north of Lizard Village lies the secluded Kynance Cove, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world with its turquoise sea and white sands, hidden from view among towering cliffs. There are many interconnected caves to be explored at low tide but high tide can be quite an exciting experience on a stormy day. A few miles further along this stretch of coast the beautiful picture-postcard harbour at Mullion Cove protects a small fishing fleet from the ferocious Atlantic storms. The Lizard village is a thriving coastal community throughout the year and has a local public house, junior school, nursery, various shops, a doctor’s surgery, garage, post office, galleries, restaurants, cafes, as well as football and sports clubs. This is also an area which boasts a number of scuba diving schools. Since 1751 there has been a lighthouse on Lizard Point, warning shipping of the dangers of this beautiful but treacherous coastline. Just offshore are the Man o' War rocks. Below the point is the Old Lifeboat House.

Outside The property sits within its wrap around gardens with a newly gravelled drive to one side and is enclosed by Cornish hedging. The gardens have been laid to lawn with the majority of the space to the rear of the property. A large open lawn area has been planted with a variety of shrubs and plants.
