A coastal bungalow with stunning views of the iconic landmark St Michael’s Mount goes on the market for the first time in nearly 100 years for £1.4million.
The four-bedroom house – named Lowena – has been in the same family for 92 years and is now up for sale for the first time since it was built in 1931.
The dormer bungalow has ‘jaw-dropping’ panoramic views of St Michael’s Mount – an iconic rocky island crowned by a medieval church and castle in Cornwall.
Estate agents Lillicrap Chilcott, who are selling the property on behalf of executors, say it is a ‘true once in a lifetime opportunity’.
Although the bungalow is well proportioned and ready to move into, it is more likely the new buyer will want to make the most of the incredible setting and demolish the existing property to create a modern new home.
