SITUATION Coverack is a picturesque fishing village on the south-eastern coast of the Lizard Peninsula, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty renowned for its scenic coastline, hidden coves and spectacular rural landscapes. A thriving fishing community, the village offers a charming mix of a working harbour, cafés, pub, restaurants and watersports, with the Coverack Windsurfing Centre providing a range of activities on the sheltered bay. The South West Coast Path is a short stroll away, offering wonderful walks through a landscape of rugged cliffs and secluded coves. The wider Lizard Peninsula is famed for its beautiful beaches, including Kennack Sands, Kynance Cove, Porthoustock and Porthallow, while the wooded creeks of the Helford River are also within easy reach.
With a village primary school, health centre, local amenities and a good selection of places to eat nearby, including Roskilly's, The Greenhouse and Flora on the Trelowarren Estate, Coverack is a wonderfully positioned base from which to enjoy one of Cornwall's most unspoilt and characterful areas.
THE MAIN PROPERTY Occupying an elevated position within a short walk of the village centre, Penglas is a substantial detached coastal home commanding wonderful panoramic views across the bay and out to sea. Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, the property is approached via a sweeping shared driveway and set within generous gardens and grounds, which also enjoy the fabulous coastal outlook. The property has been our client's home since 2007 and, following a renovation in 2010, now offers beautifully presented accommodation filled with natural light. The house is generally accessed from the rear into a useful utility room, with a shower room and cloakroom adjoining.
The spacious principal living area has been thoughtfully designed to take full advantage of the sea views, with windows overlooking the bay and direct access onto a broad, raised sun terrace. The kitchen is fitted with a range of Shaker-style units, complemented by an oil-fired Rayburn and walk-in larder. Completing the ground floor is a triple-aspect sitting room, featuring doors opening onto a secluded rear patio and a wood-burning stove. The first floor provides three double bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite shower room, together with a four-piece family bathroom.
THE OWL HOUSE Adjacent to the house is a detached two-storey building, comprising a garage/workshop on the ground floor and ancillary accommodation above.
The first floor features a lovely open-plan living area, a double bedroom and a shower room. This versatile space is ideal for multi-generational living or accommodating visiting guests and should be used for purposes incidental to the enjoyment of the main dwelling.
OUTSIDE Principally laid to lawn, the enclosed gardens have been beautifully landscaped and planted, incorporating a choice of sunny terraces and seating areas. To the rear, there is a further area of lawn alongside a productive vegetable garden with adjoining greenhouses.
