Well, they say good things come in small packages, and this modest Cornish cottage proves that to be true. Listed for a hair over $275,000USD this Newquay maisonette is reworked from a historic forge and yet still manages to pack in loads of light and loftiness in its compact floorplate. Beyond the Cornish stone façade, the cottage features a double-height open plan shared by a clever plywood kitchen, sky-lit lounge, and bathroom; the whitewashed main floor leads up a sandy-colored timber staircase to a mezzanine bedroom with cork flooring, wide and tall enough to sleep two. Though small, it’s not quite a ‘tiny home’ and can be used full-time or for holidays to the surf-friendly Atlantic cliffs and beaches just a few minutes’ walk away. Peaceful.

Maybe for a weekend get away, while I am feeling up to the stairs.

🥺 Hubby and I have no fear of small (even tiny) homes and we were full-time RVers for 5 years. But, this house is such an odd little creature I don't know what to think! There is zero curb appeal and it interrupts the flow of the buildings and rowhouses nearby. Maybe it's the sudden whiteness! I like the interior, but this poor baby needs some love and color and better furnishings! If I had the money, I would buy it just to give it a hug-flip and better prepare for someone else to provide the forever love it needs! 🤗
ReplyDeleteNow this is more me for sure. Who needs all this space, after all you can't take it with you when you're gone. I find the place very charming and quaint although I would have to add a tinge of color but not too much as it would make the space feel smaller. And I love the word you came up with maisonette!!!!! Places like this have so much more character.
