The Granary
Raftra is close to some spectacular coves around Porthcurno and Land’s End. In fact the beaches, which include Sennen and Nanjizal, on this far western peninsula are stunning, with turquoise seas and white sands. Many are secluded and accessed only by foot along magnificent cliff paths making this an ideal area for walking. The Minack Theatre is also nearby. The Granary is a spacious, detached granite house, set within half an acre of garden with some distant sea views. On the ground floor, the bedroom is next to the wet-room and off the hall, down a step, is the kitchen/dining-room. Two more steps lead down to a sitting-room which has a wood-burner and a large wall-mounted plasma television. An Aga in the kitchen/dining-room is the sole cooking appliance (a microwave is provided) and adds warmth in the winter months. A large farmhouse table is the focal point of this room which also has access to the garden. Stairs lead up to the remaining three bedrooms, the family bathroom which has a roll-top bath, and the study.

Hollyberry Barn
A superb detached barn, recently converted into a first class home, offering high quality accommodation with beautiful rural views over a patchwork of Cornish Countryside, with a tiny glimpse of the distant sea. Situated 1/4 mile down an unmade lane, a mile from the village centre with its ancient church, the property is near the owner's own home, but is secluded from it.
Both are set in thirty-six acres of land which is a conservation area, and there are lovely woodland and nature walks with ancient enclosures. As well as species of orchids, rare ferns and dragonflies, you are likely to spot a fox, badger, or rabbits scampering in the fields. This is a good central location for exploring the Land's End Peninsula; Sennen Cove is just 3.5 miles away and Treen and its neighbouring coves are within ten minutes drive. The accommodation is of course in excellent order throughout, with attractive decor, and oil fired central heating for comfort throughout the year. There are many character features, such as ceiling beams and traditional rough stone painted walls and timber flooring. A very spacious and attractive holiday home in a lovely setting. This property is suited to those with walking difficulties, due to the ground floor bedroom, bathroom and tiled shower cubicle, which allows wheelchair access.
Accommodation:
Large Kitchen/Dining Room: Electric cooker, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer. Two steps (with handrail) up to Bedroom One: Twin Beds. Door to garden. Shower room: Tiled shower cubicle, basin and W C. Bedroom Two: One pine double and one singe bed; TV point, door to garden. First Floor: Spacious Lounge: TV/Video/DVD; door to steps down to garden.
