Housel Bay, The Lizard

Situated in the sought after and picturesque Housel Bay, close to Lizard Point is this detached, two bedroom bungalow.

In need of updating to realise its full potential, the property benefits from oil fired central heating and double glazing. Far reaching views can be enjoyed towards open countryside, the iconic Lizard lighthouse, rugged Cornish coastline and out to sea.

In brief, the accommodation comprises a side porch, kitchen, hall, lounge, bathroom and two bedrooms. To the outside at the front is a pleasant garden from which the coastal views can be enjoyed. The rear garden has a patio, garden, which is mainly laid to lawn, and has a useful shed. The rear garden also provides many vantage points to enjoy the fine outlook.

Housel Bay is a coveted location offering peace and tranquility yet within easy reach of The Lizard Village. Tucked away just behind The Lizard Point you will find this stunningly pretty little cove. Set at the bottom of craggy, dark serpentine cliffs is a glistening stretch of near white sand with the clearest turquoise water imaginable. The beach here is relatively sheltered, particularly considering it is within a stone's throw of the most southerly point in mainland Britain. The high cliffs also provide plenty of cover from the wind. The most southerly village in mainland Britain, The Lizard itself offers a wide range of day to day facilities, to include a primary school, butchers and public house as well as a comprehensive range of shops and eateries. The village is also within catchment for the well regarded Mullion Secondary School. Standing proud in the sea, The Lizard Peninsula presents a rugged face to the elements, yet paradoxically the climate is probably one of the warmest in Britain and home to rare and endangered plants, as well as the unique metamorphic Serpentine rock that it is famous for; here the air is crisp, clear and unpolluted by industry. With The Lizard as a base, one is well placed to access many of the delights that this part of South West Cornwall has to offer from stunning coastal walks along the dramatic cliffs of the Lizard Point, to the beautiful nearby beaches, including Coverack with its crystal clear waters, the iconic Kynance Cove and traditional fisherman's cove at Cadgwith. Wider facilities are on offer in nearby Mullion and Helston with the latter offering supermarkets as well as a range of schooling options.
