Written by Theresa Tyack Wednesday, 13 July 2011 15:47
A Bed & Breakfast described as "Cornish Gold" by Lady Magazine, and likened to a luxurious 5-star hotel has, just come on to the market.
Gardens Cottage is situated in the tranquil Luxulyan Valley, South-East Cornwall, just 1 mile from the Eden Project. The 17th Century property, which has featured in several national property magazines including House Beautiful, has been painstakingly restored by its owners, Kath and Ivan Walker.
BedroomMr & Mrs Walker employed local architect, Christopher Jones, to design a separate annexe of three en-suite guest bedrooms linked to the main cottage by an elegant glass conservatory which serves as a dining room for guests.
At present the couple run the business very casually with an occupancy rate of 36%, achieving an annual turnover of £46,000, but any prospective buyer could easily improve on these figures by increasing the season, as the owners have confirmed that the trade is there to be had.
Dining RoomKath Walker says "whilst my husband and I are looking to retire, we will be sad to leave. Our peaceful location surrounded by woodland, is close to Fowey and the Eden Project which means we attract a nice class of clientele. People who come down the path to the house say how lucky we are, and I have considered it a privilege to live here".
Gardens Cottage is on the market at a guide price of £1,000,000.
