The Views
This unique property is bordered by National Trust Land to the rear, thus meaning the spectacular vistas are 'protected'. Mere photography does not do justice to the mesmeric coastal views which include St Just creek (with its picturesque waterside church), Messack Point, the mile-wide Carrick Roads (Fal Estuary), to Mylor Yacht Harbour and across miles of surrounding Cornish Countryside. The Old School House enjoys ever-changing views, from ambling oyster boats, yachts racing, water skiers, canoes, kayaks, and an abundance of marine wildlife to inspiring and relaxing Cornish sunsets.
History
Formerly a Church of England school, this Grade II Listed private home was built circa 1850. The original building, which now forms the spacious lounge, is built in natural stone with granite quoins to a scantle slate roof. The double doors to the 4 centred door frame have iron fittings with fleur-de-lis finials. Since 1991, three modern extensions have been added to the original structure, the last dated in 2007, now the property's principal bedroom. In 2008, planning permission was granted to replace the non-original casement windows with new traditional flash fit double glazed timber windows. Most recently, a wood burner was installed in the minster fireplace in the lounge.
