This charming, traditional Cornish tin miner’s cottage is perched on a hill near Redruth, offering breathtaking countryside views. Built from granite in 1890, Kitts Cottage is set within its own spacious half-acre garden, alongside a quiet bridleway—perfect for those seeking peace and seclusion. Inside, the cottage is comfortably furnished, featuring a king-size bed and a cosy woodburner—ideal for relaxing evenings after a day exploring. Step outside and you’ll find miles of beautiful walks.

Walk out of the cottage garden, and you are immediately on a bridlepath. The area is perfect for walking, and you can walk for hours in most directions without meeting a busy road, which is great if your dog is with you. It’s a great area for exploring on foot or bike, and right on top of the hill is a lake. The small village of Carharrack is about one mile away, which can be reached by road or footpaths, and there is a small convenience store there for everyday items. They can deliver on certain days, and the contact number is on the small notice board in the kitchen. Carharrack also has a very large play area for children. The nearest town to the cottage is Redruth, which is approximately three miles away by car.
