In the centre of charming Truro, this apartment feels like a cosy ode to wool. Plush knitted throws adorn the sofa in the open-plan living room, and the bed is lined with fluffy sheepskin. Herringbone floor completes a classic look, and we love the seat in the big Georgian window (furnished with a sheepskin throw, of course) overlooking the street for a spot of people-watching. The kitchen has everything you need to cook full meals at home – perhaps courtesy of the fresh fish landed every day in the nearby harbour towns. And, if you want to dine outside, there’s a shared courtyard dappled with fairylights for the occasion. Location-wise, you’re in the heart of town and can reach all of Truro easily on foot. Quaint cafés serving scones (jam first, of course) and cream teas, fresh seafood restaurants and plenty of shops await. Getting out to explore the area, you’ll find the Roseland Heritage Coast AONB a ten-minute drive for clifftop co...

Housed in a Grade II listed townhouse dating back to1809, history may be in its bones but its aesthetic is nothing but 21st-century chic. The sociable open-plan living area is bathed in light thanks to the large sliding glass doors that lead out onto a private patio garden.

Tucked away at the back of the apartment, you’ll find the copper-accented bedroom. You’ll have no trouble slipping into sweet dreams in this quiet spot, leaving you rested and ready for an exciting day of sightseeing ...

So, if you’re looking for a private paradise that’s well connected with civilisation, this place hits the nail on the head. With its wooden beamed frontage and luscious shrubbery, you’ll instantly fall in love with its countrified good looks – and as you step inside beyond the blue front door, a welcoming snug awaits.
