There are two well-proportioned, double bedrooms, each with a large bay window and a pretty, tiled, fireplace (not currently working) as a focal point. There is also a third bedroom, currently used as a dressing room. The family bathroom is fitted with large storage cupboards and a striking natural oak vanity shelf with dual basins, and a bath with shower over. There is a separate WC.

A door at the top of the stairs leads into the self-contained two-bedroom , first floor flat which also has its own access via iron steps to the side of the building. One bedroom is currently unrefurbished. There is also a large bathroom and an open plan kitchen/ diner/ lounge. The modern corner kitchen is fitted with a range of units and has an integrated electric oven and induction hob. At the centre of the lounge, there is a striking marble fireplace which has an electric 'stove' as a feature and there is a lovely large window which floods the room with natural light.

LOCATION
Mawgan-in-Meneage is an attractive little village located at the base of the Lizard Peninsula, between the Helford River and Gunwalloe. The town of Helston is just over 5 miles away and Mawgan Stores is ideally situated for serving the rural community of a number of surrounding villages and hamlets around the Lizard.

The most southerly point of mainland Britain, the Lizard peninsula is a place like no other. The sea seems a touch bluer, the light a little brighter and the land a littler flatter! The geology is unlike anywhere else in Cornwall, with rocks that formed 350 million years ago responsible for the unique landscape, a plateau surrounded by robust sea cliffs, here and there providing a safe haven for a small harbour or fishing village.

The Lizard peninsula provides unique opportunities for adventure with a myriad of outdoor activities on your doorstep. Whether you are into bird watching, hiking, sea kayaking or surfing, there truly is something for everyone.
