South West self catering accommodation at The Clock House, Heligan in Cornwall

Accommodation

Set within the extensive grounds of the renowned Lost Gardens of Heligan and just over a mile from the sea, The Clock House is part of the stable block belonging to the Manor House, forming one side of a cobbled courtyard in the private section of the estate. Furnished to a high standard yet retaining many of the 18th century period features with high ceilings, large sash windows and the original slate-hung clock tower restored to working order with the preserved weather vane.

Entered from the courtyard where there is parking for two cars, the property is fronted by a small patio garden with a path and one step leading up to the wide front doorway which opens to an entrance lobby. An inner glazed door opens into a carpeted hallway leading to a cloakroom W.C. with hand basin and a modern style kitchen with smart fitted units. At the far end of the hall, a door opens to a delightful living room with a dining area on the lower level and two steps leading up through a wide archway to the adjoining sitting room with a comfortable three-piece suite and windows overlooking the courtyard.

A carpeted staircase winds up from the hall to the first floor landing where there are a bathroom W.C. with wash basin and corner bath with hand shower attachment and three pleasant bedrooms with views of the manor house, courtyard and grounds. There is a master bedroom with a cast iron 5-foot bed and an en-suite shower room W.C. with hand basin and two further bedrooms, each with zip-linked twin beds which can be joined to create a 6ft double. There are wall mounted electric convector heaters in all bedrooms.
