“The Edwardian townhouse enjoys a prime location at the entrance to Penzance, close to St Michael's Mount and the Minack Theatre, with views overlooking the harbour. I especially appreciate the artistic décor showcasing local Cornish artists. The heated outdoor swimming pool and Mediterranean-style gardens contribute to a relaxed atmosphere, especially for couples and families.”
