Germoe, Penzance TR20

Nestled idyllically within the peaceful village of Germoe, and approximately a mile (as the crow flies) to the beautiful Praa Sands beach, Hawthorn Cottage offers a blend of modern construction with the traditional charm of a Cornish cottage.

This stunning property has four generous bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms, a luxurious main bathroom, and a further handy shower/wc off the utility room. The elegant kitchen/diner has limestone flooring, Silestone quartz work surfaces and an island/breakfast bar for informal dining. The welcoming, triple aspect living room with a large fireplace and wood burning stove is tastefully presented and perfect for cosy nights in.

Outside, the cottage features a block paving open ended driveway with ample off road parking, a garage, and an EV charging point. The front garden has mature hedging and stone walling with a pretty, secluded, raised patio area. A side gate leads to a charming, small, wraparound lawned garden with mature trees and shrubs including a magnolia, wisteria, camellias, and of course a Hawthorn tree.

The well regarded village of Germoe is in a designated conservation area within a World Heritage site with a primary school and a church with a rich history dating back to medieval times. The surrounding area offers stunning scenery for walking and easy access to nearby Praa Sands famous for its sandy beach and cafes. Lying just outside the village is the A394 which is the main road to Penzance or Helston with the fantastic Mounts Bay coastline just a 10 minute drive away. There is also a convenient Spar shop and garage a short walk from the village.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms (two en-suite) and a family bathroom. The property benefits from double glazing, Air Source heating and private drainage.
