About this property

Quay House is a beautifully presented detached property in the heart of Charlestown in Cornwall, just a short stroll from the iconic Georgian harbour. With its spacious interiors, private garden and bubbling hot tub, this four-bedroom home offers the ideal setting for a relaxed coastal escape with family or friends.

Step inside to discover a calm and stylish interior, with light, neutral tones and thoughtfully chosen furnishings throughout. The welcoming sitting room and separate snug both offer inviting spaces to unwind after a day exploring, each with deep sofas and decorative woodburning stoves (not in use), perfect for curling up with a book or a late night movie.

At the heart of the home is the generously equipped kitchen and dining area, where you’ll find everything you need for holiday cooking. Please note, the range cooker is for decorative purposes only, but there is a fully functional modern oven and hob provided. From here, step outside and climb a few steps to the garden, creating an easy flow for inside-outside living.

Outside, the garden is a true highlight, offering a high degree of privacy - a rarity in such a central location. Discover a generous patio with garden furniture for alfresco meals, a large lawn for the kids to play, and a bubbling hot tub for a peaceful soak under the stars.

Upstairs, you’ll find four beautifully appointed bedrooms: one super-king, one super-king (zip/link to twin beds on request), a double, and a single - providing flexible accommodation for families or groups. A family bathroom with a bath tub and walk-in shower serves the first floor, while a useful ground floor shower room adds convenience for sandy beachgoers.

Off-road parking is available right outside the property - an absolute godsend in this highly sought-after seaside village. The home also offers a separate utility room and full central heating, making it a comfortable choice at any time of year. Well-behaved pets are welcome too.

Located just moments from Charlestown Harbour, fans of the Poldark series will love exploring the historic quayside and small beach. There are plenty of pubs and cafes nearby to enjoy, and the popular sandy beaches of Porthpean and Carlyon Bay are all within easy reach. Further afield, you’ll find must-see attractions such as the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Fowey, Truro and Polperro.

Whether you’re planning lazy days on the beach, coastal walks, or cultural adventures, Quay House is a superb base for your next Cornish holiday.

A charming coastal village near St. Austell with stone cottages and Regency houses. It's the perfect holiday destination thanks to its collection of tall ships, shipwreck museum, excellent pubs and restaurants, and easy access to the coastal path. Poldark was filmed there. Carlyon Bay and Porthpean offer nearby golf. Mevagissey is a 20-minute drive from the Lost Gardens of Heligan, several stately homes and gardens, and the Eden Project. Newquay and North Cornwall are a 35-minute drive away.
