This elegant Cornish hideaway is just what the doctor ordered. On a complex, enjoy the shared amenities like the pool, sauna, tennis courts and landscaped grounds of this converted former manor house. Artfully fusing comfortable modern living and convenience with original features and a dab of grandeur, you have every creature comfort at your disposal. What’s more, it’s in an excellent location, rural but within 2 miles of Penzance.
This ground-floor apartment is bright and airy, affording oodles of space. Thoughtfully kitted out, it’s a wonderfully cosy and comfortable bolthole. Stunning period features include high ceilings, exposed stonework and warm wood floors, giving it a really charming feel. Keep dog towels and outdoor gear in the handy private entrance hall. The open-plan lounge/diner/kitchen is a fabulous space with each area working well in isolation and together. The kitchen is slightly raised up two steps but you can cook in here and chat to your partner in the lounge. The double bedroom is flooded with light and overlooks the garden, making it a wonderfully calm space. Outside, explore the lovely shared gardens with your canine chum, as well all the other facilities.
During high season, the clubhouse even provides food and drink if you fancy a break from self-catering. But, if you fancy getting out, stroll Penzance Prom, people-watch at the harbour, check out its art galleries and independent shops. Admire the feat that is the Minack Theatre (11.5 miles), a working theatre hewn into the rock. While you’re ticking Cornish musts off the list, don’t forget a trip over the causeway at low tide to St Michael’s Mount from Marazion (4 miles).
