Dream house in Cornwall Cosy

The house was built in the 18th century

but it has now been updated with every

modern luxury. There’s a greenhouse,

the Sunroom (see photo above), that has

been designed to fit the style perfectly.

It’s light but cosy, with doors that open

out onto the garden. In the summer

you can smell the sea outside and

the delicious scent of the English rose

gardens. In the winter you can curl up

by the open hearth and The Fable is a

wonderfully cosy place to escape the

pressures of everyday life.

Cornwall

At the end of a little country

lane near the village of St Agnes

in Cornwall, in the southwest of

England, is this romantic, white

dream house with a thatched roof:

The Fable.

You can sink into the soft cushions for a nice chat by this atmospheric

open fire.

Close to The

Fable, in

the Cornish

countryside, there is a

dairy owned by the Parker

family. Here they make the

most delicious ice cream

you have ever tried, from

healthy milk, the best

cream and fresh fruit.

Enjoy hours spent at the big farmhouse table

eating homemade dishes using

local products.

From the farmerThe house is completely self-catered. That’s no

problem though. The kitchen has a vintage look

but is fitted with everything you might need.

There are some farm shops close to The

Fable where you can buy food

straight from the farmer. The

seaside village of St Agnes is nearby

too, for the daily groceries. There are

cafes, restaurants, craft shops and

galleries as well as a beach and the

sea, of course.

Can you see how spacious The Fable is? You don’t realise from the outside.

There used to be a

lot of tin and copper

mines in Cornwall.

This history is still

visible in many

places. High up on

a cliff at St Agnes

Head is an old machine

room for one of these

mines. It’s interesting

to look at.

Plenty of attention has been paid to the decoration of

the bathroom too. There’s lots of worn wood and a

blackboard wall.St Agnes has a few traditional

tearooms where you can really treat yourself.

This comfy reading corner is in the master bedroom. So don’t forget to pack a good book.

Always wanted to try surfing? There is a surf school not far away, where they give lessons

at all levels.

Let it rainOn the left you can see the large bedroom. So

spending a rainy day in bed isn’t so bad! The

other bedroom is large too and has a huge bed.

This bed is made up of two singles that you can

push apart. Both bedrooms have been decorated

with care, featuring lots of vintage accessories

so you will feel right at home. In the large family

bathroom there’s a vintage bath with claw feet.

It’s great to see how much modern luxury has

been created with old materials throughout

the house.
