Lamorna, Penzance, Cornwall

Commanding a most extraordinary position in the heart of Lamorna Cove, Morsylla enjoys breathtaking sea views across the private and secluded cove and is uniquely a mere 35 metres from the beach. One of a handful of properties in this magical and undisturbed hidden corner of Cornwall, this beautiful double fronted granite home exudes all of the character and charm you’d expect from a traditional Cornish cottage, but the great proportions, space and light far exceed that and have to be seen to be appreciated.

The central entrance hall with oak flooring serves all principal ground floor rooms. To one side, there is a comfortable sitting room with central fireplace and slate hearth and across the hall, a dining room with built in storage, both showcasing the incredible view and position. The adjoining kitchen is also accessible from the rear hall, both quirky and practical whilst giving the opportunity to add your own stamp to the property. To the rear is a shower room and very useful adjoining utility/laundry room, the perfect place for wetsuits and beach going paraphernalia.

To the first floor there are three double bedrooms, two of which have breathtaking views across the cove and all boasting charming exposed original wooden floors. There is another bathroom to this level and also an access to the rear sun terrace and garden.

The delightful garden spaces are a welcome surprise for a property of this style and coastal position and serve as a tremendous extension to the home, particularly the large level lawn to the front, separated from the beach only by the tranquil stream that boarders it. This is great extra safe space just away from the beach to enjoy the sun all day with that very special view. Adjacent to which is private parking for at least two cars.

To the rear of the property is a very sweet and attractively planted garden, with a storage on the lower level and two decked sun terraces on the upper level, surrounded by mature plants, all enjoying a sheltered west facing aspect to catch the last of the afternoon sun.

Lamorna offers breathtaking scenery and some of the most rugged and undisturbed stretches of coastline in the country. Famously frequented for its beauty by so many artists during the early 20th century, Lamorna Cove has a sandy beach at low tide and is protected by granite harbour walls and rugged cliffs to either side and just up the valley there is a great local pub. Situated on the South West Coast Path between Mousehole and Porthcurno, very well known for the nearby beautiful Pedn Vounder beach, there are brilliant amenities not far away.

Nearby Penzance offers many boutique stores, bars and dining options plus a choice of shopping and schooling. The Jubilee pool is Britain’s largest seawater Lido and nearby Mounts Bay is great for windsurfing, overlooked by the historic St. Michael’s Mount. Penzance is on the mainline service to London Paddington and Newquay Airport offers daily flights to London Gatwick and international destinations.
