Description
The property was built circa 1850 of stone with the extension at the rear being built circa 1910. There are slate tiles on the roof and the property is warmed by a wood burner in the living/dining room. The hot water is heated via an immersion tank which is housed in the airing cupboard.
To the front of the property there is room for a bench to sit and enjoy the evening sunshine. To the rear is an enclosed courtyard with two useful outbuildings and space for a table and chairs.
The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty, with the stunning coastline just a short stroll away with leisurely walks along the scenic footpaths that wind through the countryside. The Lizard is renowned for its charming local shops, delightful cafes, and friendly community, ensuring that all essential amenities are within easy reach.
Kynance Terrace offers a unique blend of comfort and charm in one of Cornwall's most sought-after locations. Embrace the opportunity to make this delightful house your new home and experience the beauty of The Lizard every day.
The Lizard village is Britain's most southerly village, a thriving coastal community throughout the year and has two pubs, a junior school (the nearest secondary school is in the village of Mullion), shops, cafes, doctors surgery, garage, post office, galleries, restaurants, newsagent, football club, barber and church. The local area has some of the most dramatic coastlines the UK has to offer and is hugely popular with ramblers seeking this iconic destination. Arrive at the Lizard Green and one can walk west, south or east following the land until it stumbles into the ocean. Watch boats of all descriptions nearing the land and coastline, made safe by the mighty Lizard lighthouse which is a world renowned landmark. From Kynance Cove to Lizard Point to Housel Bay and Church Cove, you will be thrilled by the spectacular marine views. The ancient market town of Helston which is the gateway to the Lizard peninsula is approximately twelve miles away and offers national supermarkets, senior schooling, sports centre and a general eclectic array of shops etc.
