Location
The Lizard, England’s most southerly point, is famous for shipwrecks and renowned for its beauty and spectacular landscapes, with much of the area designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The countryside and coastline are famed for their varied animal and plant-life, geology and history, while the climate on the Lizard is often milder than the rest of the country. There are lots of footpaths both inland and coastal close to the property.
Mullion is the largest village situated on the Lizard Peninsula and is a centre for education having a nursery school, primary school and an outstanding secondary school. The village boasts a number of quality pubs, cafes and restaurants and is well served by both a Spar, COOP, a Boots pharmacy and a post office. Four beaches, the towering cliffs of Mullion Cove, a fishing harbour, Poldhu Cove with café (and Marconi Centre), isolated Polhurrian Cove and amazing Church Cove are all conveniently nearby and there is also easy access to the South West Coastal Path. The coastal path goes to the miles of sand at Loe Bar and Pool (Cornwall’s largest lake and wildlife haven) and on to the Penrose parkland. For the Golfing enthusiast Poldu Golf Club, situated on the cliffs overlooking the cove, is just two miles away.
Travel links to the area are good, served by wide roads and the A30 providing dual carriageway access through Cornwall from the M5 at Exeter. There are mainline railway stations at Redruth and Truro with a regular service to London Paddington.
Square Footage: 4,535 sq ft

Helston 8.5 - Porthleven 10 - Lizard Point 5.5 – Redruth 18 - Falmouth 24 - Truro 31 – Cornwall Airport (Newquay) 40
