As its name implies the Old Bank House previously served as Lloyds Bank’s
Mullion branch whilst concurrently operating as the village post office,
becoming an integral part of the local community of the day.
Today the residence provides very generously proportioned and versatile living
space which is well suited to the requirements of modern day living that will
appeal to discerning purchasers.
Steeped in history, The Old Bank House boasts a wealth of period features that
include wonderful parquet flooring throughout the ground floor reception
rooms, high ceilings, a grand staircase with a galleried landing and the
elegant and truly impressive former banking hall. This has been stylishly
enhanced to provide a contemporary modern kitchen area with granite work
surfaces and a very spacious and sociable open plan dining area and sitting
room.
A cosy snug is situated through an adjacent archway and, with a wood burning
stove, would seem an ideal place to relax on those cosy winter nights. A
drawing room with a further wood burning stove leads on to the sun room from
which French doors lead out to the attractive paved courtyard garden. The end
of terrace residence benefits from double glazing and air source heating.
A deceptive and tastefully presented period residence which is wholeheartedly
recommended and should be viewed to fully appreciate the accommodation on
offer.
In summary, on the ground floor, the accommodation comprises an entrance
vestibule, drawing room, sun room, snug, large open plan sitting room/dining
room/kitchen, utility room, and a downstairs cloakroom. On the first floor
there are four double bedrooms (one en - suite), family bathroom, and cloakroom.
Mullion itself is the largest village on The Lizard Peninsula which is home to
Britains's most southerly point. It is officially designated as an area of
outstanding natural beauty, from sheltered valleys to moorland with superb
countryside and framed by its rugged coastline.
Mullion is a bustling village offering a good range of facilities including
shops, Co - operative supermarket, well regarded primary and comprehensive
schools and a nursery. The village is home to an attractive harbour, a beach
at Polurrian Cove, health centre and pharmacy. The Polurrian Hotel has a
leisure club with indoor swimming pool and the newly refurbished Mullion Cove
Hotel also has spa facilities. Nearby is the beautiful sandy beach at Poldhu
and a super 18 hole links golf course.
More extensive amenities are available in the nearby town of Helston, some six
