_Holiday home of the week: Cornwall's most photographed coastal cottage that could be yours

A rare opportunity to acquire an iconic Cornish coastal home, Cliff Cottage, sitting in a prime spot overlooking Lamorna Cove.

Have a novel, business plan or your next watercolour to finish? You'll find quiet inspiration here with as much interaction with the outside world as you please.

Three bedrooms offer plenty of accommodation for visiting family and friends if you're after a holiday home you can share in one of the most beautiful spots in the UK. New owners will wake up to uninterrupted views of the shifting sapphire and azure sea out to Lizard Point and beyond. 

The cottage was originally the 'Counting House' for the world famous Lamorna Quarry and is probably the oldest building in the cove.

Built entire of granite from the now defunct quarry, it's undergone some modernisation since its original use but is packed with period features such as exposed stone walls, Juliette balcony with stunning coastal views and a huge granite, inglenook fireplace  - just the tonic for colder Cornish days. 

Through contemporary fixtures and fittings, the current owners have created a modern home that honours its roots -  it's a  irresistible slice of Cornish heaven that will tick many holiday home buyers' boxes - mesmerising views, tranquility and oodles of internal and external space. The terrace outside the living room is a particular feature; it faces south east and is perfect for outside entertaining. 

When not in use this property will make an exceptionally popular rental home for those attracted to all the beauty Cornwall has to offer. 

Hemmed in by high cliffs and the sea, Cliff Cottage is one of the most photographed and painted houses in Cornwall and has featured in several films. In the garden sits a single block of granite named The Cube, weighing 21 tons, cut by hand in 1851 for The Great Exhibition in London.

There is a substantial garden sloping down to the shoreline that is sold with the property alongside a single garage that may come in handy for a variety of uses. 

Penzance is approximately five miles away, Truro 33 miles (London Paddington from 4 hrs 22 mins) from the property and  Newquay Airport is 48 miles away (London Gatwick 1 hr 10 mins).
