Although rural, the property enjoys easy access to both the north and south Cornish coastlines as it sits on England’s western most peninsula which has rugged cliff top walks and broad sandy beaches with Atlantic swells coming in to the north coast and the softer south coastal resorts such as Lamorna and Penzance with picturesque fishing villages in between such as Newlyn and Mousehole. This is an area sought by many due to its unspoilt countryside which has changed little over the years, giving a real insight into how ancient Cornwall may have been. Penzance is approximately 10 miles away and provides the nearest conurbation with the town centre offering a variety of local trading shops and departmental stores. The busy harbour caters for pleasure craft and yachts and the town looks over the picturesque bay in the middle of which stands St Michael’s Mount. To the north is the highly popular seaside resort of St Ives with the Tate Gallery, shops, cafés, inns and restaurants in a bustling harbour town which has become renowned for its art galleries, shops and artists connections. The property enjoys easy access, through the picturesque country lanes to the A30 which then proceeds northwards past St Ives where it becomes dual carriageway, which it remains virtually all the way to Exeter where it joins the national motorway network. Penzance offers a mainline railway station with a direct line link to London Paddington (approximate travel time 4½ hours). 4 Ref: LCAA6324 THE ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES (all floor plans and dimensions are approximate) Part uPVC double glazed front door to:- ENTRANCE PORCH.
