LOCATION
Situated on the approaches to Coverack and set well back from the road, the cottage enjoys a high degree of privacy and yet is just a short distance from the village. Coverack is a highly regarded community built around a pretty harbour and with a beautiful sandy beach. The village boasts a popular public house and general stores as well as a primary school. Secondary schooling is available at nearby Mullion and the market town of Helston is approximately nine miles away with it more extensive schooling, shopping and banking. The village of St Keverne is approximately two miles away. Situated on the eastern coast of the Lizard Peninsula, Coverack is the perfect starting point for exploring the local beaches, coastal footpaths and stunning inland scenery and the day sailing waters of the Helford River are also close at hand.
THE PROPERTY
Content Farm is the archetypal quaint Cornish cottage. Set in beautiful gardens with an array of mature shrubs and trees and a large pond, the cottage is approached via a lane leading to an attractive courtyard surrounded by the principle property, the chalet and a garage. Internally, the property, although tastefully modernised, still retains a good deal of character and charm.
