About this property

Quay House is a stunning, detached house settled in the coastal village of Charlestown, Cornwall. This four-bedroom home has a contemporary interior with light grey and white décor, along with two crackling woodburning stoves (decorative only) and beautiful furnishings, making it perfect for a family or group of friends looking for a relaxing break. Be welcomed by off-road parking before exploring your holiday home, where you will find an entrance hallway to leave your sandy shoes. There is a charming sitting room and snug, both furnished with plush sofas, a TV and woodburning stoves (decorative only), the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine. Prepare home-cooked meals in the spacious kitchen with a range cooker and savour meals together at the dining table. On balmy evenings, step out and climb up the steps to discover the garden; here you can star-gaze from the bubbling hot tub or dine alfresco on the sunny lawn. As the evening winds to an end, retire inside and venture upstairs to find the family bathroom and choose between four lovely bedrooms. There are one super-king-size and one super-king-size (zip/link), a double and a single bedroom, so why not climb into bed with a hot chocolate and a good book? Charlestown is an idyllic village to spend time with loved ones, home to the Eden Project, a large botanical garden that features a variety of plant life from around the world. The Shipwreck Treasure Museum is also located in Charlestown and houses a collection of artefacts recovered from shipwrecks that have occurred off the coast of Cornwall. Just paces away is the town of St Austell, hosting the Cornwall FootballGolf Park for the sports enthusiasts, and the Pinetum Gardens for those who want to relax in nature and The Cornwall Hotel and Spa for dining out. For rich history and culture, head to the city of Truro, where you can tour the iconic Cathedral, immerse yourself in the past at Royal Cornwall Museum and have a unique time at The Celtic Tossers. All this and more awaits at Quay House.
