A magnificent Victorian property with spectacular views over Mounts Bay and has just been completely renovated to the highest standard and offers flexible accommodation

The majority of the rooms boast the original stripped pine floor boards, high ceilings, cornicing and there are two quite large intricate ceiling roses in the ground floor sitting room & kitchen.
