A stunning Grade II detached residence, formerly a mill, set in private landscaped gardens of approximately .75 of an acre at the top of Lamorna Valley. Bordered by a stream, a nearby footpath winds through to Lamorna Cove, with its secluded and beautiful beach. Set amid sub-tropical landscaped gardens, originally built in the 1500's, converted in to a family home in 1998, Clapper Mill has been lovingly restored, maintaining many original features. The house is set away from the road, approached through a gated entrance with a long gravelled driveway leading to the property. There is a large double garage and ample additional parking. The gardens, a particularly attractive feature, have an abundance of mature trees and shrubs ensuring a high degree of privacy. A decked terrace sits next to the stream, another sheltered raised patio with a hot tub provide private separate areas in the grounds.



Clapper Mill has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a substantial family kitchen/breakfast room, a large living room, a dining room/second sitting room, both with fires. There are also four useful granite outbuildings with power, windows and, in one case water.
