Within the south facing garden are large shrubs, two painted timber sheds and there is a view over the wall to the sea.

Our client also has a housekeeper who would be happy to continue maintaining the cottage and carrying out changeovers should this be desirable to a new owner. LOCATION The coastal hamlet of Lower Boscaswell is adjacent to Pendeen and is about a mile from Portheras Cove which is one of a few good sized beaches in the area and sits below Pendeen Lighthouse. A little known beach, it is revered by local surfers, although in calmer conditions it is ideal for families. The South West Coast Path leads away from Portheras Cove giving dramatic cliff top walks over National Trust owned land with views that have inspired artists for generations. 4 Ref: LCAA8196 The village of Pendeen is one of the most westerly in the British Isles and is well served for its size with a very good shop, two public houses serving food, a fish & chip takeaway, post office, hall, church and nursery.

Only a few miles further on is Land’s End and the picturesque harbourside village of Sennen overlooking Whitesand Bay with views to the Isles of Scilly. The coastal road to the north leads to St Ives, one of Cornwall’s most popular seaside resorts, with many cafés, restaurants and art galleries set around its harbour and overlooking its surfing beaches. About 10 minutes’ drive away is Penzance which has the greatest range of services in West Cornwall, including supermarkets, the terminus for the Penzance to Paddington railway line, a local hospital and education up to college level.
