Property description
Clarence Cottage occupies a wonderfully secluded and private position behind walled gardens off the end of Clarence Place. Although in need of refurbishment, this is one of the finest houses in Penzance.
On the ground floor a reception hall with exposed floorboards leads to the 33 ft south-facing drawing room extending across the front of the house. The dining room is much larger than one would expect in such a house, and perfect for formal entertaining when required, with its high aspect shuttered windows and a walk-in cupboard for tableware and crockery. At the rear of the house and overlooking the secluded walled garden, the dual aspect kitchen has a four oven gas Aga and a large walk-in larder. Also on the ground floor there is a study, utility room, cloakroom, and rear lobby. On the lower ground floor is a basement apartment with a kitchen, sitting room, bedroom, store room, bathroom and cellar storage. This lower ground floor has separate access from the gardens. At first floor level, the two principal bedrooms share an ensuite bathroom. In addition there are three further bedrooms (one ensuite) and a family bathroom with adjacent separate WC. A narrow staircase leads up to the attic where there are two further rooms. The gardens, including the large gated parking area, are completely enclosed from Clarence Place. Next to the house, there is a garden room with French windows to the patio. Behind this room is a useful store/workshop.
The rear garden is wonderfully secluded and private.
