Charmingly known as 'The Stack' the house is believed to have been built in the late 1800's and served as an Engine house to the New Terras Mine of Cornwall near Truro. It still retains it's impressive engine house chimney that is tapered and truncated from its original form. For much of the early 20th Century the property was affectionately known to locals as the "Castle" and it certainly retains characteristics to know why.

The enchanting property is arranged over 5 quirky floors which includes a lower-ground floor sitting room and a ground floor, open-plan kitchen-diner.

Striped walls of granite frame a rustic yet luxurious decor that creates a stylish and cosy atmosphere.

Downstairs, dark grey walls, sumptuous seating and a sheep-skin rug has turned the lower-ground floor into a comfortable and stylish cinema snug.

There are a further three floors above connected by a winding oak staircase. Each level has a stylishly themed double-bedroom of its own. The master bedroom is decorated in a spicy Moroccan flavour with intricate headboard.

Adjacent to the master bedroom an amazing bathroom has a roll top bath positioned in front of an arched window which allows guests to soak up the beautiful Cornish views outside.

The top floor twin zip-and-link bedroom has a distinct Americana vibe and is complete with vintage star-gazing paraphernalia.
