An exceptionally well presented stylish three bedroom detached house which exudes quality throughout and should be viewed to fully appreciate all that is on offer.

Situated in the coastal hamlet of Kuggar on the more sheltered side of the renowned Lizard Peninsula, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the residence is located moments away from the popular beach and surf of Kennack Sands.

Seldom do we see properties presented to such an exacting standard with flawless presentation, attention to detail and an abundance of quality fitments throughout.

Thoughtfully conceived and deceptively spacious the residence has an open plan living space that is light filled and welcoming - the perfect sociable backdrop for entertaining and family gatherings. The lounge boasts a contemporary wood burning stove for those cosy nights in front of the fire. A beautifully appointed kitchen is sure to find favour, having an array of high quality appliances including a neff induction hob and ‘slide and hide’ oven. These are complemented by timeless white ‘metro’ style tiling, under counter lighting, together with bespoke corner carousel units and four glass display cupboards.

Warmed by electric underfloor heating through the flagstone flooring on the ground floor, further refinements include oak latched doors, bespoke Hammonds under stairs storage drawers with a versatile walk in cupboard and attractive recessed spotlighting.

A fabulous, locally crafted, staircase rises invitingly to the first floor, with wood flooring and a lovely Velux skylight enabling light to flood in. The family bathroom is luxuriously appointed with a striking tiled feature wall and a fabulous walk-in shower.

Boasting three bedrooms, two of which are comfortable dual aspect double bedrooms, with one having a nicely appointed en suite, the ‘piece de resistance’ is the hand crafted balcony with glass balustrades. Accessed through inviting French doors, the balcony enjoys a sunny outlook towards the sea and the Poltesco Valley, as well as views across neighbouring countryside towards Ruan Minor and Grade Ruan Church beyond. A perfect place to sit out and relax with a morning coffee or evening tipple.

An ‘Oltco’ resin driveway affords parking for a number of vehicles and leads on, beyond bespoke gates, to a further parking area and courtyard style garden which enjoys a sunny aspect and good degrees of privacy. Practicalities are catered for by an electric car charging pod, a shed with power and light, an outside tap and area to store recycling and refuse bins.

The accommodation in brief comprises an entrance porch, hallway, cloakroom and an open plan dining room/kitchen/lounge. On the first floor are three bedrooms (one en suite) and a family bathroom.

Location

The hamlet of Kuggar is just half a mile or so from the beautiful long sandy Kennack Sands Beach with many rock pools to explore and also being popular with local surfers. There are a choice of other nearby beaches including the iconic Kynance Cove and the pretty and traditional fishermen’s cove at Cadgwith.

The Lizard Peninsula is an Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty and is a great place for watching the stars with very little light pollution. Keen walkers will enjoy joining the South West Coastal path and taking the opportunity to view some of the most beautiful coastline in England.

Nearby Ruan Minor offers day to day facilities with a farm shop and café within walking distance. Wider facilities are on offer in nearby Mullion and Helston including shops, public houses
