From the front of the house an entrance vestibule opens into a particularly broad galleried reception hall plus cloaks cupboard and wc. On the eastern side of the house is a generous dual aspect sitting room with living flame gas fire, there is then a formal dining room, a study and large kitchen/breakfast room with wrought iron gas burning stove.

LOCATION Kuggar House is found within the quiet coastal hamlet of Kuggar not far from the village of Ruan Minor and just a short walk from the beautiful sandy cove of Kennack Sands, one of the Lizard Peninsula s little known but fine golden sandy beaches, a real hidden gem. The

4 4 popularity of the area is growing however and in recent years there have been a number of small high quality developments and re-developments on the fringes of this hamlet as people have recognised the importance of the spectacular unspoilt coastline which lies on its doorstep. The nearby village of Ruan Minor is a pretty and historic village with thatched cottages, a Victorian primary school, chapel and a general stores/post office. Also in the vicinity is Cadgwith Cove, one of the prettiest classic fishing coves in Cornwall that has remained unspoilt through the centuries with cottages tumbling down the hillside to the cliff protected cove below where the fishermen still launch their boats each morning. Cadgwith has an excellent restaurant and a well attended inn down by the water s edge. There are further local facilities at Lizard Village, Coverack and St Keverne nearby, whilst the market town of Helston is the largest in the local area and offers everything from supermarkets to local retailers, a full range of schooling, a sports centre and a complete range of clubs and societies. The coastline around the Lizard Peninsula is some of Cornwall s most breathtaking with towering cliffs linking smaller coves and sheltered sandy beaches. The coastline immediately around Kuggar is owned by The National Trust and there are incredible walking opportunities around the South West Coast Path. A few miles to the north east is the Helford River where the cliffs give way to soft rolling countryside with protected woodland descending down to tranquil creeks. The sheltered waters in the main part of the river have yacht mooring facilities and are an ideal location to learn the ropes of sailing.
