DESCRIPTION Mariner s View is found in the most stunning of locations, along a private road that only leads to five properties facing south west over Housel Bay to Lizard Point and the Lizard Lighthouse framed by the sea. The view is ever changing with the weather and seasons with wild and exciting storms in the winter and warm azure waters in the summer all being visible from the property. Passing yachts, fishing boats and ships add to the spectacle, as do basking sharks and pods of dolphins. This is one of the most southerly homes in mainland Britain and also benefits from the warming influence of the sea during the winter months. On three sides of the property are National Trust owned fields that run down to the
3 South West Coast Path and from here a path leads to the quiet golden sandy beach sheltered by the headlands on either side. This truly is a remarkable setting. Bought by our clients in 2013 and believed to have been originally constructed in 1910, Mariners View has undergone a thorough renovation over the last five years which has transformed it into a superb coastal home. The original period style is still retained with 9 high ceilings in the original rooms which mostly retain their beautiful period doors as well. More modern extensions provide a good sized kitchen to the rear which now has a significant section of glazed ceiling throwing tons of light into the room. A side extension provides a study, hall and an excellent sun room with a high monopitch ceiling and extensive glazing looking over the countryside and sea. In addition, there is a dining room and a 24 long lounge with enormous sea facing windows, exposed wood flooring and a working fireplace. The bedroom accommodation is divided over two floors including two double bedrooms on the ground floor, one of which has a square bay facing the sea whilst the other overlooks the rear garden and has an en-suite shower room. Beside these bedrooms is a further modern bathroom with a separate shower enclosure. The master bedroom suite enjoys the sole use of the first floor with a huge dormer window facing out to sea and along the coastline. This bedroom also has its own en-suite bathroom and a large dressing room which has also been used as overflow bedroom accommodation when necessary. In addition to the main house there is also a detached annexe set away from the house providing each of them with privacy. This well considered building has a pitched roof providing further high ceilings to its accommodation which comprises a large reception room with services in place to add a kitchen, a bedroom and contemporary bathroom. The annexe enjoys views over countryside, over the end of the garden and also to the sea beyond the driveway. The drive provides off-road parking for numerous cars and access to a timber single garage designed for a small car. There is further off-road parking to the right hand side of the frontage and of course there are wonderful views from the front garden. To the rear is a
4 larger more sheltered garden with an open lawn, raised deck and planted beds containing many species that obviously enjoy this environment warmed by the sea. LOCATION Perched above Housel Bay, Mariners View is just a ½ mile from the centre of The Lizard village close to Lizard Point, the southernmost point of the UK mainland. In addition to the excellent public bar and restaurant at the nearby Housel Bay Hotel, Lizard village is approximately a 10-15 minutes walk away and offers a choice of pubs, restaurants, tea rooms and shops as well as the daily essentials of a grocer, butcher, newsagent and post office. Just a short walk along the coast from the property you will come to the Lizard Point, a popular spot in the summer and winter alike to take in the views of the Atlantic Ocean hitting its first obstacle after nearly 3,000 miles. From the house you can walk the coast path taking in the ever changing rugged scenery on your way with Kynance Cove to the west and Cadgwith to the east, all within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
5 The Lizard Peninsula offers a wonderfully diverse range of attractions to suit all tastes from quaint fishing villages dotted with traditional thatched cottages to Goonhilly Earth Station, once the largest satellite station in the world. To the east are the sheltered and tree lined creeks of the Helford River with a sailing club at Helford village itself. The Helford River offers safe sailing waters for smaller crafts and mooring for larger vessels who can then explore south Cornwall s coastline with Falmouth, St Mawes and Fowey within day sailing distance. The market town of Helston lies just 11½ miles away with its famous annual Flora Dance and provides a good range of schooling, business and retail facilities including superstores and high street names.
