This beautifull granite cottage is named after the local tin mine that dominated the area back in the mid 1800's and is situated in the secluded clifftop hamlet of Trowan. Hidden at the end of a cornish lane the tiny historic hamlet has been declared an area of outstanding natural beauty by The National Trust and is surrounded by acres of green Cornish meadows with sweeping sea views.

Private parking for two cars is also provided.

The gated community of Trowan comprises of a dozen individual cottages, most of which are private second homes. Predating St Ives by several hundred years and in its heyday, during the eighteenth century, Trowan was home to more than a hundred people. In more recent years the hamlet fell into disrepair. Recently restored in close conjunction with The National Trust the ruined cottages have been carefully and beautifully restored to their former glory.
