About this property

  • The current owners converted and rebuilt the existing property in 2018 using as much of the existing granite and materials as possible. Externally it has granite and half rendered walls, a slate roof, galvanised gutters and downpipes making it a very attractive family home. The property benefits from ground source heating with underfloor heating on both levels.

    Steps lead down from the parking area to an oak & glass double height entrance hall with a quite superb suspended oak and glass staircase leading to the first floor.
    To the right off the hall are three double bedrooms, two of which are dual aspect and the family bathroom which has a modern white suite and a walk in rain shower.
    Also off the hall is a utility room, with access to the rear garden via a stable door. The utility has plumbing for both a washing machine and dishwasher along with space for a tumble drier, base units and a Belfast sink. The room also contains the Heat pump equipment and hot water tank.

    The kitchen dining area leads off from the hall which has a mix of freestanding and fixed wall and base units, both natural wood and painted along with a central island. There is a Classic Range oven with induction hob and space for a large free standing Fridge freezer. The room is dual aspect with windows overlooking both the front and rear gardens. There is an exposed brick wall in the dining area with an imaginative built in wine rack. An original “barn” sliding door opens in to the downstairs reception room or Snug. This has a vaulted ceiling with central oak beam, Velux window, exposed brick and granite feature wall with recessed fireplace and patio doors leading out in to the garden.

    At the top of the stairs is a large open landing with a vaulted ceiling and a window overlooking the rear garden which the current owners use as an office. To the right is the principal bedroom; this is a large dual aspect room with views out over the front and rear gardens, a vaulted ceiling with a central oak beam and a Velux and oak flooring. The ensuite bathroom is enormous also with a vaulted ceiling with a central oak beam and a Velux. It has a limestone floor, dual sinks, copper and tin freestanding bath and large walk in rain shower. Also off the landing is a cloakroom with white sanitary ware and limestone flooring. To the left is the main reception room. This has a vaulted ceiling with “A” frame oak beams and French oak flooring, a woodburner on a slate hearth and windows overlooking both the front and rear. The views out to the rear are quite superb and due to the height of the windows have been maximised for when seated on the sofa.

Local information

  • Cornwall's unique character comes from its historic landscape and some 400 miles of spectacular coastline. Ruan Minor is two miles away and has an independent village store and Post Office, offering local produce sourced from the surrounding area, along with a community Café. Mullion, only a four miles away, is the largest village situated on the Lizard Peninsula and boasts a number of quality pubs, cafes, an outstanding secondary school and an excellent golf course. Lizard Village is only 3 miles away and is the most southerly settlement on the British mainland. There is an excellent primary school, a number of active social clubs, three pubs, several local cafes and a superb butchers arranged around the village green and surrounded by National Trust land. Both Cadgwith Cove and Lizard village are popular with holidaymakers and residents alike.
  • The Lizard Peninsula is renowned for its scenery, flora and fauna. Much of the coastline is protected by the National Trust and the surrounding countryside is classified as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, characterised by towering serpentine cliffs, magnificent beaches and pretty fishing villages. The Lizard's varied strata and microclimate allow 600 species of flowering plant, nearly a quarter of all UK species, to thrive here, including Cornish Heath, found nowhere else in Britain.
  • The market town of Helston is 10 miles away and has a wide range of shopping and schooling facilities, whilst the cathedral city of Truro, approximately 24 miles away, is the municipal centre of the county. Travel links to the area are good, with the Lizard being served by wide roads and the A30 providing dual carriageway access through Cornwall from the M5 at Exeter. There are mainline railway stations at Redruth and Truro and Cornwall Airport (Newquay), offers both domestic and international locations.
