Description
In 2017 it was beautifully and sympathetically refurbished, and great care was taken to preserve original architectural fittings, such as sections of panelling, the white-washed granite fireplace in the sitting room, and exposed, white-painted ceiling beams downstairs.
Architecturally, appropriate features have been added including attractive dado-height, tongue-and-groove panelling in the sitting and dining rooms and a stone tile floor in the kitchen. The sitting and dining rooms are both a good size and well proportioned, with the latter opening out into the gorgeous kitchen / breakfast room. The sitting room has a wood burner stove siting in an inglenook. The kitchen is fitted with a two-oven AGA, farmhouse style units under polished granite work surfaces, a Belfast sink and a range of built-in electric appliances. A door leads to the veranda and the garden.
The first floor comprises three double bedrooms, all of which offer views over the garden to the countryside beyond. The principal bedroom has an ensuite shower room and a built-in wardrobe, with the other two bedrooms sharing the family bathroom. The house is fitted with double glazed, UPVC sash windows reminiscent of the original timber ones.
Internally the property has been decorated in white, with pale grey panelling and joinery, which amplifies the available natural light.
Outbuildings & Garden
Penolva Farmhouse is approached off the passing lane via a short, gravelled driveway leading to a parking area in front of the garage, which incorporates a single garage and adjacent workshop area containing an integral room with a gardener's WC.
The garden extends out in front of the house and to one side, and is enclosed by mature Griselinia hedging that affords a high degree of privacy. A richly planted, sloping border extends along the front of the house with a variety of perennials and flowering shrubs that provide colour and shape throughout the growing season.
On the southern side a flight of paved steps rises to a further, gently rising flight of gravelled steps up to a sheltered seating area with electric awning. Beside it is a level lawn with a pretty summer house in one corner, fringed on two sides by a further paved seating area.
Penolva Farmhouse is situated on a no-through lane between the small village of Paul and the historic fishing village of Mousehole, (pronounced Mowzel) on the shore of Mount's Bay on the Penwith Peninsular. Paul has a parish church and a well-regarded pub, The King's Arms, which is about a ten minute walk from the cottage. At low tide, Mousehole Harbour becomes a pretty sandy beach, and all along the harbour road and tucked away up little lanes, there are galleries, gift shops and places to eat and drink.
The village also offers a primary school, a delicatessen and 3 pubs, and was once described by Dylan Thomas as 'the loveliest village in England'. Mousehole is famous for its superb display of lights at Christmas, and attracts visitors from far and wide. The nearest town is Penzance, which is about a ten-minute drive away, and provides a wide choice of shops and local businesses including GP, dental and veterinary surgeries plus three large supermarkets.
Penzance is on the GWR rail line providing regular services London Paddington, and National Express operates services from the town's bus and coach station to London Victoria. The A30, which links to the M5 at Exeter is about 2 miles away.
Paul 0.3 mile, Mousehole 0.5 mile, A30 2.5 miles, Penzance 3 miles, Land's End 9.5 miles, Cornwall Airport at Newquay 42 miles (All distances and times are approximate).
