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.

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.
