About this property
This stone built semi-detached bungalow, within a stones throw of the beach at Marazion is on a small private development of purpose built holiday bungalows which lies just steps away from golden sands and white tipped waves. Set around the site of Marazion's former railway sidings and the little granite stone station which has now been sympathetically converted. This property is perfect for those who want to be close as possible to the sea as it is just steps away from the beach and the stunning views of St Michael's Mount. The entrance leads into the open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and sitting area with TV and comfy sofas. Two bedrooms and a bathroom complete the bungalow. There is a patio area for each bungalow and the surrounding communal gardens have been landscaped with designated parking bays in front of each property with two spaces. Ever popular with watersports enthusiasts, windsurfers, kite surfers and dinghies can be found skimming over the waves throughout the year. When the tide is out, the historic island castle of 'St Michael's Mount' can be accessed by an ancient cobbled causeway well trodden by Pilgrims over the centuries. A vast tract of inland marshland frequented by rare species of migrating birds attracts bird watchers from all over the country. Time can be spent browsing in galleries and antique shops, or taking refreshments in the tea rooms, cafes and pubs which can be found lining the narrow streets of this charismatic coastal village. When you are ready to explore the surrounding area you will find that Penzance, Land's End and St Ives are all just a convenient drive away. Returning to your bungalow after a day of sun and sea the bungalow is sheltered from Atlantic breezes by the sea wall, this property is perfect for those that want to rest back and relax and look forward to the next adventurous day, whether with family or friends.

Dusty/dirty windowsills, lots of flys inside the property. bed sheet in the master bedroom had a big black stain on it, looked like it was probably a mould patch. The shower head also had black mould on it - so have photoâs if youâd like them?

Old, tired and dirty. The bathroom is filthy with mould (probably a health and safety issue), broken fixings, flaking paint and dirty grout. You can see where the owners have had painters in but the paint stops near the windows as whoever carried out tge work couldn't be bothered to paint up to the windows properly. Lots of flaking paint and rotten, bodged skirting boards throughout. Although the property once had an alarm, this was clearly very old and not working. The door locks and security were very, very poor. Any opportunist burglar would have no problem. The walls by the sliding doors showed signs of damp, flaking paint and looked awful. The electricity sockets used a 4 bank extension which looked overloaded. The windows had grime and cobwebs, a snail and dead insects all over them. The property suffered with lots of spiders. Finally, there wasn't even a clothes horse, I had to go and buy one. No I don't want my clothes outside on a line. The restaurant next door was closed and looked derelict, which brought the area down. Quite depressing to see, at the height of Summer. I write this critique, not to be negative but to highlight issues and observations, most of which could be easily addressed. This could be a fantastic holiday destination, it just needs the love and attention, rather than letting it go and relying on the location alone. Obviously the location is fantastic and with a refurb to address the decay within the property, this could be 5 stars.
