Mertheruny Mill, Nr Gweek
Property Description
Tucked away in a green leafy glade, this charming Grade II listed cottage is set back from a country lane in absolute seclusion and tranquility within a wooded valley, at the head of the Lizard Peninsula within easy reach of its many coves and beaches. An idyllic holiday retreat, built nearly 200 years ago next to a babbling stream and adjacent to the mill, this property has much character, with the old grinding stones and a large, circular area which may well have been the Mill's 'balancing' pond. Set in two acres of wooded landscape with a large suntrap lawn and a bench perfect for alfresco dining, a footpath leads up the valley past an old tin mine adjoining many footpaths and lanes in this three square miles of pretty countryside. The stream runs down to the delightful village of Gweek at the head of the Helford River, just two miles away. Here, you'll find a general Post Office stores, an excellent pub, an exclusive restaurant and the famous Seal Sanctuary. The ancient market town of Helston, famed for its annual Floral Dance in May, with sports centre and swimming pool is only four miles away. The colourful maritime resort of Falmouth is a 15 minute drive away. This lively town has winding lanes peppered with bijou shops, galleries, traditional inns and eateries for all occasions. The colourful harbour, beaches, historic Pendennis Castle and the maritime museum will provide entertainment in all weathers. The cottage has a spacious, cosy ambiance and is comfortably furnished with a welcoming sitting room boasting a wood burning stove for all season warmth. The kitchen is bright and well equipped with a dining table for fun gatherings over pasties and Cornish cream teas.
