DESCRIPTION

The Old Vicarage is found in The Coombe, Newlyn, enjoying a southerly aspect looking across and down the valley. The position is delightful with the elegant church next door, leafy surroundings and the river that connects Drift Reservoir to the sea flowing below the boundary. A level lawned garden is found to the south of the house and is overlooked by the principle reception rooms and there is also a much larger area of garden that is currently wild but has great potential to be a further lawn or landscaped as this sheltered valley warmed by the sea should prove ideal for specimens. A steep driveway gives access into a generous parking area and to the integral garage. 3 Ref: LCAA6288

Inside this wonderful building has high ceilings, arched doorways, ornate tessellated and wooden floors as well as fireplaces and huge windows with architraves and shutters along with other mouldings. Work is needed to decorate and revitalise the interior but once completed there will be very few properties in the area that will be able to compare to this one.

LOCATION

The Old Vicarage is found in the heart of Newlyn close to the harbour and fish market and is only yards away from a good selection of shops and a beach overlooking Mounts Bay. Newlyn has day to day services and neighbouring Penzance has the widest selection of shops and facilities in the 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 are long sandy beaches which conclude at the tidal foot 4 Ref: LCAA6288 causeway to St Michael’s Mount. There are many other beaches and coves to explore 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.
