Location:

Rostherne occupies a peaceful setting at the end of a private lane, on the western edge of Marazion. Despite its seclusion, access is straightforward, with convenient routes to Penzance and the A30 without passing through the town centre.

Marazion provides a good range of everyday amenities and is particularly well known for its sandy beach, sailing facilities and the Mounts Bay Sailing Club, which hosts regular regattas and national events. The tidal causeway to the National Trust-owned St Michael’s Mount is within easy walking distance, and the town also offers a selection of galleries, pubs and restaurants.

Penzance lies approximately three miles away and serves as the principal town for West Cornwall, offering comprehensive shopping, schooling, healthcare and transport connections. It benefits from mainline rail services to London Paddington, daily ferry services to the Isles of Scilly, and direct access to the A30.

The wider Penwith area is renowned for its dramatic coastline and countryside, with excellent opportunities for outdoor pursuits. Popular surfing beaches such as Perranuthnoe and Praa Sands are less than ten minutes’ drive, while scenic coastal walks and a choice of well-regarded golf courses, including Lelant, Cape Cornwall and Tehidy Park, are all within reach. West Cornwall also has a strong cultural heritage, with the Tate St Ives, the Minack Theatre at Porthcurno and the Prussia Cove concert series all close by.
