DESCRIPTION

Fairhaven is a classic granite cottage believed to have been a former chapel of rest and pilchard store and understood to date back to the late 18th Century. The home has been in the current ownership for about 30 years and has at one time been used as two separate units but in its current configuration provides flexible and characterful accommodation with superb panoramic views over Newlyn harbour, Mounts Bay, St Michael’s Mount and along the coastline beyond.

Whilst the property would certainly benefit from some cosmetic updating and improvement it has a lovely character feel about it with a wealth of features that make this a lovely opportunity to create a wonderful family or holiday home. There is external access to both the ground and first floors evidencing its previous use as two separate units. On the ground floor there are three bedrooms, two to the front with views towards the harbour and sea – one of these with a doorway to the front terrace. There is an inner hallway with 3 Ref: LCAA8374 spiral staircase to the first floor, a bath and shower room to the rear and a small kitchenette/utility room which also has a separate shower and wc to either side of it.

At first floor level the main reception room is L-shaped and of a super size with windows to the side and lovely large doorways to the front to enjoy the views. The current owners sought and obtained planning permission for the construction of a balcony to the front of the property which would significantly improve the house. It should be noted that this planning permission was granted in 1993 and as a technical start was made this permission is now in perpetuity.

To the front of the house and at ground floor level there is a terrace from which to sit out and enjoy the views over the harbour and to the coastline beyond.

LOCATION

Fairhaven is situated very much in the heart of the village in an elevated position right above the harbour with a pedestrian pathway leading to the side of the house down towards the harbour and the water.

Newlyn has a very active harbour and fish market as well as a good selection of shops and a beach overlooking Mounts Bay. Newlyn has an ever improving range of services including an excellent delicatessen, grocer, various restaurants and inns and the recently opened and acclaimed Newlyn Film House cinema. Penzance has the widest selection of shops and facilities in west of Cornwall including a full range of schooling, museums, a hospital, supermarket and many well known high street retailers.

A couple of miles to the south of Newlyn is the picturesque harbourside village of Mousehole and beyond this is Lamorna Cove made famous by its potters. Newlyn is well known for its fishing fleet but also for the Newlyn School of Art and is still regarded as an artists’ hub today with many studios and galleries throughout the town. Between Penzance and Marazion are long sandy beaches which conclude at the tidal foot causeway to St Michael’s Mount. There are many other beaches and coves to explore 4 Ref: LCAA8374 around the local area as well as the South West Coast Path and many inland walks through beautiful rugged countryside. To the north are the surfing beaches around St Ives, also renowned for its artists community and access to the area is excellent either by road on the A30 expressway which is mostly dual carriageway all the way to the motorway network at Exeter, or via train from Penzance where there is a mainline terminus.
