LOCATION

The property is found in the heart of St Just, ‘the last town in England’, where there is a wide range of day to day facilities including restaurants, inns, shops and services. About 10 minutes’ drive away is Penzance, an historic port town that overlooks Mounts Bay and has a full range of local and national retailers including supermarkets and both private and state schooling. Penzance is at the end of the Penzance to Paddington railway line with direct trains to London taking about 5½ hours.

On clear days one can see the Isles of Scilly from the coast path. A few miles to the south is the land sandy surfing beach at Sennen and there are numerous other picturesque places to visit in the area including Zennor, Lamorna valley and cove, Mousehole harbour and the famous azure waters at Porthcurno below the cliff top Minack Theatre.
