3 Bedroom Cottage

The original part of this attractive, substantial semi-detached cottage was built in the early 1800s, it is GRADE II listed with many original character features and was added to at a later date to provide good family-sized accommodation. In the heart of the much-loved village of St Erth, Porch Cottage needs to be viewed to truly appreciate all it that it has to offer including the fabulous ‘Secret Garden’.
