4 For sale freehold Castle Gotha is approached down a rural lane, the last part of which is owned by the property. The property s name originates from an Iron Age Fort that is located one field away to the west, of which there are now no remains above ground, but which was excavated in The name Silvermine Cottage originates from Silvermine Point which is located on the foreshore below the property. The property extends to about 8 acres and comprises two residential dwellings, one of five bedrooms and the other of three bedrooms. Neither are Listed. In addition there are two single storey outbuildings and the land comprises two meadows of about one and half acres each and approximately five acres of woodland and scrub. The woodland runs easterly from the meadows down to the South West coast path and close to the cliff edge. The coastal footpath and cliff edge are now owned by the Cornwall Wildlife Trust. There are no footpaths over the property. One footpath crosses the approach lane and then skirts the property s western perimeter. The property lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is subject to a National Trust covenant (known as the Black Head Covenants) which forbids any development except for agricultural purposes on land formerly belonging to the deceased owner of the Penrice Estate. Consent for development can, nonetheless, under the terms of the covenant, be given by the National Trust, as happened when, in 1977 / 78, the Trust gave its approval to the present owners for the conversion of the original farm buildings to the present main house and, at a later date, gave its approval for the construction of a garage. The main house is a lovely 5 bedroom barn conversion which faces due east and is believed to be about 100 years old and converted in The front door leads directly into a spacious stair-cased hallway off which is a cloakroom and W.C. and the oil-fired condensing boiler. To the rear of the hallway is a corridor running the length of the house off which are five bedrooms, a family shower room and the kitchen. All five bedrooms and the kitchen enjoy views out across the bay. The kitchen has electric hobs and an electric oven and a lovely high ceiling. Beyond the kitchen is a utility room and backdoor that leads out to a rear patio.

5 Both ends of the house on the ground floor are single storey and there is access to each of the lofts, one loft is half boarded and one is fully boarded. The principal bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom. Stairs from the hallway lead up to the first floor open plan living room which is particularly impressive and enjoys some of the best views along the coastline from the property. It has a wood burner at one end and in the centre there are double doors that lead out to the lawn at the rear. This grass lawn area is perfect for enjoying the evening sun as it faces west. Silvermine Cottage lies a few yards from the main house and is the original residential dwelling on the property. It is believed to be at least 150 to 200 years old. From the front lawn the porch leads through to a stair-cased hallway. Off the hallway is a sitting room that was originally two rooms and has retained its original sash windows, wooden shutters and lovely original cornicing. The dining room has original granite flagstones and, again, sash windows. Beyond the dining room is a shower room at the rear. Beyond the dining room is the kitchen breakfast room which has an induction hob and electric oven. Stairs from the hallway lead up to the first floor landing off which are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have views out to sea and third bedroom is at the rear. Both properties enjoy stunning views out across to Gribbin Head and Eddystone Lighthouse. Silvermine Cottage has its own private garden at the rear which is accessed from a backdoor off the kitchen. Behind Castle Gotha is a detached double garage and there are two adjoining outbuilding between the dwellings that are currently both used as log stores. Both these barns could equally be used for livestock and both have been reroofed recently. Equally, subject to gaining the necessary planning permission they could be converted into additional accommodation. The South Cornish Coast The South Cornish Coast.
