PORTHALLOW, ST KEVERNE

Guide Price £1.2 million

Pengarrock Farmhouse is situated within a quiet and most charming tucked away location very much enjoying the best of coast and country. Just 1½ miles to the south the village of St Keverne provides a post office, a general store, a butchers, two places of worship, two public houses and a primary school with senior school available in Mullion approximately 8 miles away.

About a ½ mile to the east lies Porthallow, a small unspoilt fishing village situated on the east coast of the Lizard Peninsula, near to the Helford River. Once a fishing village with a thriving pilchard industry it is still used today by some fishermen. Good fishing, safe bathing, sailing, cliff and coastal walks are all on the doorstep and the neighbouring traditional fishing villages of Coverack and Porthoustock are also within easy reach.

There are school buses to both Mullion and Helston and a regular bus service to the market town of Helston, probably best known for its Flora Day in May, lies approximately 10 miles to the west.

DESCRIPTION
