Our clients have been in residence for over 5 years now and during that time substantial improvements have been made including a new roof, restoration of the garage roof, new garage electric roller door, new boiler, complete external redecoration, and extensive refreshment of internal décor. The property is now presented to the market in the highest of conditions throughout and therefore worthy of the high esteem in which it is held by returning guests, which constitute between 30%-35% of the current business. The property is entered via an entrance conservatory which is a perfect area to hang coats and boots after a day on the beach or nearby coastal path. From here you enter into the light and airy entrance hallway, with recently restored original tiled floor, which provides access to the majority of the ground floor accommodation. Directly in front of you is the staircase which provides access to the first and second floors, with a useful large storage area underneath.

Location
Cornwall’s unique character comes from its historic landscape and some 400 miles of spectacular coastline. Lizard Village is the most southerly settlement on the British mainland. It is a fully functional community all year, with a number of active social clubs, three pubs, several cafés, a doctor’s surgery, post office, a superb butcher, general stores, farm shop, two churches and an excellent primary school. Arranged around the village green and surrounded by National Trust land, the village is popular with holidaymakers and residents alike. Kynance Cove, one of the best-loved beaches in the county, is two miles to the west, with Landewednack Beach within a mile; to the north-east the pretty fishing village of Cadgwith lies some three miles distant, while more varied shopping and dining facilities can be found in Mullion, which also hosts an outstanding secondary school, around five miles north-west.

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.
