Nestled in the heart of the countryside in Zennor, this unique smallholding is steeped in history and overflowing with charm.

.
Once forming the Wayside Folk Museum, and more recently Zennor Wayside gift shop & gardens, centred around an old Cornish mill, this remarkable granite property offers a blend of heritage, versatility and lifestyle opportunity, all set against a backdrop of rolling countryside & sea glimpses.

.
The principal residence is a beautifully restored four-bedroom cottage, rich in original features, including exposed granite walls, timber beams, vaulted ceilings and a traditional bread oven. The home feels wonderfully bright and spacious throughout. The accommodation begins with a cosy lounge/snug, centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with log burner that creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. From here, the home flows into a characterful dining room with original wooden panelling, before leading into a modern fitted kitchen with access to the outside and a separate utility room. A second lounge, featuring vaulted ceilings, log burner and double doors into the garden, provides additional living space, ideal for families & entertaining.

.
Uniquely, the property benefits from two separate staircases leading to the first floor, offering excellent annex potential or privacy for extended family and teenagers. One side of the house comprises two bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the opposite side hosts the principal bedroom with en-suite, an office-studio / fourth bedroom and second shower-room with toilet. Separate from the principal residence is the enchanting, recently renovated Mill House — a one-bedroom cottage of immense character, still home to the original mill water wheel & workings (which are beautifully displayed behind glass within the lounge). The cottage also features a modern kitchen with exposed stone detailing and a first-floor open-plan bedroom suite with sitting area, en-suite bathroom and sea views. Adding further to its history, the celebrated British composer George Lloyd once lived and composed music here. Sunset views over the sea are sublime. The Piggery is a charming, recently converted studio-style, open-plan annex, currently operating as a successful holiday let for two, complete with its own private entrance and courtyard garden.

.
The largest studio building (once tearooms), situated at the front of the property, offers a wonderful light-filled environment ideal for artists, creatives or home working. Recently re-converted and with plumbing already in place, it has excellent potential as additional accommodation or business use if desired. The property also includes the former shop (also recently converted), a substantial and versatile space ripe for home or business use, a separate workshop and several lofts, the largest one fully boarded. Outside, there is ample parking for multiple vehicles. The grounds have been carefully landscaped to create beautiful low-maintenance gardens, which include Cornish drystone walling, mediterranean / coastal-style planting and numerous private areas of interest nestled throughout. The entire property has been sympathetically renovated and rewired, whilst carefully preserving its rich Cornish character and historic integrity. Perfectly positioned just moments from the stunning Southwest Coast Path, local stream and the much-loved Tinner's Arms, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an extraordinary lifestyle property in one of Cornwall’s most desirable coastal villages, just a short distance from St. Ives. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this expansive property, its history, flexibility and the charm this exceptional home has to offer.
