Situation - Boak House enjoys an elevated coastal position overlooking the charming village of Coverack, offering views across the bay, harbour, and out to sea. Nestled on the southeastern coast of The Lizard Peninsula, Coverack is a picturesque fishing village steeped in maritime history. Today, it is a sought-after holiday destination, bustling in the summer months with a delightful mix of restaurants, shops, and the popular Coverack Windsurfing Centre, which offers a variety of water sports. The Lizard Peninsula, England’s southernmost point, is renowned for its dramatic landscapes, much of which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Many areas are protected by private estates or The National Trust, preserving their unspoiled charm. Nearby, pristine beaches such as Kennack Sands and Poldhu invite exploration, while the tranquil, wooded creeks of the Helford River are also within easy reach.
Boak House benefits from direct access to the South West Coast Path, where stunning coastal views unfold in every direction. The nearby village of St Keverne offers a selection of everyday amenities, while the historic market town of Helston, just 12 miles away, provides more extensive facilities.
The Property - Retaining many of its period features, Boak House exudes charm and character while offering a highly versatile layout. Previously a successful guesthouse, the property provides generous accommodation with eight bedrooms, two en-suite bathrooms, and a total of five bathrooms.
A welcoming central hallway, accessed via steps, leads into the home. To the front, a spacious sitting room seamlessly flows into a family room, both brimming with character and featuring impressive period fireplaces. Off the central hallway, you'll find a large dining room and a well-equipped kitchen, complemented by a useful utility room and WC at the rear. Steps from the dining room lead up to a stunning conservatory, offering panoramic views over Coverack, while a decked terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor relaxation or entertaining.
On the first floor, there are four large double bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite shower rooms. A family bathroom and an additional shower room serve this level, while one of the rear-facing bedrooms enjoys a private balcony with picturesque views down to Coverack village. The second floor boasts three further spacious bedrooms, all with breathtaking coastal views, along with another family bathroom.
Outside - To the front of the property, a raised private garden enjoys beautiful sea views, providing a peaceful setting to relax and take in the surroundings. To the side, a spacious raised decked area enhances the outdoor space, perfect for entertaining or dining. At the rear, a useful courtyard offers additional practicality, accessed via a shared driveway to the side of the property.
