DESCRIPTION

• The availability of The Salt House represents an incredibly rare and exciting opportunity to acquire one of the very few properties located close to the harbour in the old part of the village with both garage and 2 freehold parking spaces.

• The Salt House as the name suggests was originally a pilchard salting house converted, we understand, in the mid-1990’s from two self-contained apartments into one house.

• The property is still perfect habitable and can function either as one 2 double bedroomed house or converted back into two individual apartments (one on each floor) however, the property offers huge scope for further improvement, redevelopment/refurbishment, such is the nature of the location.

• From the first floor in particular the property enjoys stunning far reach views over and in between roof tops to Sennen Cove, across to Gwenver, Aire Point and Cowloe Island.

• The property is accessed through the private lifeboat station car park which culminates at the property with two freehold tarmaced parking spaces plus attached single garage.

3 Ref: LCAA7050 • Large rear garden, again unusual for this part of the village with pedestrian access onto Stone Chair Lane, currently laid with an eye to low maintenance with gravelled terraces but offering great potential.

• Sold with immediate vacant possession, no onward chain.

The scarcity of opportunities to acquire detached character properties with parking and garaging in this part of Sennen Cove cannot be overemphasised and therefore early viewing is strongly advised to prevent disappointment.

LOCATION

The Salt House is located right in the heart of the harbourside village of Sennen Cove just 100 yards from the seafront but away from the hustle and bustle and traffic of the main street. The village itself is one of Cornwall’s most beautiful coastal villages and has various shops, galleries, grocery stores, a post office as well as a popular primary school with secondary education nearby at St Just and private educational facilities in . Between Penzance and St Just there are a range of facilities, shops and professional services with Penzance having a hospital and also a railway terminus to Paddington main line only 15 minutes’ drive away.

• DOCTORS AND DENTISTS – There are a wide range throughout the nearby harbourside town of Penzance.

• LOCAL CAFÉS AND PUBLIC HOUSES – Sennen Cove has a world renowned public inn called The Old Success Inn which sits overlooking the cove. In addition, there are a good number of restaurants and cafés which run along the seafront serving food all year round.

• THINGS TO DO – With the 1½ mile long Whitesand Bay being just a short walk away from the property, the area is a watersports paradise and popular with surfers, kitesurfers and windsurfers along with fishing boats and small sailing boats launching from behind the protected wall of Sennen Cove harbour. Gwenver to the north end of the beach picks up more swell than most beaches in the county and can be one of the only places to have usable surf when the rest of the county has none.

• NEARBY WALKS – The area surrounding the property is some of Cornwall’s most rugged and beautiful with fantastic walks along the along the National Trust owned headlands. About 2 miles away is Lands End and there are many smaller coves and beaches to explore nearby. To the south is with 4 Ref: LCAA7050 the iconic Minack open air theatre, whilst the pretty harbourside village of Mousehole and the wooded valley of Lamorna are also nearby.
