Cornwall

Welcome to Cornwall; an area of the country that for so many, needs little

introduction. I am proud to call the county home, and after several years abroad,

I was drawn back by the open spaces, the fantastic lifestyle and timeless beauty of the

landscape. One of the most special things about Cornwall is undoubtedly the

coastline, and with over 400 miles of it, we are spoilt for choice when it comes to

beaches, cliff walks and sunset spots. Almost a third of the county is a designated

Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the National Trust has a huge presence here

in managing and maintaining the landscape.

Jutting boldly into the Atlantic as England’s most westerly and southerly point,

Cornwall is much more than just a wind-swept peninsula and different parts of the

county offer very different lifestyles. One of my family’s favourite activities is walking

the South West Coast Path around Porthtowan and Chapel Porth, which like much of

the north coast has stunning views from the cliffs and dunes, as well as world-class

surf on the beaches below.

The south of the county has excellent sailing and a peaceful coastline dotted with

fishing villages and secret beaches, while to the east, Fowey and the famous harbour at

Charlestown offer visitors an authentic glimpse of our heritage. Rugged landscapes in

the far west create some of the most unspoilt areas in Britain, with dramatic coastal

scenery and smugglers’ coves, traditional fishing villages such as Mousehole and the

illustrious theatre carved into the cliff at Minack.

I am proud to have marketed some of Cornwall’s most desirable and interesting

properties and developments, and after more than a decade in the region, our friendly,

expert team of are ideally placed to guide and advise buyers and sellers.This waterfront

collection highlights just a selection of the properties we have on offer.
