Racket Town

Racket Town enjoys a truly unique position - at the heart of it all, yet tucked away among rolling pastures. Completely renovated over the winter of 2024/25, this stunning rural cottage offers the best of both worlds: easy access to the island’s amenities alongside the peace and privacy of a secluded countryside setting.

Racket Town was completely rebuilt last winter. The current imagery shows the new property, with further imagery coming very soon (May 2025).

A new description and floor plan will be available shortly.

The Cottage

Completely renovated over the winter of 2024–25, Racket Town has been thoughtfully reimagined to honour its beautiful rural setting, overlooking rolling pastures, yet just a few minutes’ stroll from the beach and many island amenities.

Step inside and be welcomed by a spacious, open-plan living area, where light pours in and a sense of ease fills the air. The flow between the kitchen, dining space, and sitting room invites both relaxed living and lively entertaining, while floor-to-ceiling patio doors frame unbroken views across the rolling fields.

Laid out across a single level, each bedroom enjoys views of the surrounding gardens and open countryside. The master suite offers a private bathroom and direct access to the sun terrace through elegant patio doors, while the two additional bedrooms are each served by sleek shower rooms, combining comfort with understated style. One of these bedrooms also opens directly onto the terrace, inviting the outdoors in.

Outside, generous gardens unfold around the cottage on two sides, catching the sun from morning into evening. A west-facing terrace is ideal for golden afternoons, while the south-facing lawn and sun deck are perfect for soaking up the day.

Nestled quietly in the garden, a private outdoor sauna offers a place to unwind, with wide pastoral views stretching towards the distant sea.

The Location

Set back from the quiet lane and wrapped in lush greenery, Racket Town is a hidden retreat - deeply connected to the landscape and entirely its own.

Those seeking a tranquil, restorative escape will find Racket Town a perfect haven. Its unique setting makes it an ideal starting point for leisurely strolls along Tresco’s winding woodland paths.

Though blissfully secluded from other cottages and buildings, it remains just a five-minute walk from the Island Spa, Tresco Stores, and the Flying Boat Café & Deli - and only a ten-minute amble to either coast.
