Currently operating as a distinguished guest house, this remarkable property also lends itself effortlessly to a splendid family home.

The property is complemented by extensive parking, meticulously manicured gardens, and sweeping rural vistas from the majority of the principal rooms. All of this is set within the breathtaking environs of the Lizard Peninsula, renowned for its natural beauty and close proximity to a host of superb amenities.
This Edwardian residence, commanding in both stature and design, is characterized by generously proportioned rooms that radiate timeless elegance. Upon entry, you are greeted by an inviting lounge currently utilised as a residents' dining area, setting the tone for the rest of the home. Beyond lies a well-appointed kitchen, accompanied by the owners’ living quarters, comprising a dining room, a cosy lounge, a practical utility room, and an opulent en-suite bedroom, all forming the ground-floor accommodation.
Ascending to the first floor, there are four double bedrooms, three of which are en-suite, with three of these currently let by the present owners.
