Location

This unique property is located in a spectacular setting in one of the most beautiful parts of Cornwall. It lies in the heart of the Rame Peninsula and on the edge of the village of Millbrook, close to the crystal clear waters of Plymouth Sound and Whitsand Bay.

The village of Millbrook includes a wide range of services including a small supermarket, local shops, doctors' surgery, primary schools, pubs and restaurants and other facilities including the various facilities to keep and launch boats, while nearby Cremyll includes a riverside pub and pedestrian ferry conveniently linking to the Stonehouse and Royal William Yard area of the City of Plymouth. In addition the A38 accessed at Trerulefoot gives excellent commuting to Plymout, Exeter and Truro. The mainline railway station can be accessed at St Germans (8 miles or 20 minutes drive) with regular services to London Paddington (quickest time is about 3 hours 30 minutes).

The nearby villages of Kingsand and Cawsand both have a welcoming community, are home to the Rame Gig Club and are well equipped with a variety of local shops, pubs and restaurants together with a sailing club and other facilities. The Rame Peninsula is relatively little known, often described as 'Cornwall's forgotten corner', forming part of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with quiet beaches and outlined by the South West Coastal Path. The Mount Edgcumbe Country Park, an 800 acre area of coastal woodland and open hillsides, is possibly one of the most beautiful and varied locations of Cornwall, lies on the edge of the village.

Access to Plymouth is via the town of Torpoint, with the vehicle ferry linking to the City. Alternatively The A38 is accessed at Trerulefoot and provides quick links to all parts of the region. The long golden sands of Whitsand Bay and the beautiful Rame Peninsula are only a short drive from the property.
