The Granary

Attention All-Season Nature Lovers. Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Engollan near St Merryn, The Granary is a 'four-tick' characterful coastal hideaway where countryside meets sea.

With open views, easy access to the South West Coast Path, and seven beautiful bays within a few miles, it offers an ideal retreat for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers seeking space, scenery and tranquillity. This charming reverse-level converted barn is designed to make the most of its setting.

Upstairs, the light-filled sitting room is crowned by a vaulted ceiling with exposed pitch-pine beams. Sofas complementing contemporary furnishings gather around a Scandinavian-style wood-burning stove, creating a warm and welcoming place to relax after a day outdoors, while large windows frame sweeping countryside views with glimpses of the sea beyond.

The open-plan kitchen and dining area is perfectly suited to relaxed evenings in. A farmhouse table provides space to share meals and plan the next day’s walks, while the well-equipped kitchen makes it easy to enjoy local Cornish produce.

Downstairs, three comfortable bedrooms offer a restful night’s sleep: a double bedroom with en-suite shower room, a second double bedroom, and a single bedroom, alongside a family bathroom — ideal for easing tired muscles after long coastal walks. Outside, a gently lawned garden provides a peaceful spot to unwind.

Enjoy birdsong in the morning, sunlit afternoons with a book, or a glass of wine on the patio as the light fades, with dark skies and rural quiet enhancing the sense of escape. From the doorstep, walking opportunities abound.

Head towards the coast to reach dramatic clifftop paths where scenes from Poldark were filmed, or follow the South West Coast Path to the towering sea stacks of Bedruthan Steps. Walk north towards Porthcothan Bay to discover secluded smugglers’ coves, and wildlife-rich headlands and far-reaching Atlantic views.
