DESCRIPTION

• Church Cottage is a truly gorgeous, charming semi-detached home situated in one of the county’s most picturesque rural, coastal locations, where only a handful of cottages pepper the lane which descends steeply down to the cove itself and the South West Coast Path beyond.

• The current owners have undertaken a thorough and comprehensive refurbishment over the past few years including rewiring, replumbing, central heating system and boiler, rethatching, redecoration throughout, new contemporary kitchen and beautifully appointed bathroom, in addition to the general maintenance and upkeep of a period coastal Cornish cottage. Church Cottage is now found in true turnkey order and would make an ideal holiday home, investment opportunity or permanent residence. 3 Ref: LCAA8470 • Behind stone walling a picket garden gate opens through into a delightful enclosed level lawned garden spanning the breadth of the front of the house, with a painted hardwood front door giving access into the house itself. The entire ground floor has been opened up into a contemporary, spacious open-plan living space clearly defined as a cosy seating area to one end with feature fireplace and provision for a log burning stove and kitchen/dining room to the other with an arch opening through to the snug/garden room which in turn opens through to the enclosed rear garden. There is also a wc/cloaks completing the ground floor accommodation with the ground floor having underfloor heating.

• On the first floor are three good sized bedrooms, the largest of which having a walk-in storage cupboard. The beautifully appointed family bathroom has a fixed pane window in the gable end, which does enjoy a distant view down towards the sea.

• There are enclosed, level lawned gardens to both front and rear, the rear garden benefitting from a sunny southerly aspect, backing onto a working farm. Within a few hundred yards walk, you will find yourself upon the cliffs looking down into Church Cove itself with the South West Coast Path leading you northbound towards Coverack or southwards towards Lizard Point itself and around the peninsula to Kynance Cove and beyond.

LOCATION

Located above Church Cove approximately 400 yards away, Church Cottage is just a mile from the centre of Lizard Village, close to the southernmost point of the UK mainland. Church Cove itself is very highly regarded and is one of the most idyllic spots along this stretch of south Cornwall’s coastline. The cove contains just a handful of former fisherman and lifeboat cottages descending to the sea where the remains of the original lifeboat house, a private gift in 1883 and the crabbing boats are still pulled up the beach by wire ropes and a winch.

Lizard Village is an approximate 10 to 15 minute walk from Church Cottage and offers a choice of pubs, restaurants, tea rooms and shops as well as daily essentials. Walk a little further and you will come to Lizard Point, a popular spot in summer and winter 4 Ref: LCAA8470 alike to take in the views of the Atlantic Ocean hitting its first obstacle for nearly 3,000 miles. From here you can walk the coastal footpath in either direction, taking in the ever changing rugged scenery on your way to the very highly regarded National Trust Kynance Cove.

The market town of Helston lies a little over 11 miles away with its famous annual Floral Dance and provides a good range of schooling, business and retail facilities.
