Church Square, St Just, Cornwall, TR19

Tucked away by the pretty church in St Just, just a short stroll from the central square of St Just, is this charming and unique 1 bedroom, Grade II listed cottage.

Set in a courtyard with a handful of other pretty cottages against the backdrop of the church, you will find Number 4 - a cheerful little home with oodles of character!

There is no denying this cottage is on the smaller side, but every space has been thought about and if needed; utilised! The living room offers plenty of charm, with exposed beams, wooden floorboards, and original-style timber windows at the front and rear. There is also a beautiful glazed door out to the garden with stained glass running down the middle - resulting in a wonderfully light room.

In the corner of the living room is the kitchen: a beautifully-finished masterpiece created from reclaimed timber. Offering a wooden worksurface, shelving, and bespoke cabinetry, the kitchen is fully formed with an inset sink/drainer and space for a fridge.

Upstairs, the character continues with an open bedroom space complete with a custom-made timber bed that has in-built cabinets and shelving. Above the bedroom is a mezzanine accessed via a ladder, with a heritage velux window offering outstanding views of St Just church and the pretty valley beyond. The mezzanine is carpeted and there is limited head height, so the space is a cosy sitting area.

Not one to miss out on the quirky and fabulous ingenuity employed here, the bathroom features a 'night-time bath' - complete with custom-made shutters (reclaimed timber) allowing you to bathe in almost complete darkness and privacy. There are large bespoke cabinets and some shelving also made using timber in the bathroom, and there is a timber sash window to the rear overlooking the garden.

This enchanting little cottage has been lovingly maintained and enhanced by its current owner with the addition of hand-made cabinets, a wonderful open mezzanine level and bespoke fixtures and fittings. Bored of the ordinary? Fancy living in a genuinely-unique cottage with impressive fixtures built from reclaimed materials? This may well be your dream home!
