Description

IntroductionGolden Meadow is nestled on a prime location, offering breathtaking views over the Bay and towards St Michaels Mount. This property is highly adaptable, making it an ideal choice for a family home, a home with income potential, or a residence for multi-generational living. The setting is equally appealing, located in the picturesque village of Gulval while being conveniently close to Penzance and the A30. It truly embodies the best of both worlds. Golden Meadow represents more than just a property; it is a chance to acquire an extraordinary lifestyle.  Seller’s InsightNestled in a prime location with an uninterrupted 180-degree vista of Mounts Bay and the iconic St Michael’s Mount from every bedroom and most living areas, Golden Meadow offers a truly exceptional living experience. Every day presents something new, as the bay bustles with activity—yachts, ferries, trawlers, and even dolphins, seals, and the occasional whale making their appearance. The full moon illuminating St Michael’s Mount each month is amazing - we have never tired of seeing it.  The property enjoys exquisite sunrises and sunsets, further enhancing its charm. Tucked away and surrounded by mature trees, Golden Meadow enjoys a secluded setting, providing a rare microclimate that allows for outdoor enjoyment even in winter. Imagine sipping coffee on the terrace, sheltered from the winds and enjoying the view all year round.  A short ten-minute stroll takes you to the beach and coastal paths, with Penzance town centre just a pleasant 25-minute walk away. This vibrant town boasts a variety of independent shops, bustling festivals, art galleries, numerous restaurants, and pubs. Gulval village, with its strong community spirit, epitomises the friendly vibe of Cornwall, offering a primary school, pub, and church that are at the heart of this welcoming community.

Solar panels generate approximately £2,000 annually, with another 12 years remaining on the Feed-in Tariff. Additional solar hot water panels contribute to household efficiency. The property accommodates parking for at least four cars and includes an electric charging point, underscoring its modern conveniences. Ample storage space and the safeguarding privacy of a half-mile stretch of farmland known as the Golden Mile ensure that this home offers both space and tranquility. This farmland, some of the most fertile and productive in England, promises lasting privacy thanks to its protection against development. Having called this haven home for 16 years, and with the prior 22 years occupied by my parents, the property has been an ideal place to raise a family. An extension in 2011 initially intended for my mother now serves our grown children. Throughout our time here, we have updated various elements of the house, maintaining its charm and functionality. Living in Gulval is a delightful experience, surrounded by a warm community. This area is perfect for those who enjoy leisurely walks paired with coffee, cake, or a satisfying pub lunch. For the more adventurous, there are coastal excursions and invigorating hikes across the moors of West Penwith. As an avid sports enthusiast, I revel in the proximity of beaches ideal for surfing. The nearby beaches offer a range of surfing conditions suitable for all levels, from gentle waves perfect for beginners to more challenging swells for experienced surfers. The consistent Atlantic swell provides excellent waves throughout the year, making it a popular spot for local and visiting surfers alike. Penzance also boasts excellent cricket and rugby clubs.  The InsideGolden Meadow is beautifully arranged to support multigenerational living, yet its versatility allows it to serve just as comfortably as a singular family home or a potentially lucrative holiday let.
