spaces and also to allow clear views out of the large double glazed sash windows to the sea in the distance.

3 3 OId Chapel is the larger of the two properties and has two bedrooms compared to the Sunday School s three. This has suited our clients very well as they have let The Old Sunday School through Airbnb either as a standalone holiday let or for bed and breakfast use which has made this property self financing and has generated an income. The layout in The Old Chapel is most intriguing, with one large open-plan room under a 17 high barrelled ceiling with the accommodation then built over three split levels to provide more intimate spaces and also to allow clear views out of the large double glazed sash windows to the sea in the distance. The lowest level forms an L of areas providing reception, study, dining and a snug in front of a huge granite fireplace with a recently replaced multi fuel stove. A few steps rise up to a generous sitting room and just above this is a fitted kitchen and a breakfast area created from church pews which is positioned to make the most of the outlook. An L-shaped landing leads to two double bedrooms that share half of the barrelled ceiling each and there is also a hall come utility and bath/shower room on the ground floor. The Old Sunday School has its own front door, lobby and then another large open-plan kitchen/living space again under a high ceiling with large sash windows. Off this is a shower room and a principal bedroom with a fitted double bed under a mezzanine dressing area that makes the most of the very high ceiling. A fitted wall ladder then rises to a sliding gate opening into what has been used as a single bed in a cubbyhole but this would also be perfect for storage. The other two bedrooms are smaller but equally as quirky with one of them having a sideways sliding sash window borrowing light from one of the large windows over the living room and the other having a fitted cabin style single bed with bookshelving at the foot. Both of these rooms also have roof windows and painted wood boarding providing even more character.

This area is very popular with walkers enjoying the South West Coast Path, cyclists and holidaymakers which makes this property ideal for those looking for an income as well as a home.

LOCATION The coastal village of Pendeen is about a mile from Portheras Cove which is one of a few good sized beaches in the area and sits below Pendeen Lighthouse. A little known beach, it is revered by local surfers, although in calmer conditions it is ideal for families. The South West Coast Path leads away from Portheras Cove giving dramatic cliff top walks over National Trust owned land with views that have inspired artists for generations.

5 5 The village of Pendeen is one of the most westerly in the British Isles and is well served for its size with a very good shop, two public houses serving food, a fish & chip takeaway, post office, hall, church, nursery and a farmers market every other week.
