LOCATION Marazion is a well renowned beautiful coastal town fronting Mounts Bay and overlooking St Michael’s Mount itself. St Michael’s Mount is one of Cornwall’s most popular tourist attractions and can be approached at low tide over a drying causeway. The town of Marazion is well served with shops, art galleries, inns, restaurants and even a dinghy sailing club with regular racing throughout the season. Marazion has a long sandy beach to the west which is popular with walkers, kite surfers and windsurfers. A couple of miles to the west is Penzance, considered the capital of West Cornwall, where there is a large array of local and national retailers, schooling for all age groups, including the Bolitho private school and a hospital. There is a mainline rail terminus at Penzance with direct trains to London Paddington, while the A30 expressway is nearby giving quick access throughout the county and to the motorway network at Exeter. Marazion is positioned at the narrowest point in Cornwall, with St Ives Bay being around a 15 minute drive to the north. The north coast offers long sandy beaches and excellent surfing, whilst the town of St Ives is famed for its galleries found in the quaint cobbled streets surrounding the harbour. West Cornwall has a rugged beauty and there are an incredible number of stunning inland and coastal walks along with hidden and secluded coves. 4 Ref: LCAA7141 THE ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES (all floor plans and dimensions are approximate) UPPER GROUND FLOOR A flight of steps rises from the gravelled driveway to a front balcony/walkway leading to a glazed entrance door with full height windows to either side, leading into:- RECEPTION HALL – 15’5” x 7’5”.
