Marazion is perhaps best-known for its proximity to the island fortress of St Michael’s Mount, the two linked at low tide by an ancient, cobbled causeway. But this historic market town has much to delight those who stay awhile, including high-quality restaurants and cafes, a selection of galleries and gift shops and a safe, sandy main beach lapped by the clear waters of Mount’s Bay, one of the South West’s premier water sports locations. Less than 6 miles east, busy Penzance is home to sub-tropical gardens and the UK’s largest Art Deco saltwater lido, while idyllic St Ives is 9 miles north.
This stylish and contemporary property is in a quiet residential area just a stroll from the beach and village centre. Timber cladding to the upper level gives a barn-style look to the exterior, while inside, everything is sophisticated and finished to the highest standard, making this a holiday home which, though family-friendly, could also be ideal for two couples to share. On the ground floor, there’s a light, bright kitchen/diner with every home-from-home essential plus extras such as USB sockets. Contemporary flooring, a large L-shaped sofa and a wood burner feature in the lounge, where there’s also a Smart TV with soundbar and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that flood the room with light. A cloakroom completes the layout on this level. Upstairs, there’s a hotel-like sense of luxury, with two bedrooms each boasting ample storage space, a Smart TV, USB sockets and a super-king-size bed which could, if preferred, be unlinked and made up as twins instead. There’s an en-suite shower room off one of the bedrooms and a similarly styled en-suite bathroom off the other, complete with a spa bath with a rainfall shower above; both have an LED mirror, shaver socket and integrated Bluetooth speaker.
The property stands back from the roadway and has privacy fencing to the front. A gate to one side gives access into a fully-enclosed rear garden, where there’s a well-tended lawn and patio area, BBQ, table and chairs and an outdoor shower – perfect for rinsing off wetsuits and sandy feet!
