In Marazion, two properties in need of updating together have a freehold guide of £195,000 plus.

Trefa and Tremel in Fore Street are in close walking distance of the famous St Michael’s Mount and share a good-sized courtyard and garden.

Trefa is double-fronted house with four bedrooms, while Tremel has two double bedrooms with ensuite shower rooms.

Katie said: “This is an exciting opportunity to acquire two properties in the popular coastal town of Marazion.

“Both require an extensive course of updating throughout and post works would make a fabulous family home with an annexe attached, or some may see the potential for a two lucrative holiday lets.”

Meanwhile, near Penzance, a detached cottage with sea views has a freehold guide of £150,000 plus.

The two-bedroom property, Pentrew, is located in Levant Road, in the village of Trewellard between Pendeen and St Just.

Katie said: “This delightful and well-presented cottage sits on a decent sized plot with well-maintained gardens, off-road parking and a detached garage as well as stunning views.

“It has been a successful holiday let over the past years and could continue to do so post remedial works, or some may simply wish to call it home. Clearly, there is also potential for extension or development, subject to all necessary consents.”

All of the above properties are being auctioned in arrangement with Andrew Exelby Estate Agents of St Just.
