Chy-An-Hobi
Penzance, Cornwall. There’s a stableblock with enough room for two horses at the back of Chy-An-Hobi, a very pretty four-bedroom, grey stone Cornish cottage set in over two acres of land, which could be yours for £575,000. When you’re not mucking out the horses’ new home, curl up by the inglenook fireplace and enjoy the views across the paddocks.
