GRADE II LISTING The Grade II listing describes the property as being built in the late 17th Century or early 18th Century and was later remodelled during the late 19th Century. The current owners have added a further sympathetic extension in recent years. Elevations are faced with granite being complemented by granite quoins and dressing under a scantle slate roof with gable brick chimneys. The listing also describes the symmetrical three window front with central entrance together with a fine four centrally moulded and bar stopped granite doorframe with frond spandrels from the porch reused from the porch of the original Pengersick Castle. We believe the adjacent castle was rebuilt in Elizabethan times. LOCATION Pengersick Farm enjoys an exceptional, sheltered virtually hidden setting in a conservation area and located right in the heart of the coastal village of Praa Sands. The surrounding area is renowned for its beautiful sandy beaches, countryside and picturesque coastline, much of which is in the ownership of The National Trust. In Praa Sands itself there is a local store, public house, renowned golf course and regular bus service, while nearby are the market towns of Helston and Penzance, each of which offer an excellent range of shopping, commercial, business, leisure and schooling facilities. A mainline rail link from Penzance leads to London Paddington (journey time approximately 5 hours); the A30 trunk road is within a few minutes’ drive and provides rapid and easy access around and out of the county including to Cornwall Airport Newquay at St Mawgan which provides a growing range of flights to national and international destinations. Praa Sands itself is a beautiful broad expanse (about 1 mile long) of sandy beach, bordered to the east and west by dramatic coastline at Rinsey Head and at Hoe Point, beyond which the South West Coast Path leads to the east to Rinsey Head, Rinsey Beach and Porthleven and to the west to Kenneggy Sands, Prussia Cove and Perranuthnoe.
