This stunning getaway is part of a converted historic building that was once a buoy store and is an ideal seaside retreat for a couple or small family. It’s located in the vibrant market town of Penzance, where you’ll find a selection of boutiques, galleries, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Wander about 100 metres down the road to take a dip in the open-air Jubilee Pool, or hop on a boat from the harbour, also just a few metres away, for a sea safari – keeping an eye out for seals and dolphins. This property is also opposite the Scillonian Ferry dock which makes it a great base for day tripping to the Isles of Scilly. The beautiful fishing village of Mousehole is just 3 miles, while the magical St Michael’s Mount, an inhabited island with a castle reached via a ferry boat or causeway, is only 4 miles (from Marazion). The popular town of St Ives, where you’ll find more shops and places to eat, plus no less than seven beaches, is only 8 miles away.
Take the shared staircase to the first floor of this impressive period building and enter the hallway of your apartment. Inside, you’ll find lovely high ceilings, sash windows and panelled wooden doors, and a beautifully calm, monochrome colour scheme that really sets the mood for a restorative getaway. The open-plan living space is dual aspect, and includes a lounge area with a corner sofa, a sleek corner kitchen that offers everything you’ll need for convenient holiday cooking, and a dining area where you can enjoy leisurely meals together. The king-size bedroom has an en-suite shower room that features a fabulous drench shower, while the twin room has the use of an equally beautiful family shower room.
While there is no dedicated outdoor space for this apartment, you’ll have the convenience of gated parking for one car, and you’re just steps away from Penzance’s promenade which forms part of the South West Coast Path, perfect for invigorating walks in the fresh sea air.
