tarting with the grounds, how else to describe them than superb? They include a variety of paddocks and many vantage points from which to enjoy the stunning views, all with a fabulous feeling of space and privacy. There is also a swimming pool and surrounding decking, also with lovely views, plus a number of useful outbuildings, including a large timber barn that’s currently used as garaging and storage, and a chalet that’s perfect for housing guests. nto the first of the two residences and the name ‘Rose Farm Cottage’ really belies what you ll find inside he interiors lend contemporary clean lines with a traditional eye for design, with warm wood tones and a large, traditional, shaker-style kitchen reflecting the property s house in the country vibe. With an Aga at its heart and plenty of space, the kitchen is perfect for entertaining, whilst the main living area – with French doors leading out onto the terrace and its wonderful southerly views – allows you and yours to spread out when relaxing at home is the order of the day. There are currently two bedrooms, including a master with en suite, with a large landing area and generous study offering the potential for two further bedrooms, if required.

The original farmhouse, meanwhile, has been beautifully renovated to offer a lovely, spacious home. Features of note include a thoughtfully designed kitchen (also with an Aga at its heart) as well as a lovely dining area and a useful, separate utility room.

From the main reception room (with its welcoming woodburner), French doors open out onto a terrace and decking, where far-reaching rural views make taking your morning coffee al fresco a very tempting prospect indeed.

All of this lies equidistant from the bohemian harbour town of Falmouth and the cathedral city of Truro. Close to the popular village of Perranwell with its pub and village facilities, as well as the innumerable beaches of the south and north coasts, residents of Rose Farm are in optimum position to make the very best of a life in Cornwall.

very year the festive season hurtles towards us at an increasingly alarming rate. As summer fades into the distance, September sees seasonal adornments seep into shop windows. You’re thinking ‘already Christmas is coming around again’, and the perennial problem of finding the right gift for friends and loved ones arises. With that in mind, have you considered buying artwork as a Christmas gift? Art is far more than just a stockingfiller, and is a ore afforda le gift idea than you might think.

Art makes such a unique idea for a Christmas gift. Half the pleasure anyone gets from receiving a present is tearing off the gift-wrap and being surprised. Who expects a beautiful piece of art at Christmas? The colours, shapes and form jump out at the recipient as the gift-wrap falls to the floor and the box is opened.

The right art gift should not only complement the person it's intended for, it should complement their living space too. his shouldn t create conflict ecause people tend to surround themselves with a home d cor that fits their personal style

Giving art as a Christmas present offers you the opportunity not only to celebrate the person you care about but also their home. An artwork received for Christmas can enhance a living space, and subtly alter the lighting and focus of the room. Everyone loves receiving a gift that co pletes a roo rtwor fulfils this purpose admirably. histlefish si ply love art, whether it s the feeling of e cite ent when you find that special piece that you just know will light up your living space, or the peaceful contentment you get when you furnish your room with the perfect picture.

Every unique recipe liqueur is presented in a bottle that has een washed, dried, filled, capped, ri oned and labelled by hand in Cornwall, resulting in beautiful, keep-sake bottles that look every bit as good as the contents taste.

This dynamic duo’s passion for developing new and e clusive flavours, with the finest ingredients sourced locally wherever possible, means that there is something for every palette across the range.

Cornish Blac Bee oney is used to flavour the Honey and Spice Rum Liqueur, while the addition of Cornish Sea Salt adds depth to the Salted Caramel Rum Liqueur. Over the years, recipes have been tweaked to reduce sugar content in line with modern tastes and only fresh spring water is used in the mixing process. It's no surprise then, that Monarch Liqueurs now has seven Silver awards and two Gold awards from Taste of the West under its belt! These include Silver for the Honey & Spice Rum liqueur, the Spiced Orange Whisky and the Salted Caramel Rum liqueur, plus Gold for the delicious Peach Brandy Liqueur and Apple Brandy Liqueur. And as Cliff and Liz continue to wor on new and e citing flavours, like the recently released Spirit of Lanson gin, there are bound to be more to come!

The liqueurs themselves are smooth enough to enjoy on their own, and are also delicious when added to a coffee or hot chocolate for a decadent treat.

With online ordering and bespoke gift boxes available, you can enjoy a tasty tipple from Cornwall, wherever you are!
