Welcome to Mullyon House, a truly unique and historic property that presents a
once - in - a - lifetime opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of
history. Nestled within a picturesque ½ - acre plot, this Grade 2 listed gem has
been lovingly owned by the same family for an impressive 77 years, making it a
cherished part of Mullion's legacy.
As you approach the house, you'll be greeted by an attached outbuilding to the
side of the kitchen, which exudes a rustic charm that harks back to its days
as a stable. Stepping inside, the atmosphere is palpable, with every creak of
the original floorboards whispering tales of the past. The cobble in the
basement is a true marvel, an ancient treasure steeped in mystery, its origins
tracing back hundreds of years.
Venturing further below, a hidden world awaits, as not one but three
smugglers' tunnels lead from the cellar formerly connecting this storied
residence to the old inn, the beach, and, alas, the collapsed tunnel to the
church, hinting at bygone escapades and clandestine adventures.
The property's layout tells its own story, with each room holding secrets of
its past life. The downstairs bedroom, once the Vicars dining room, emanates
an air of elegance, while the adjacent room, formerly the Vicars study, sparks
the imagination with the knowledge that great minds once roamed here. And that
bathroom, an unusual juxtaposition of present comfort and historical
relevance, where hooks that once held butchered animals still hang from the
walls.
Stepping into the lounge, you'll be transported to the heart of the old
kitchen, where the crackling fire once provided sustenance for generations
past. Today, the kitchen itself offers modern comforts, but the knowledge that
it once sheltered cows adds a sense of rustic allure to the space.
Throughout the house, original features abound, and the doors' blacksmith - made
hinges stand as a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of yesteryears.
Gazing through the windows, you'll behold the world through the same panes
that have witnessed centuries of Mullion's history.
Originally built in the 17th century, though perhaps even older, as the
surveyor's discoveries hint, the property showcases a delightful blend of cob
and stone, and earth construction that stands as a testament to the past's
ingenuity.
The property's heritage extends to its very name, once known as Rose Cottage.
It's intriguing to consider that Mullyon house was originally flanked by two
cottages, numbered 1 and 2 Rose Cottage, which were demolished in the 18
hundreds and disposed of in the well at the rear of the house.
