About
Jenny's Cottage: A Charming 3 Bedroom Extended Stone Built Character Cottage in Higher Menadue with No Onward Chain.
Located within the peaceful hamlet of Higher Menadue, Jenny's Cottage is a beautifully characterful stone built Cornish cottage, dating back to around 1850, offering charming accommodation, delightful gardens, and a genuine sense of history throughout.
The entrance hall leads through to a fully refitted family shower room, before opening into the wonderfully cosy, beamed lounge, where the focal point is a striking fireplace with multi fuel stove, the perfect spot to relax on cooler evenings.
The heart of the home is undoubtedly the beamed cottage kitchen/diner, featuring a double Belfast sink, modern aga style oil fired Heritage cooker, and charming hand built wooden units.
Door opens directly out to the enclosed garden to the side and rear, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, with the main bedroom a particular highlight, showcasing an impressive open truss ceiling with rooflights, flooding the room with natural light and character.
Outside, the cottage is complemented by enclosed gardens to both the front and rear, along with a small utility room/store and a stone built store (formerly a piggery) benefiting from power, ideal as a workshop or additional storage.
A timber shed and two log stores add further practicality. The property benefits from driveway parking with further space on the adjacent lane.
A truly special example of Cornish cottage living, combining period charm, thoughtful updates including oil fired central heating and a peaceful rural setting steeped in heritage.
Viewing is highly recommended.
Higher Menadue sits within Luxulyan Parish, right on the edge of the historic Luxulyan Valley, an area celebrated internationally for Joseph Treffry's pioneering 19th-century granite mining infrastructure and tramways.
This industrial heritage helped earn the wider Luxulyan Valley unesco World Heritage status, part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape, adding a fascinating layer of history to this peaceful rural setting.
Surrounded by unspoilt Cornish countryside with trail walks from the doorstep, Higher Menadue offers a genuinely tranquil rural setting while remaining within easy reach of the nearby village of Luxulyan, along with the market town of St Austell and the A30.
