Chy-an-Dour Road is a long established and highly regarded private road set back from the beach which is within a few minutes’ walk of the property. The surrounding area is renowned for its beautiful sandy beaches, countryside and picturesque coastline much of which is in the ownership of the National Trust. There is a local store/sub post office, public house, renowned golf course and regular bus service at Praa Sands with, nearby, the market towns of Helston and Penzance both of which offer an excellent range of shopping, schooling, commercial and leisure facilities. A mail line rail link from Penzance leads to London (Paddington) – journey time approximately 5 hours; the A30 trunk road is within a few minutes’ driving distance and which provides rapid and easy access around and out of county, including to Newquay Airport at St Mawgan which now provides regular domestic flights to and from Gatwick Airport amongst other destinations. Praa Sands is, itself, a beautiful broad expanse of sandy beach boarded to the east and west by a dramatic coastline at Rinsey Head and Hoe Point, beyond which the South West Coast Path leads to Porthleven, Kenneggy Sands, Prussia Cove and Perran Sands etc. Situated towards the end of Chy-an-Dour Road the right hand side of the garden is a garage with area parking and front. A pathway leads through the garden up to a broad brick paviour terrace to the front and side with a further steep area of lawned garden to the rear.
