Coverack, Lizard Peninsula

SETTING THE SCENE

The charming village of Coverack is a small fishing community perched on the south-eastern shore of the Lizard Peninsula, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the south Cornish coast.

Cornwall's unique character comes from its historic landscape, spectacular coastline and secret coves. Perhaps more than any other part of the county, the Lizard Peninsula embodies these qualities, with its long coastline jutting out into the Western Approaches to the south of Cornwall and being blessed with some of the most beautiful beaches and crystal blue waters for some of the best diving, fishing and surfing in the UK.

Plenty of good walks are quite literally on the doorstep along the coastal path where hidden beaches, wildlife, flora and rocky outcrops provide spectacular scenery. Coverack Bay is a true nature's playground famed for watersports, with the Windsurfing Centre offering hire, lessons and a range of other activities. There is a wonderful village primary school and the parish Doctor's surgery is located nearby in St Keverne. Wander into the hub of the village for coffee or food at The Paris Hotel or one of the quaint cafes. There are many brilliant eateries nearby, with Roskilly's farm and restaurant (famed for it's ice cream), the local's favourite The Greenhouse, and the marvellous New Yard restaurant and Flora cafe at Trelowarren Estate (run by husband and wife team, Tim Spedding and Louise Roedkjaer Spedding), all just a short drive away. There are several supermarkets at nearby Helston, the 'gateway' to the Lizard Peninsula.

THE TOUR

Situated in an elevated position amidst generous grounds, Penglas is located in a quiet cul-de-sac in Coverack, just an easy stroll to the Harbour, local amenities, and the coast path yet set back from the hustle and bustle at the heart of the village. Approached via a sweeping drive, the house - which was extensively renovated in 2010 by the current owners - is well proportioned with light interiors, considered layout and windows that perfectly capture the views across the bay and beyond. Downstairs there is an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room along with a large living room, shower and useful utility spaces. A staircase rises to a large landing with a principal suite, 2 further bedrooms and a family bathroom arranged neatly around. Accompanying the main house is a thoughtfully appointed 1-bedroom annexe, which sits above a large garage and workshop space.

STEP OUTSIDE

The gardens have been beautifully landscaped and planted, with colourful shrub borders and a sun-drenched wraparound terrace that leads onto areas of lawn and even a pond in the front. A collection of vegetable beds and greenhouses lie to the rear, along with attractive storage sheds that lie neatly dotted around the grounds. The house is accompanied by a separate garage and workshop, and there is a large driveway in front of the property, that provides private parking for several cars/boats.
