Church Cove is widely regarded as one of the most idyllic spots on the south coast of Cornwall containing an idyllic church, plus just a handful of cottages tapering down to the sea and framed by sheer, rugged cliffs. • Having been subject to much improvement during our client’s ownership including partial replacement double glazed windows, replacement composite front door, refitted shower room, garden summerhouse and a recently replaced oil fired central heating boiler – yet decoratively may benefit from some modernisation allowing any incoming purchaser to put their own stamp upon it. • Trewidden represents a charming, classical Cornish cottage set behind high stone walls and access across a beautifully planted cobbled courtyard to its painted cob elevations. The front courtyard faces in a southerly direction and enjoys the best of the morning/midday sunshine. A modern extension links the rear of the cottage to its idyllic, large rear garden which is a true place of privacy, peace and tranquillity. • Approached through the newly replaced composite front door is an entrance hallway/study which in turn gives access into a cosy sitting room with beamed ceiling and inglenook fireplace. There is a further separate dining room, refitted shower room and kitchen completing the ground floor. Both the kitchen and dining room serve the rear garden, the kitchen itself could benefit from replacement or modernisation. On the first floor there are two good sized double bedrooms, one with a storage cupboard with hanging rail and fitted shelving. • The rear garden at Trewidden is an absolute delight, profusely stocked with meandering herringbone brick pathways leading from broad paved terraces, passing cascading water features and mature planted beds and borders with a covered pergola, open level lawn and modern timber summerhouse with lighting, power and Broadband connected; all of which are peaceful, private and enclosed. 4 Ref: LCAA8375 LOCATION Located above Church Cove approximately 400 yards away, Trewidden 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 Trewidden 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 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.
