The property
In a wooded valley in Perranarworthal, The Brass Bolt Shop is a Grade II listed cottage on two levels in a smart private residential development of cottages and apartments converted from historic Perran Foundry and set within 5 acres of grounds in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the banks of the River Kennall.
The foundry dates from 1791 and was a hub of industry until 1879; it is now a fascinating World Heritage Site.
Particularly good for couples or a small family.
Inside, the cottage has been artfully renovated to sensitively merge contemporary comforts with the original spirit of the building.
The open-plan split-level living-dining room has slate floors and oak beams and a vaulted ceiling; step up to the stylish fitted kitchen and through to the ground floor double bedroom and the shower-room.

About the location
PERRANARWORTHAL
Mylor Bridge 2.7 miles; Falmouth 5.8 miles; Truro 5.9 miles.
Perranarworthal is a small village in Cornwall set alongside the River Kennall. The village has a local inn, cricket ground and lovely church. Less than a mile away is Perranwell Station where you will find all the amenities you could need, with a Post Office, village store, and a local railway station from which you can travel to Truro and Falmouth. Mylor Bridge, just under 3 miles away, is a sought-after and picturesque village at the head of Mylor Creek that runs up from the Carrick Roads, the World’s third largest deep water harbour. Boats and sailing, wooded creeks, softly gliding water, riverside pubs and fabulous gardens epitomise the area. This friendly village has a superb selection of local shops (try the fresh fish!), a Post Office, a good pub and several restaurants within easy reach. The nearby harbour town of Falmouth with its exciting Maritime Museum and its castle, beaches and marina makes a great day out while the Cathedral city of Truro famous for its cobbled streets, theatre, museums and vibrant shopping centre should not be missed. Take the car, or a boat from Falmouth, for a trip up the stunningly beautiful Helford River and while there, call in at Glendurgan and Trebah Gardens for the horticultural treat of the year. The area is perfectly placed too for exploring the rugged cliffs, sandy coves and fishing villages of the Lizard Peninsula, also The Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan are both within an hour’s drive.
