Set on the frontline above the beach, Chymorvah West is a grand Grade II listed granite Victorian residence that commands uninterrupted panoramic views across Mounts Bay to St Michael’s Mount. The principal house offers large high‑ceilinged rooms and period detail throughout, complemented by a self‑contained apartment — useful for guests, extended family or rental income. The plot extends to circa 0.75 acre of garden sloping down towards the shore, with parking, garage and substantial period outbuildings.
This is a substantial renovation opportunity. The house is being sold chain free but requires modernisation throughout; the property retains traditional construction (granite walls, likely no modern insulation) and an oil‑fired boiler with radiators. As a Grade II listed building, alterations will be subject to listed‑building consent and can complicate or limit changes, so budget and professional advice should be factored in.
Practical positives include no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and local amenities within easy reach of Marazion village and nearby Penzance. Local schools are well regarded, making the location suitable for families wanting coastal living. Note also slow broadband speeds, an expensive council tax band and that the property will need works to bring services and interiors up to contemporary standards.
For buyers seeking a rare frontline period home with exceptional sea views and scope to add value, this property offers a striking canvas. Contractors, conservation architects and anyone planning sympathetic refurbishment should consider the constraints and potential of the listing status when calculating project cost and timescale.
