Accommodation overview: Located within the picturesque wooded Lamorna Valley and just a mile from the tiny harbour at Lamorna Cove, this recently extended, traditional semi detached granite cottage is set in a beautiful and relaxing mature country garden. Built in 1890 and thoughtfully renovated to retain a great deal of character including antique furniture and deeply recessed sash windows, this is an ideal location with easy access to both the Minack Theatre and St Michael's Mount.
Approached from a parking bay with ample space for two cars, a gated path and one step leads up to a sheltered sun terrace with garden table and chairs and from here, patio doors open directly into a pleasantly fitted kitchen/dining room. A rustic dining suite in the centre of the room has views over the informal garden and in one corner, three steps lead up to a bathroom W.C. with hand basin and electric shower over the bath and a utility room with laundry facilities and access to a small service yard.
In the original part of the cottage, a warm and cosy sitting room has rugs on the pine floorboards, comfortable seating arranged around a granite chimney breast and a window overlooking the terrace and garden. A wooden staircase leads up to the first floor landing. On one side is a twin bedded room with tranquil views from dual aspect windows, and on the opposite side, three steps lead down to the master bedroom with a 5ft double and an adjacent shower room W.C. with hand basin.
The garden which extends around two sides of the property has a raised terrace which catches the sun all day and a couple of rustic steps that lead down to the grassy garden and a fire-pit for summer evenings. Although enclosed and an ideal place for older children to explore, toddlers will require supervision as there are some unguarded drops. The owner’s artist studio is adjacent to the cottage and is accessed via the same pathway.
A bridleway at the rear of the property leads to the local pub, The Wink, 1 mile away, and continues down to Lamorna Cove where there is The Cove Hotel for restaurant dining, a small sandy beach at low tide adjacent to the harbour and a seasonal café. St Buryan, 3 miles, has a church, village store, P.O., pub and garage and for a wider selection of amenities, the seaside town of Penzance is less than 5 miles away.
There are stunning cliff walks along this dramatic coastline both east and west, particularly the ten mile stretch from Lamorna to Lands End with numerous ancient sites to explore. It is also an excellent base for exploring the west of Cornwall by car and an easy drive to Penzance, Mousehole, Porthcurno and Marazion all within a 15 minute drive and only a little further to Sennen Cove and St Ives.
