Living and eating
Atlinto benefits from a heavenly open plan living, dining and kitchen space. To the front of the house, with stunning views over Cadgwith Cove, lies the 'Summer Room' with huge navy-blue corner sofa, two occasional chairs and a wonderful bay window seat, the perfect spot for whiling away an hour or two, gazing out over the ever-changing vista. There's also a cosy wood burner plus Smart TV with Sky Q.
Leading towards the back lies the 'Winter Room', a snug affair for more intimate gatherings with large leather sofa, original fireplace (for display only), occasional chair and another Smart TV with Sky Q. Glass doors between the two rooms can be shut for extra cosiness.
Beyond this room, spanning the back of the house, lies the kitchen and dining room which benefits from underfloor heating to keep toes toasty warm. The kitchen with central island is fully equipped with everything you might need to rustle up feasts, from the five-ring Rangemaster double oven to the large American-style fridge. In addition, there's a dishwasher, microwave, Magimix and the all-important Nespresso coffee machine.
The dining area, adjacent to the kitchen, is a wonderful space with glass doors that open out into the garden, perfect for warmer days when you want to bring the outside in. The impressive, Spanish antique wooden dining table comfortable seats eight, whilst skylights above adds additional light and creates an airy space.
There is also a good-sized utility room where the washing machine and tumble drier is kept.

To the back of the house, take the stairs leading up from the dining room glass doors and you'll find a tucked away seating area, perfect for moments of quiet, whilst in front of the house lies a tiered cliffside garden, accessible by crossing the hidden-away public footpath that runs in front of the house - do take care moving around the cliffside garden.

In the Area
Set in the pretty village of Cadgwith Cove on The Lizard, Atlinto is perfectly positioned to explore the most southerly region of the UK. From the house, you can take the path down to the village, meaning it's just a short stroll for a revitalising dip in the turquoise waters of the Cove or an atmospheric meal in The Cadgwith Cove Inn. From here, you can also join the South West Coastal Path towards Lizard Point and Kynance Cove in one direction and Coverack in the other, both dramatic and beautiful stretches of coastline where you might catch a glimpse of dolphins, seals and sea birds along the way. Pop in the car and take the pretty country roads to discover exquisite sandy beaches, from Coverack with its safe, shallow cove to the wild and dramatic Kynance Cove - also a fabulous spot for sunset watching. Other hot spots include Mullion Cove, Lizard Point, the pretty village of Helford and the impressive Trelowarren Estate, not to mention Roskilly's, where both the ice cream and farm animals will be a hit with children. Further afield, you can head west towards St Michael's Mount, Penzance and out towards Land's End, whilst make for the North coast and St Ives is a must for its beaches and shops. The Helford River is dotted with sub-tropical gardens such as Trebah and Glendurgan, whilst the seaside town of Falmouth and along the Roseland Peninsula is well worth a visit too.
