Lower Cot Mill is a three bedroom 17th Century corn mill with many original features. It has beamed ceilings, wooden floors, wrought-iron spiral staircase, a wood burning stove and also has a large conservatory. The property is set in a small, rural hamlet at the end of a single track no through road in a wooded valley. It has secluded, enclosed gardens on several levels with the original leats, exotic plants and areas for al fresco dining and barbeques. At the bottom of the garden is a stream with an area ideal for solitude and contemplation. The mill also has a purpose built artists studio available for use.

Lower Cot Mill is a fifteen minute walk from Porth Nanven Cove and the spectacular Atlantic coast. There are numerous footpaths accessible from the door and the property is within easy walking distance of St. Just with its amenities.

The garden is a haven in which only birdsong and the stream can generally be heard. A gate in the garden leads out onto a footpath that leads to St Just, fifteen minutes walk away

Lower Cot Mill lies within a small hamlet at the end of a single track lane located on the western side of Cot Valley. At the bottom of the valley lies Porth Nanven, also known as Dinosaur Egg Beach, so-called because of a remarkable deposit of ovoid boulders covering the beach and foreshore. These boulders come in all sizes, from hen's egg to a metre or more in length, and have proved so tempting as souvenirs that they are now legally protected by the National Trust, which owns the beach. Many visitors assume that these weirdly rounded boulders are the work of the sea, and they are - but the sea of 120,000 years ago. Sea levels have changed many times since then and today it is a lot lower than when the beach was formed, hence, standing on the beach and looking back towards the cliff, you will see a wall of the rounded boulders waiting to break away and join those on today's beach. Porth Nanven is a fifteen minute walk down the valley and is a wonderful place for a dip in the Atlantic or an evening barbeque
