House For Sale £499,950
As its name implies the Old Bank House previously served as Lloyds Bank's Mullion branch whilst concurrently operating as the village post office, becoming an integral part of the local community of the day.
Today the residence provides very generously proportioned and versatile living space which is well suited to the requirements of modern day living that will appeal to discerning purchasers.
Steeped in history, The Old Bank House boasts a wealth of period features that include wonderful parquet flooring throughout the ground floor reception rooms, high ceilings, a grand staircase with a galleried landing and the elegant and truly impressive former banking hall. This has been stylishly enhanced to provide a contemporary modern kitchen area with granite work surfaces and a very spacious and sociable open plan dining area and sitting room.
A cosy snug is situated through an adjacent archway and, with a wood burning stove, would seem an ideal place to relax on those cosy winter nights. A drawing room with a further wood burning stove leads on to the sun room from which French doors lead out to the attractive paved courtyard garden. The end of terrace residence benefits from double glazing and air source heating.
A deceptive and tastefully presented period residence which is wholeheartedly recommended and should be viewed to fully appreciate the accommodation on offer.
In summary, on the ground floor, the accommodation comprises an entrance vestibule, drawing room, sun room, snug, large open plan sitting room/dining room/kitchen, utility room,and a downstairs cloakroom. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms (one en-suite), family bathroom, and cloakroom.
Mullion itself is the largest village on The Lizard Peninsula which is home to Britains's most southerly point. It is officially designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty, from sheltered valleys to moorland with superb countryside and framed by its rugged coastline.
Mullion is a bustling village offering a good range of facilities including shops, Co-operative supermarket, well regarded primary and comprehensive schools and a nursery. The village is home to an attractive harbour, a beach at Polurrian Cove, health centre and pharmacy. The Polurrian Hotel has a leisure club with indoor swimming pool and the newly refurbished Mullion Cove Hotel also has spa facilities. Nearby is the beautiful sandy beach at Poldhu and a super 18 hole links golf course.
