2 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Communal entrance hall, stairs to:- Second Floor: entrance hall, sitting/dining room, kitchen, bedroom 1, shower room. Third Floor: bedroom 2. DESCRIPTION A well appointed, charming and tasteful conversion created from this attractive stone building, offers spacious two bedroom accommodation over two floors, with all the main rooms enjoying lovely views out over St Michael s Mount, Mounts Bay and the surrounding coastline. The generous accommodation in the apartment retains many character features such as vaulted ceilings with exposed A-frame trusses and beams and exposed stonework. The accommodation is arranged on the second and third floors with a communal entrance and stairs ascending to the second floor off which a communal hallway runs along the back of the building accessing the front door to the apartment. The apartment s entrance hall has doors off to the sitting/dining room, kitchen, bedroom 1 and the shower room. The large sitting/dining room has a high vaulted ceiling with exposed A-frame trusses and bedroom 2 is galleried above the living area. The living room has twin opening doors flanked by large windows opening onto a Juliet balcony and providing panoramic views out over Mounts Bay, St Michael s Mount and the surrounding coastline. The main living area is open-plan to a well equipped kitchen fitted with cream units and an excellent range of integrated appliances with wood effect worktop surfaces, glass upstand and concealed pelmet lighting with LED lighting to the kick boards. From the hallway a staircase ascends to the second bedroom which is set into the eaves, galleried above the living area and has a large conservation style skylight window providing lovely views out over the bay. LOCATION Wharf House is situated on the inward side of the promenade road that runs along Penzance s seafront which is home to some of Penzance s more impressive original buildings, some of which were residential and some associated with the fishing industry. There is also a LIDO swimming pool and opposite the apartment a car park and marina. This apartment enjoys some lovely views across the car park and marina to Mounts Bay, St Michael s Mount and miles of the surrounding coastline. The apartment building is one street away from Penzance s high street and thus within easy reach of all its widespread amenities including a variety of shops, cafés restaurants and local inns. Penzance has a bustling thriving community with a mainline rail link to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4½ hours. There are excellent beaches in the vicinity at Long Rock, Marazion, Perran Sands, Karneggy Sands and Praa Sands following the coast to the east. To the west are the picturesque
3 fishing villages of Newlyn and Mousehole, the latter being famous for its Christmas lights display. One of the main advantages at this end of the county is that both the north and south coasts are within easy reach and therefore the lovely sandy beaches on the Atlantic coast over and around St Ives are a short drive away. This area holds many of Cornwall s hidden gems with the Land s End peninsula having a distinct feel of a time gone by, having remained largely untouched with delights such as the Minnack Theatre to be discovered which holds theatrical events through the summer season. Penzance is located near the end of the dual carriageway sections of the A30 (Cornwall s main arterial road) and therefore enjoys swift access out of county all the way northwards into Devon, where at Exeter, the A30 joins the national motorway network.
