3 DESCRIPTION Gorgeous period home with family sized accommodation, formerly run as a Bed & Breakfast with all 4 double bedrooms being en-suite and a handsome part slate hung and part stone façade under a pitched slate roof. Three excellent attached cottages, two of which are particularly impressive, offering 2 bedrooms each and giving the potential to create a substantial income from holiday lettings in this popular tourist area. Large south facing gardens with patios and additional side garden and rear courtyard allowing each unit to have separate areas, with the main house having the largest area of garden, amazingly not directly overlooked by the cottages. An exceedingly versatile home that should also appeal to multi generational use and as a lifestyle move. LOCATION Polkerr House and Cottages are perfectly positioned to take full advantage of one of the most dramatically beautiful areas of the Cornish coastline with a footpath on the opposite side of the road to the property leading to the church, castle and coves. The South West Coast Path leads around the stunning cliff top coastline, much of it in the ownership of the National Trust as well as descending to beaches such as Trebarwith Strand. The area is considered a tourist hotspot made all the more
