Rose Cottage is the middle of three typically Cornish stone and slate buildings with an unusual history. Together they formed the counting house for Wheal Fortune silver mine, the (now derelict) shaft of which is in the grounds of the adjacent cottage where the owners live. Situated in the ancient village of Harrowbarrow in the Tamar Valley (recently designated a World Heritage Site and also an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), the cottage is ideally placed for exploring the many interesting aspects of the river and its surrounding area: the famous National Trust property of Cotehele is just 3 miles away; Endsleigh Gardens and Morwellham Quay, near Tavistock, are also just a few miles away. Dartmoor, and the fine beaches of both North and South East Cornwall, are all within an easy drive.

The property has an appropriately `cottagey` feel and a door from the sitting room gives access to a private patio area and a very attractive south - facing garden with views out to the surrounding countryside. There are especially fine southerly views from upstairs.

Entrance into small galley kitchen, opening into sitting/dining room with open coal/log fire and French window to garden. Original stairs (slightly steep) to first floor. Two bedrooms, one double with long views and one single with 2'6" bed. Bathroom/wc with roll top bath and separate shower cubicle.

Private patio area and further lawn divided from owners` own, with flower border and shrubs.
