DescriptionPentrig has been lovingly owned by the same family and is now on the market for the first time for over 32 years. Pentrig’s name is derived in Cornish from “pen” meaning hill or headland and "trig" which refers to shellfish, especially cockles, mussels and oysters. The term "trigg-picking" or "trigging" is associated with the traditional Cornish practice of collecting shellfish at low water and more specifically on the Helford River on Good Friday, the only day of the year when this is permitted. Upon entering the cottage, you'll be greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, infused with a sense of nostalgia and local heritage. The quaint living area exudes a cozy ambiance, providing the perfect space to relax and unwind. The characteristic wooden beams and open fireplace add a touch of authenticity, creating a unique and homely environment. One of the highlights of this beautiful cottage is the rear courtyard.
The ViewsSteeped in history, this homely cottage captures mesmerizing, picturesque harbour as well as dramatic sea views. Wake up to the soothing sound of splashing waves and indulge in the breathtaking vista from the comfort of your own living room or bedroom. The views from the cottage are inspiring and captivating. They encompass St Mawes Harbour leading to the Percuil River, with its array of yacht and boat moorings, the National Trust owned St Anthony Headland and then span across Falmouth Bay to the Lizard Peninsula and out over miles of open sea. The views are ever changing and are a hive of all year-round boating, wildlife and marine activity. Facing just off due south, Pentrig enjoys the all-day sunshine.

Offered with no onward chain, explore the magic and allure of the village with its breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and friendly local community as well as a selection of shops, art galleries, cafes, pubs, restaurants and spectacular coastal walks which are just a stone's throw away from your front door.
