Charming Cottage With Easy Access To The Eden Project, Lost Gardens Of Heligan

Brookside is a charming, South facing Cornish cottage that sits in a quiet country lane. The cottage is more than 150 years old and has been refurbished to a high standard, decorated in a simple,modern style yet retaining its period charm.
