We're thrilled to say that this historic home benefits from a central location in the nation's southernmost port town. Less than half a mile away from the sands of Porthleven Beach, why not spend your afternoon strolling around the harbour – where laidback cafes, seafood restaurants, and art galleries await? Or, you could explore the Lizard Peninsula further by car, all while enjoying picture-perfect scenery in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. From the moment you step inside, prepare to fall in love with the traditional interior design. Respectfully renovated in every room, this place is packed with original features – just open your curtains to reveal divine arched windows. Wander into the stony kitchen-diner and serve a full English breakfast by the fire. When you return from a busy day of sightseeing, you might want to soak your feet in this bathtub, then enjoy a barbecue dinner on your lawn. Nights in can only mean one thing – lounging on these leather sofas with a glass of wine.
