Old Springfields - St Ives

Our home is a beautiful old granite Cornish Cottage.
It has stone floors downstairs, a wood burning stove in the living room with feature granite walls.

Downstairs there is a playroom with TV, PlayStation and a wide selection of games and a piano room. We have a fully equipped kitchen with large windows making it bright and airy, we also have a separate utility/boot room with a washer and dryer. There is a downstairs bathroom with a bath.
Upstairs there is a main double room with a king size bed, a bathroom with a large shower and 3 single bedrooms.

Our house is a little kooky with many original features. It most definitely has character!
We are semi detached, although the neighbours are no bother as they are actually my parents.
We have a large enclosed cottage garden with a fire pit, BBQ, large picnic bench and swing seat.

Out the back there is yard where we have 8 rare breed chickens. These can be seen from the kitchen window and often take an interest in watching us eat!
The chickens can be looked after by my parents if you would rather. On the front lawn we have a small gaggle of call ducks who help us keep the slug population under control.
We have 3 child friendly, gentle Ragdoll cats, who are house cats, so need to be kept indoors. They would very much appreciate some food morning and night and maybe a lap to sit on, although they could go to the cattery if you are not feline fans.
We also have a very friendly Springer spaniel named Milo. Depending on where we are going, he may come with us. If you would prefer not to look after Milo, we can leave him with a dog sitter.
