A country home boasting panoramic views of the iconic St. Michael's Mount in Cornwall has been listed for sale at £1.5 million. The property, named Wheal Darlington, is situated on two-and-a-half acres of landscaped grounds near Marazion.
The five-bedroom house features a first-floor living room that opens onto a wraparound balcony, providing unobstructed views of the island landmark, which lies approximately half a mile offshore. The house also includes a kitchen and dining area with access to a sun terrace, five bedrooms, and four bathrooms.
Wheal Darlington includes several outbuildings, such as a dedicated pottery studio and a music and games room. The grounds feature mature gardens, sweeping lawns, courtyard areas, an ornamental pond, and a paddock.
St. Michael's Mount, crowned by a medieval church and castle, is a prominent tourist attraction and filming location. The island was significantly impacted in January by Storm Goretti, which felled more than 80 percent of its trees. The property's television and film connections include its use as a setting for "House of the Dragon," a prequel to HBO's "Game of Thrones."
Access to St. Michael's Mount is by boat, or on foot at low tide via an ancient granite-cobbled pathway that emerges from the sea. This pathway was originally laid in the 15th century and underwent restoration after storm damage in 2014.
According to estate agents Rohrs & Rowe, the villa-style residence is designed to integrate living spaces with the gardens. The accommodation is described as flexible, with the first-floor vaulted sitting room offering panoramic views and balcony access as a distinctive feature. The property is located in Marazion, described as one of Cornwall's sought-after coastal towns, with St. Michael's Mount forming a focal point of Mount's Bay.
