Truly remarkable 2 bedroomed wing of an Historic Castle dating back to 1775.
The castle was built by famous marine botanist John Stackhouse to enable his studies to be carried out in the Cove below.
Of dressed granite with walls topped by embattled parapets this is an outstanding example of skilled stone masonry.
The castle was extended in the 1900 s and has had a variety of uses over the last 100 years being converted to a small number of luxury apartments in the 1990s.
An infamous occupant of the castle was the smuggler John Carter known as The King of Prussia due to the proximity of Prussia Cove nearby when copious amounts of contraband came ashore.
Local legend says that tunnels from the castle led to the cove below.
The North Wing occupies a great position with stunning sea and coastal views from the very impressive 11 metre living room /kitchen with many features of the period including stone mullioned windows.
The accomodation features 2 bedrooms and a luxury bathroom.
Externally are private parking spaces and the use of beautifully landscaped gardens with direct access to the coastal footpath leading to nearby Marazion and Perranuthnoe.
The present owners have run the North Wing as a successful holiday rental .(Full details on request.)
The property is well situated for nearby Penzance and all amenities.
Regular rail links to the U.K network from Penzance station.
Scheduled air links to many UK cities and Europe from Newquay airport (approximately 43 miles distant)
Truly unique!
