Little Kantara

Description

A contemporary, ground-floor apartment, retaining many original and quirky features, right in the heart of Marazion and which has been creatively refurbished to ensure a feeling of calmness and tranquillity from the moment you enter. Decorated in muted grey tones with duck egg blue touches against a backdrop of crisp white walls, Little Kantara is a delight. A skillful mix of reclaimed materials, upcycled furniture, window shutters and tasteful furnishings have been used to design a very individual property. With floor-to-ceiling glass doors leading from the sumptuous bedroom to the south-facing sun terrace, wake up to glistening sea views whilst enjoying your early morning coffee in bed. With nautical features such as the artfully-placed original ship window above the kitchen sink, you can wash up whilst gazing at the sea view. The induction range cooker and sleek, stone kitchen worktops will set your creative cooking juices flowing and with a spacious dining and living area, friends will be welcome for dinner.

Marazion, most famous for being the home of St Michael’s Mount, is a hive of activity with a number of independent restaurants, cafes, pubs and shops to browse around. A good range of eateries are all within a close walk and a casual evening stroll along the soft, sandy beach whilst the sun is setting over the bay is a must to experience. At low tide you can walk the ancient cobbled causeway to the Mount and enjoy the most spectacular views from the top and explore the glorious gardens on the way up. Watersports, fishing trips, wildlife boat rides and cultural activities are just a few ideas to entertain you but take the time to explore West Cornwall, as there’s nowhere quite to special.

Local Area

Marazion is home to the iconic castle of St Michael's Mount and, offering stunning views towards the Lizard Peninsula and Land's End, it's understandably a popular destination. The ancient market town has a fascinating history and claims to be the oldest town in Britain. It's a great place to visit any time of the year with an abundance of restaurants, traditional pubs, craft shops, art galleries and so much more! There's an excellent sandy beach, guarded by St Michael's Mount, that's ideal for swimming, sailing, kite surfing and all kinds of watersports. The surrounding countryside is dotted with little hamlets and quaint villages with the whole area designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) - a great location for bird watching and dolphin spotting.

Godolphin Cross, a little hamlet only 6 miles from Marazion, lies nestled at the base of Godolphin Hill within the Cornish Mining World Heritage site. From the summit of Godolphin Hill there are spectacular panoramic views over West Cornwall and the Lizard Peninsula. The nearby fishing village of Porthleven and the town of Helston are a short drive away as well as the well-known attractions of Flambards, Paradise Park and Gweek Seal Sanctuary which make excellent days out for all age groups. The Lizard Peninsula encompasses numerous picturesque coves and sandy beaches for you to enjoy including Praa Sands, Mullion and Coverack. It's an area which remains unspoilt and is definitely a real Cornish gem!
