The property
Scillonia is a Grade II listed, Georgian townhouse in the heart of Penzance, where the luxury of Kensington comes to Cornwall.
Welcome to a peaceful oasis, near amenities and a beach, with lovely sea glimpses to Mount’s Bay and magical St. Michael’s Mount. With a wonderful private front garden, and enclosed courtyard at the back, extensive accommodations and a games room, Scillonia is a special place for a Cornish getaway. Park up to the roadside and enter the enclosed front garden, with steps leading up to this elegant, period home. Indoors you’ll be met by a stylish, open-plan formal dining and living room, with two open fireplaces; across the hallway is the library, where you can curl up with a great book. Continue to the open-plan living space with a conservatory where the sun pours in, kitchen and social area to cook and enjoy meals together. Spend evenings under the stars, with a rear courtyard made for alfresco dining, or gather around the formal dining table, retreating to the plush sitting area to relax in front of an open fire. Enjoy games night on the lower-ground-floor or put on the large-screen TV in the cinema room, with a snack room next door for popcorn and a fridge for refreshments.
Four beautifully appointed bedrooms await up the dramatic period staircase, including three super-king-size rooms, and a versatile twin/king with zip/link beds, all serviced by a sleek bathroom, an indulgent shower room, and a handy cloakroom/utility. Once you’re ready to explore, walk into Penzance, the most westerly town in Cornwall, home to the iconic St Michael’s Mount and a range of independent shops and art galleries on Chapel Street.
Whether you’re looking to explore the beauty of the Cornish coastline or taste the local cuisine, the area has something to offer for all. Head north to discover St Ives, the quintessential Cornish town, teeming with art galleries, book shops, and a stunning harbour, the Tate St Ives, Subtropical Gardens, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, and amazing beaches.
Continue to Hayle, where you can enjoy three miles of golden sands and family-friendly beaches. After a day of exploring, return to Scillonia and enjoy the tranquil setting and a glass of wine: this is luxury Cornish coastal living.
