The Orchard Hill House

The Orchard Hill House is a three-bedroom property on the Cornish Riviera, positioned above Malpas with views across the creek towards the marina. Truro's centre and cathedral lie ten minutes' drive away. You get one double bedroom, one twin that converts to a double with direct access to a sunny deck, and one single; one family bathroom upstairs and a second WC downstairs means five guests can stay comfortably. The main living space is a generous lounge facing the water, with a wood-burning stove, sofas and a window seat where binoculars sit ready. A dining room with an antique character runs through, and the kitchen is fully fitted with everything needed to cook—oven, hob, dishwasher, washing machine, a large fridge-freezer and microwave included.

Outside is where the property distinguishes itself. A private tiered garden drops down from the house with a hot tub for five, a new outdoor shower, and multiple spots to sit. Higher up, a lawn and patio set for six open onto views of boats passing below; there's a BBQ and a front paved garden with more seating. A garage holds one car and an untethered 7 kW EV charger; a medium car fits on the drive. Two kayaks are available for guests. Electricity, bed linen and towels are included. The Heron Inn stands a minute away, with a marina, farm shop and tearoom also nearby. Boats regularly tour from the marina to Falmouth and St Mawes; Trelissick Gardens and the King Harry Ferry lie within reach. One dog is welcome. Smoking is not permitted.
