  • Detached cottage in a sleepy hamlet on Cornwall’s Lizard Peninsula
  • Beautifully designed property with environmentally conscious straw-bale construction
  • Slate-tiled floors downstairs with underfloor heating for warmth and comfort in chilly weather
Property code: OC-CHYKA2

Chy Kala literally translates to 'straw house' and this lovingly designed property has been constructed using the environmentally friendly straw-bale method. Impeccable attention to detail has been given to the design and build of this wonderful house, which is sympathetic to its beautiful countryside surroundings featuring handcrafted English Green Oak, Douglas Fir, Chestnut and Larch throughout. 

Entering this home there is a central lobby, with a downstairs WC to the right. Off the hallway is the large well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room. Also off the hall is a light and spacious lounge/dining room with comfortable sofas, woodburner, TV and french doors leading out to the garden. The whole of the downstairs has slate tiled floors which benefits from under floor heating throughout.

A beautifully hand built light oak staircase leads you up to the first floor with a roomy landing, which features a balcony with views over the garden and countryside. Off the landing there is the master bedroom with double bed and an en-suite bathroom with bath and separate shower. The second bedroom contains linen for you to make-up the single bed, should you wish. Both bedrooms have lovely countryside views. 

Outside there is a gated driveway and enclosed gardens with lawn and patio area with seating. There is also a wood store where you can help yourself to logs for the woodburner.

Chy Kala is located in the pretty little village of Newtown-in-St Martin, on the Lizard Peninsula, and is within walking distance of the Prince of Wales pub which serves excellent food. Chy Kala is the perfect base for exploring the rest of The Lizard peninsula area of Cornwall and the nearby town of Helston is a just a 15 minute drive away.
