Ref: LCAA8141 Offers in Excess of £700,000 Chym Bloth, Chymbloth Ref: LCAA8141 Offers in excess of £700,000 Chym Bloth, Chymbloth Way, Coverack, Helston, Cornwall, TR12 6TA FREEHOLD Available for the first time in 30 years, to be sold in order to close an Estate. The perfect opportunity to purchase a 5 bedroomed detached period house requiring modernisation but occupying a fantastic position that commands panoramic views out over Coverack harbour, the open sea and along the coast. Set in a large garden plot with garaging and parking in a prime position in the sought after picturesque fishing village on the Lizard Peninsula. 2 Ref: LCAA8141 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: sunroom, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, pantry, cloakroom, utility room. First Floor: 5 bedrooms (one en-suite), shower room, bathroom. Outside: large roof terrace and tiered gardens, 3 garages and off-street parking. DESCRIPTION Available for the first time in 30 years, now needing to be sold in order to close an Estate, the perfect opportunity to breathe life back into a beautiful old period house which enjoys a stunning position within the charming and sought after fishing village of Coverack on the eastern side of the Lizard Peninsula. A period detached five bedroomed house which would now benefit from modernisation and updating, but offers the perfect opportunity to provide a wonderful holiday home or main residence with plenty of space. The house could either be kept as it is, modernised/reconfigured or possibly completely redeveloped. The property is set within a large garden plot and faces south at the front, commanding fantastic views over part of Coverack village, the harbour, open sea and along the coast towards Lowland Point. The harbour and nearby beaches are a short walk away and the property benefits from having three large garages and off-street parking in front of them. 3 Ref: LCAA8141 There is a chalet within the gardens that may also offer further potential for a garden studio etc. and the tiered gardens that slope up behind the chalet, although overgrown have wonderful sub tropical plants and will enjoy even more spectacular views from the higher levels. 4 Ref: LCAA8141 LOCATION This beautiful period house occupies arguably one of the best positions in Coverack village, close to the sea front, yet elevated enough to enjoy fantastic views out over the harbour, sea and surrounding coastline. There are beaches within a short walk of the property as is the harbour providing easy access to a wide range of water sports including paddle boarding, boating, kayaking and windsurfing. The picturesque harbour often hosts fishing boats from around the coast and the moorings within the bay attract a variety of sailing craft. The windows of the house overlook this everchanging tableau together with all the wildlife that can be found on this unspoilt section of the Cornish coastline. Coverack is situated on the eastern side of the highly popular Lizard Peninsula which has long been regarded as a beauty spot of note within Cornwall. The picturesque coastline, surrounding countryside and numerous hamlets and villages give the Lizard Peninsula a distinct atmosphere of a bygone age. Because of this the area is highly prized by many locals and holiday makers alike, making it a popular area for people to escape the pressures of everyday life in order to relax in beautiful surroundings. Coverack provides day to day facilities with a post office, local shop, inn, hotel and restaurants, whilst the nearby town of Helston provides a wider array of 5 Ref: LCAA8141 shopping, leisure and commercial facilities. The county capital of Truro lies some 26 miles away and offers an extremely wide range of retail, commercial and leisure facilities together with a mainline station connecting directly to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4½ hours. There are excellent road links across county to the A30 which remains largely dual carriageway all the way northwards to Exeter where it links with the national motorway network whilst also providing easy access to the south Cornish coastal resorts of Penzance and St Ives.

Immediately in front of the 9 Ref: LCAA8141 house is a raised paved terrace providing wonderful views out over the sea, the harbour and the surrounding coastline. A stone paved path with well planted flowerbeds featuring sub tropical plants on either side, leads out to a large roof terrace above the garages which also provides wonderful sea and coastal views and has a covered eating area to one side.

  • Coverack Walk
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Coverack to Kennack Sands Starting point and OS Grid reference Coverack Harbour (SW 785182) Ordnance Survey map OS Explorer 103 – The Lizard - Falmouth and Helston Distance 8.3 miles Traffic light rating Introduction: This walk is from Coverack, a typical Cornish fishing village with an attractive harbour and beach on the eastern side of the Lizard peninsula, to Kennack Sands. Kennack Sands are an important geological site and part of the Lizard National Nature Reserve. They have been declared a Site of Special Scientific Interest. There is also an opportunity to see the Terence Coventry sculpture park if you have time but be warned, you are likely to spend longer there than you expect as it is fascinating. Parking is “on street” in Coverack but this is limited and the bulk of the parking spaces are on the northern approach to the village on the B3293, where there is an “honesty box”. There is also a pay and display car park and toilets next to it. There is also a small “honesty box” car park to the rear of the Paris Hotel (by the harbour) but chances of there being space are slim. The bar at the Paris Hotel (names after a ship which ran aground in the 19th century) provides for welcome refreshment at the end of the walk and there are other alternatives in the village. Some of this walk takes place on roads but these are quiet lanes with little traffic. Overall, this is an easy walk. There are just a couple of steepish climbs from two coves and for this reason, I have awarded the amber traffic light.

  • Cornish Mineral Reference Manual
    Cornish Mineral Reference Manual Peter Golley and Richard Williams April 1995 First published 1995 by Endsleigh Publications in association with Cornish Hillside Publications © Endsleigh Publications 1995 ISBN 0 9519419 9 2 Endsleigh Publications Endsleigh House 50 Daniell Road Truro, Cornwall TR1 2DA England Printed in Great Britain by Short Run Press Ltd, Exeter. Introduction Cornwall's mining history stretches back 2,000 years; its mineralogy dates from comparatively recent times. In his Alphabetum Minerale (Truro, 1682) Becher wrote that he knew of no place on earth that surpassed Cornwall in the number and variety of its minerals. Hogg's 'Manual of Mineralogy' (Truro 1825) is subtitled 'in wich [sic] is shown how much Cornwall contributes to the illustration of the science', although the manual is not exclusively based on Cornish minerals. It was Garby (TRGSC, 1848) who was the first to offer a systematic list of Cornish species, with locations in his 'Catalogue of Minerals'. Garby was followed twenty-three years later by Collins' A Handbook to the Mineralogy of Cornwall and Devon' (1871; 1892 with addenda, the latter being reprinted by Bradford Barton of Truro in 1969). Collins followed this with a supplement in 1911. (JRIC Vol. xvii, pt.2.). Finally the torch was taken up by Robson in 1944 in the form of his 'Cornish Mineral Index' (TRGSC Vol. xvii), his amendments and additions were published in the same Transactions in 1952. All these sources are well known, but the next to appear is regrettably much less so. it would never the less be only just to mention Purser's 'Minerals and locations in S.W.
