Situation - Nestled in a secluded position approximately one kilometre from the dramatic West Cornwall coastline, Ashmoor Cottage enjoys a magnificent panoramic outlook across open countryside and, on a clear day, out to sea as far as the Isles of Scilly.

Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Penwith Peninsula remains remarkably unspoilt, showcasing a breathtaking landscape of rugged cliffs, wooded valleys, quaint fishing coves, and beautiful sandy beaches. Nearby Sennen Cove offers excellent surfing, charming local shops, pubs, and restaurants, all set against spectacular coastal scenery. This part of West Cornwall is also celebrated for its rich cultural heritage, home to attractions such as the cliff-top Minack Theatre at Porthcurno, numerous local galleries in Penzance, and the world-famous Tate Gallery in St Ives. The village of St Buryan, approximately 2.5 miles away, provides a selection of local amenities, while the harbour town of Penzance serves as the main commercial hub of the Land’s End Peninsula, with mainline rail connections to London Paddington.

Additionally, there is a versatile room at the rear that could serve as a bedroom, study, or guest suite, complete with its own shower room. Upstairs, two characterful double bedrooms continue the theme of charm, both benefiting from expansive, far-reaching views across the surrounding landscape. This property presents a fantastic opportunity for renovation and modernisation, allowing a buyer to restore and enhance its historic charm while creating a home tailored to their own style and needs.
