The coastal town of Penzance, with its bustling harbour, and Marazion, the home of the iconic St Michael s Mount, are just 10 miles to the south. With vaulted ceilings and light beaming throughout, this property showcases sympathetically styled coastal colours and ambient decor. You certainly won t be disappointed.
