Situation - Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and known to many as true 'Poldark Country', Pendeen is a traditional Cornish village that is less than a mile from the North Coast. The nearest beaches are Portheras Cove, sitting below Pendeen Lighthouse and Boat Cove, both with intimate sandy beaches. The South West coast path is also readily accessible, providing stunning cliff-top walks along this rugged and particularly beautiful stretch of coastline, much of which is in National Trust ownership. Around half a mile away is the historic Geevor Tin Mine and Heritage Centre providing a fascinating glimpse into the industrial past of the County.

Between Pendeen and the village of Zennor is the acclaimed pub and restaurant, The Gurnard's Head, an iconic yellow-painted building just above the headland.

Pendeen itself is well served with a shop, hall, church, nursery, primary school and pubs. A walk to the summit of Eanes Carn at the end of Church Road will be rewarded with fabulous views to the Isles of Scilly in the distance. A few miles to the south is St Just, known as the last town in England, where a more extensive range of facilities can be found, including Cape Cornwall Secondary School. Only a few further miles on is Land's End and the picturesque harbour village of Sennen with a fabulous surfing beach.
The coastal road to the north leads to St Ives, one of Cornwall's most popular seaside resorts, with many cafés, restaurants and art galleries set around its harbour and overlooking its beaches. Around 8 miles away is Penzance which has the greatest range of services in West Cornwall, including supermarkets, the terminus for the Penzance to Paddington railway line and schooling.

The Property - Approached over the 'No Through' Church Road and nestling alongside the Church of St John the Baptist, The Old Vicarage stands amidst extensive walled gardens and faces approximately South West.

Renovated by the vendors over recent years, this impressive broad-fronted home extends to around 4,200 sqft and boasts an impressive granite facade under a natural slate roof with tall multi-paned sash windows that have been updated with double glazed units and allow the elegant accommodation to be flooded with natural light.
The surrounding traditional buildings have been sensitively converted to create two independent cottages and a studio, all beautifully presented.

The House - The house is entered from the southern side of the building into a welcoming reception hall with original flooring tiles and looks down a corridor that extends all the way to the kitchen at the opposite end. Above you is a high ceiling with beautiful corbelled archway and as you follow the corridor, you come to the lovely turning staircase to the upper floor. The study is the first room on the left, with a tall window overlooking the garden, period fireplace and central section of tiled floor. The downstairs cloakroom has been sensitively renovated with period style sanitary ware. The sitting room is impressively large with exposed floorboards, tall sash windows allowing plenty of natural light, an original marbled fireplace and range of period features including a central ceiling rose. Adjacent is the fabulous dining room, again with marble fireplace, tall sash window, stripped floor boards and period fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room has Shaker style units and a large oil fired Aga which provides both a lovely warmth and cooking facilities. Down a small set of stairs off the kitchen is a lower level containing a utility room, store, boiler room and cellar.

The broad turning staircase leads to a half landing and onwards under a moulded archway to the galleried landing. Bedroom 5 is on the mezzanine landing with views to the sea, adjacent to a re-appointed shower room. The remaining five bedrooms are all spacious and enjoy scenic views over the garden and retain a number of traditional period features, including fireplaces and high ceilings. The family bathroom is at the rear of the house with a claw footed roll-top free standing bath.

The Studio (Sleeps 2) - Tucked away in the western most corner of the grounds, this charming small holiday studio has been beautifully converted with an eye for detail and comprises an open-plan living area with high vaulted ceiling, limestone tiled floor, contemporary high gloss kitchen and a fitted pull-down bed. A solid oak door leads into a superb shower room with walk-in shower, wash basin and low wc. A perfect romantic escape for couples.

Arch Cottage (Sleeps 2) - Situated next to the main residence in a secluded courtyard with The Stables cottage. Again, both have been converted with an eye for detail and provide stylish accommodation that is impeccably presented throughout.

Spacious open-plan living area with high sloping ceiling. Limestone flooring and oak floor with well-appointed kitchen. Double bedroom with oak floor, exposed granite wall and shower room with walk-in shower, wash basin and low wc.

The Stables (Sleeps 4) - Delightful open-plan living area with limestone floors throughout the ground floor with high vaulted ceiling and two sets of patio doors opening to the courtyard. Contemporary gloss kitchen with oil fired Aga, integral appliances and granite features. High in the apex of the roof is a bedroom with oak floors, sloping ceilings and a porthole window offering views to the sea. On the ground floor is a double bedroom with en-suite shower room, plus additional family bathroom with luxury whirlpool bath, wc and wash basin.

Gardens, Grounds And Outbuildings - The fabulous gardens are approached through a striking castellated granite walled entrance with electrically operated gate. A long tree lined driveway passes through the gardens, flanked by lawns to the front of the main house where there is ample parking.

Partly timbered, the lawns are interspersed with mature shrubs, including rhododendrons and hydrangeas and are ablaze with bluebells and snowdrops in the spring months.
A high castellated archway on the north western side of the residence allows access to the rear courtyard, Arch Cottage and The Stables. The garden then continues around to the rear and opposite side of the house.

In addition to the immediate gardens there is also a piece of ground to the rear of St John the Baptist Church, known informally as the secret garden.
