DESCRIPTION

Tol-Dhu occupies a privileged setting beside the National Trust owned Mullion Cove with exceptional views from the first floor and garden out over the harbour, cove and sea towards Mullion Island and along the beautiful rugged coastline. The property, one of a pair of properties built in 1933, sits just above the harbour where working fishing boats still land their catch inside its protected walls. The harbour fills with water at high tide and as it recedes leaves a sheltered sun trap sandy beach. This is a perfect sport for swimming, kayaking and scuba diving, whilst the leads along the surrounding cliff tops. The setting is many people’s idyllic Cornish dream, yet it is surprising rare even within the county to find anything even remotely like Mullion Cove.

Representing an amazing opportunity with scope for modernisation and alteration subject to first obtaining all necessary consents, Tol-Dhu would make an ideal main home, second home or holiday letting investment.

The availability of such opportunities in locations such as this are limited at best and accordingly, interested buyers are strongly recommended to give Tol-Dhu immediate consideration.

LOCATION

Tol-Dhu is located just above and on the edge of Mullion’s National Trust owned harbour which was completed in 1895 and financed by Lord Robartes of as recompense to the fisherman for several disastrous pilchard seasons. The harbour walls protect from the southerly winter gales and the Old Pilchard Cellar and Net Store are preserved. The area has a history of smuggling and in 1801 the King’s Pardon was offered to any smuggler giving information on the Mullion Musket Men involved in a gun fight with the crew of HM Hecate.

Much of the surrounding coastline is owned by the National Trust with wonderful walks over the headlands to nearby Polurrian and Poldu Coves, where there is an excellent golf course. Lizard Point, the most southerly mainland point in Britain is a few miles away and it is just a short drive to the eastern side of Peninsula to access the wonderful safe sailing waters of the where large yachts can be kept. Helford village has an active sailing club and thatched waterside inn and there are many other historic inns in the surrounding countryside. 4 Ref: LCAA7594

About a mile away is Mullion itself which has a wide array of shops, restaurants, services and schooling. About ten minutes’ drive to the north is the larger market town of Helston set around historic leat lined streets and here there is a full range of professional services, commercial facilities, schooling to college level, a sports centre and out of town superstores. There are various easily accessed train stations on the to London Paddington line and the A30 Expressway which runs throughout Cornwall gives mostly dual carriageway access to the motorway network at Exeter.
