The kitchen is fitted with a good range of units and a large island unit. Appliances

Gardens
There is a very pretty Mediterranean style walled courtyard to the rear, which is accessed from the lower ground floor. The courtyard offers a very private setting for al fresco dining, with a glass fronted slate tiled summer house, under level storage for bins etc and a door leading to South Parade Mews behind. The row of Georgian houses overlook and enjoy shared grounds, approached through wrought iron gates, which open to a gravelled in and out driveway, with mature hedged boundaries centred around manicured lawned gardens, and planted beds and borders. Each of the houses, make an annual contribution to the shared and ongoing maintenance of the gardens.
Pen Sans, from the old Cornish language, was the original name for Penzance and means sacred headland and refers to an ancient chapel on the western headland. Nowadays, Penzance is the major tourist and commercial centre of West Cornwall, and although steeped in history, provides all the facilities and amenities you would expect, including hotels, restaurants, cafés, museums, art galleries, second-hand book sellers, and a wonderful and eclectic mix of independent shops and boutiques. Penzance is perfectly positioned as a gateway to some of Cornwall's most famous tourist destinations, including the Isles of Scilly, it is also only a few miles from places such as St Ives, Land's End, and of course St Michael's Mount. Penzance's bustling town, breath-taking views, and close proximity to iconic Cornish landmarks, ensures it is one of Cornwall's treasured gems.
The town offers a mainline rail connection to London Paddington, education for all ages, a hospital, selection of supermarkets and food stores. South Parade is situated off Parade Street, a quiet road with very little passing traffic, ensuring a great deal of peace and tranquillity and is situated a short level walk from the town centre's facilities, including Chapel Street, arguably Penzance's best known and oldest address, and the seafront, where the promenade leads to Jubilee Pool. Penzance also benefits from one of mildest climates in the UK, illustrated by the abundance of gardens full of sub-tropical plants, including Morrab Gardens, which lies to the front of South Parade, landscaped in Victorian times and turned into a municipal park in 1889, complete with bandstand. Nearby Penlee Gardens is also home to an outdoor theatre in the summer months.
West Cornwall is known for its rugged beauty and is home to a large section of the Southwest Coast Path, meandering its way over dramatic cliff tops, to sheltered coves and larger sandy beaches. Just to the east of Penzance is the village of Marazion and St Michael's Mount which can be accessed by foot across a causeway at low tide. There are many other sandy beaches including Praa Sands to the east, whilst to the far west is Sennen Cove and Whitesand Bay, a two mile long stretch of beautiful white sands renowned for its surfing waves, beside a picturesque harbourside village. To the south is Mousehole, another popular coastal village, renowned for its harbourside lights at Christmas, and about 20 minutes' drive to the north is the beautiful town of St Ives.
A30 1 mile, St Michaels Mount 4 miles, St Ives 7.9 miles Lands End 9.8 miles, Truro 28.7 miles (All distances are approximate).
