For Sale
"Set within approximately two and a half acres of landscaped grounds, this substantial country house combines generous accommodation, strong craftsmanship and a remarkable setting, with far-reaching views towards St Michael’s Mount."
The house has been carefully designed to create a natural relationship between the principal living spaces and the surrounding gardens. At its centre is a well-appointed kitchen arranged around a substantial island, opening directly onto a sun terrace and creating an easy connection between inside and out. The adjoining sitting and dining areas provide well-balanced spaces for both everyday living and entertaining.
The accommodation is notably flexible. A ground floor bedroom suite is complemented by two substantial studies, either of which could equally serve as additional bedrooms if required. On the first floor, a vaulted sitting room enjoys panoramic views towards St Michael’s Mount and opens onto a wraparound balcony, giving the house one of its most distinctive and memorable spaces.
The principal bedroom suite is particularly generous and benefits from two en suite bathrooms, while a further guest bedroom suite provides comfortable accommodation for family and visitors.
The ancillary buildings add another strong dimension to the property. These include a dedicated pottery studio, a music and games room, and an oak-framed double carport and garage set just off the courtyard, with extensive storage above. Together, they give the house a rare level of flexibility for creative use, recreation and practical storage.
Key features
Description
Gardens & Grounds
The gardens and grounds are a particular feature, having previously opened as part of the National Garden Scheme. They are mature and well established, with sweeping lawns, broad courtyard areas, an ornamental pond and a paddock, all contributing to the sense of privacy and space.
Location
Marazion is one of Cornwall’s most sought-after coastal towns, centred around its long sandy beach and the wide sweep of Mount’s Bay. The town has a strong year-round community and offers a good range of cafés, galleries, restaurants and independent shops, all within a setting that remains closely connected to the water and surrounding coastline.
St Michael’s Mount forms the focal point of the bay and is one of Cornwall’s best-known landmarks. Linked to the mainland by its historic causeway at low tide and reached by boat when the tide is in, it provides a constantly changing backdrop to daily life in this part of west Cornwall.
The wider area is equally appealing. Nearby Penzance provides a broader range of amenities and a mainline rail connection, while St Ives is within easy reach for further beaches, galleries, restaurants and coastal walking. Together, Marazion and the surrounding coastline offer a particularly attractive balance of scenery, heritage and day-to-day convenience.
