SETTING THE SCENE

Once part of the original Clowance Wood Farm Estate, Cows Cramp enjoys a blissful and secluded location in south west Cornwall, amidst unspoilt countryside between Helston, Hayle and Camborne. This is very much a rural area, yet the property is within eight miles from the foodie fishing village of Porthleven on the south coast and the long sandy surfing beach at Gwithian on the north coast.

There are mainline stations at nearby St.Erth and Camborne including an overnight 'sleeper' service to London Paddington, with Newquay airport offering regular flights to London and many European destinations.

HISTORY

Cows Cramp, located in the parish of Crowan, is a charming Grade II listed cottage dating back to the mid-18th century and forms part of Cornwall’s rich architectural heritage. Formally part of the Clowance estate, the house is arranged in an almost symmetrical two-room plan, with a kitchen and later 'lean-to' addition reflecting its gentle evolution over the centuries.

THE TOUR

Set within approximately 27 acres of idyllic Cornish countryside, Cows Cramp is an unspoilt smallholding in an exceptionally peaceful setting, perfectly positioned within easy reach of both the north and south coasts. With rolling pasture, pockets of woodland, orchards and a river tracing the lower boundary, it offers a rare opportunity to embrace a quieter, more connected way of life. At its heart sits an exceptionally picturesque Grade II listed two bedroom cottage, accompanied by a detached timber-clad studio and a beautifully crafted shepherd’s hut. Built of traditional stone beneath scantle slate roofs, the wisteria-clad cottage is rich in timeless character and understated beauty.

Inside, the cottage has been sensitively restored and thoughtfully extended through the addition of an oak-framed conservatory. Natural materials consisting of lime washed finishes, exposed stone walling and rich-toned wood flooring, create interiors that feel warm, calm and deeply inviting.

The main living area stretches from the front of the cottage to the rear, and through to the conservatory. There is a wood burner in a huge stone inglenook fireplace. Off this room is a 'snug' sitting room with wood burner, a long 'galley' kitchen and a beautiful bathroom with freestanding bath. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a stunning shower room.

Today, Cows Cramp stands as a wonderfully preserved example of the Cornish vernacular, combining architectural heritage with the natural beauty of its remarkable private rural setting.

STEP OUTSIDE

The grounds are every bit as captivating as the landscape that surrounds them. Gently rolling pasture gives way to wildflower meadows, orchards, fenced paddocks and a picturesque pond, while pockets of enchanting woodland and mature trees create a remarkable sense of privacy and calm. Along the lower boundary, the river meanders quietly through the valley, adding to the peaceful, unspoilt feel of the setting.

Beyond the main house, the grounds also encompass a spacious and beautifully designed detached studio, a shepherd’s hut, a substantial modern agricultural barn and a productive poly tunnel, offering wonderful flexibility and clear potential for a more self-sufficient and sustainable way of life. It is an exceptionally special setting, offering space to slow down, reconnect with nature and embrace a quieter, more considered pace of living.
