Avallon

Avallon is a detached house set down its own lane at Lower Drift, about 2 miles from Penzance. The property comes with access to seven acres of surrounding fields - a strong draw for dog owners, with up to four pets welcome.

Three bedrooms include two doubles and an adult bunk room. A bathroom with bath and shower over serves the upper floor, while a ground-floor shower room adds a second wet room. The layout spreads across a kitchen, separate dining room, sitting room, and conservatory. A travel cot and highchair are available. Off-road parking accommodates up to six cars, and there is dedicated bike and equipment storage.

Front and rear gardens have lawns, outdoor furniture, and a barbecue, opening onto the seven acres of private fields beyond. Mousehole Beach is 3.6km away in the fishing village of Mousehole (pronounced "Mowzel") - a harbour beach with calm, clean water. Lamorna Cove, a rocky inlet favoured by early 20th-century painters with clear water for snorkelling, is 4.7km south.

Penzance town centre is 2 miles away, with the Art Deco Jubilee Pool - the UK's largest seawater lido at 300 feet long - on the seafront promenade. Newlyn, England's largest fishing port, is walkable from Penzance along the coast. The ferry to the Isles of Scilly departs from Penzance harbour. Morrab Gardens, 3 acres of subtropical planting, is free to enter.
