Gorgeous period townhouse with wonderful views over the iconic St Michael's Mount. Offering 6/7 bedrooms, spacious and characterful accommodation over three floors, private gardens and complete with gated parking for 3 cars.
Castle View is a beautiful period residence right in the centre of Marazion, situated in a peaceful setting just a little away from the bustle of the seafront. The house offers wonderful and spacious accommodation, combined with lovely views to the Mount that only get better on each floor.
The grand entrance hallway opens to allow access to the sitting room, which certainly sets the scene with its impressive proportions. The high ceiling is complimented with lovely plaster works and a stunning fireplace. Through a little further and you enter into the dining room, which has a wonderful feeling of space and light and opens to the courtyard making it a great space for entertaining, with the kitchen linking to it. Beyond the kitchen is a large walk-in pantry, a spacious fully-fitted utility room and laundry. A second servant’s staircase leads to the bedrooms on the first floor. There is even a former butler’s sitting room that adds a little extra class.
The first floor offers the majority of the bedroom accommodation, with two beautiful rooms facing towards the Mount with bay windows providing even better vistas. Three further bedrooms plus a bathroom are in turn accessed on this floor via
a corridor that links to a lovely office that in turn connects out to the garden beyond. The upper floor offers two wonderful bedrooms, offering truly spectacular sea and Mount views. One is currently utilised as another office with the most inspiring aspect! These rooms are serviced with a well-appointed bathroom and in addition there is a large loft area offering fantastic storage or potential for use for a range of hobbies.
The sunny garden is a real surprise, made up of a quite generous area of lawn bordered with well-established shrubs, all surrounded by lovely brick walls. There are two useful outbuildings, one of which works well as a summerhouse and offers a little shelter from the sun. The lower courtyard is beautiful and provides a lovely area to dine al fresco, with easy access from the dining room. The garden rises as you proceed through it and at the top of the garden there is a spacious, gated parking area for up to three cars - which is unusual for properties in this area. There is even a great view of the Mount to be enjoyed from here, as well as from the sunny upper patio.
Marazion is a charming Cornish town with a wonderful range of interesting shops, cafes and art galleries. It also provides access across the causeway to the iconic St Michael’s Mount.
