sun umbrella in for the night!! It's wonderful to sleep within the three-foot thick walls and wake to the sun streaming in. Open the front door and smell the sea air, and in spring, the gorse and the bluebells, as you step out onto the Coastal Footpath, for although you can park here, there is NO noisy traffic.
