DESCRIPTION Set in an extremely desirable location within easy reach of Church Cove at Gunwalloe and the coastal footpath. This beautiful range of former stone barns and the farmhouse have been sumptuously refurbished, in keeping with their age and character, in a delightful, peaceful, rural setting within around 1½ acres of gardens and meadow. The four bedroom double fronted stone farmhouse has been refurbished and used as a holiday home by the 3 Ref: LCAA6763 current owners whilst the four barns of mixed sized have been skilfully remodelled, beautifully furnished and decorated and are used as holiday cottages, providing a good income. The property is available as a freehold with the majority of the furniture, furnishings, business goodwill and ongoing bookings available by separate negotiation. The current income achieved has scope to be improved if the farmhouse were not required for exclusive use, as that could be holiday let also. The farmhouse and barns are located at the end of half a mile of private road that leads to Lower Tregiddle and two other properties, this forms a very attractive approach through open fields and the entire complex occupies an elevated position that provides some lovely southerly and westerly views out over open countryside to the sea in the distance. All of the barns have their own private garden areas, as does the farmhouse. The presentation throughout is tasteful and all of the properties are presented in good decorative order throughout having very evidently been cared for and the chance to buy such an attractive complex in such a delightful and sought after near coastal position, makes this an opportunity not to be missed. 4 Ref: LCAA6763 LOCATION Gunwalloe Church Cove is situated on the beautiful and picturesque Lizard Peninsula, the southern most tip of England, Gunwalloe faces south west into Mounts Bay enjoying the best of the daily sun and comprises a long strip of sandy beach providing excellent bathing and surfing under certain conditions. To the north west, lies an interesting geographical feature called Loe Pool and Bar which is an inland fresh water lagoon separated from the sea by a narrow sand spit on which semi precious stones can be found on occasion. The South West Coastal Footpath provides beautiful walks to the north west following the coast, passing local beaches at Praa Sands and Kenneggy, eventually culminating in the village of Marazion and the town of Penzance. To the south lie beautiful beaches at Poldhu Cove and Mullion Cove the latter also having an excellent golf course.
