Lower Meres, Laflouder Lane, Helston, TR12 7HT

Laflounder lane, mullion.

A substantial detached home of over 2,500 sq ft in one of the Lizard’s finest coastal positions, with sea views, a first-floor balcony, and just over five acres of its own land, close to Polurrian Beach.

Lower Meres sits down a quiet country lane on the edge of Mullion, open to far-reaching views out to sea.

Beautifully maintained by its current owners and comfortably traditional in style, it offers generous, flexible accommodation of approximately 237 sq m (2,555 sq ft) and, rare for this stretch of coast, the space, privacy and proximity to the coast that so few homes here can claim.

The property: A welcoming hall leads to the principal reception rooms: A well-proportioned lounge of some 18 feet and a large dining room ideal for entertaining.

The kitchen runs to over 21 feet, with plenty of room for everyday family life along with an adjoining utility area with space for washing machine and tumble dryer.

A study and a ground-floor cloakroom complete the practical spaces. The bedroom accommodation is generous and unusually flexible.

Two double bedrooms sit on the ground floor, each with its own en-suite shower room, perfectly suited to a principal suite and guest room, or to single-level and multi-generational living.

Upstairs, there are three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The primary bedroom has a balcony making the most of the elevated position and views down the valley towards the sea Outside, the property enjoys both an integral garage and a separate detached garage, together with generous parking and large, established gardens of around two thirds of an acre with gated access to the field.

Gardens and grounds: The land is what truly sets Lower Meres apart.

In all, the property extends to just over five acres, the garden giving way to a field that runs gently down towards the coast with a stream running alongside.

Note that there is a public footpath running across part of the field.

This celebrated stretch of coastline, and the sands of Polurrian Beach, lie within easy walking distance, while the privacy and outlook of the home itself are wholly preserved.

It is a degree of space and protected setting that is increasingly hard to find anywhere on the Lizard.

Location: Mullion is among the most sought-after villages on the Lizard Peninsula, the most southerly point of mainland Britain and home to one of the mildest, most temperate climates in the country.

Warmed by the Gulf Stream and all but frost-free, gardens flourish here for far more of the year than most.

The village has a genuine community and a good range of everyday amenities, including a fantastic 18 hole links golf course.

The surrounding coast, from Mullion Cove and harbour to Polurrian and Poldhu, is among the most beautiful in Cornwall, all within the Cornwall National Landscape.

Helston and the A394 lie a short drive away, with Falmouth and the cathedral city of Truro beyond.

Lower Meres offers the rarest of coastal commodities: Sea views, over five acres of your own, and one of Cornwall’s finest beaches within easy reach.
