Written by Graham Timmins Tuesday, 22 September 2009 00:00

Calize Country House, at Prosper Hill overlooking the village of Gwithian is just a short drive off the A30 corridor at Hayle, West Cornwall. Calize Country House, which dates back to 1902, is a mixed leisure opportunity, combining an upmarket bed and breakfast facility, holiday and all year round residential letting business. The very generous, two-storey property provides 4 en-suite guest bedrooms, together with a guest lounge and dining room. Also found on the 1st floor are 2 further bedrooms, which are presently configured to provide the owners’ accommodation, with views to front over countryside and towards St Ives Bay.

The main house additionally provides 4 letting ‘cottages’, which to all intents and purposes are flats. Three are let on a permanent residential basis, with the remaining unit being a summer holiday let. Within the grounds of the property are 4 large residential static caravans that are let on a regular basis. There are ample parking facilities, and the grounds also contain a wet room with showering facilities and storage, whilst there is a further substantial workshop/utility room of over 48ft in length.

Income is generated from the various activities i.e. bed & breakfast, holiday letting and permanent residential accommodation, whilst it is understood the B&B activity is presently operated on a ‘lifestyle’ basis, with occupancy running at only 50%. The other profit centres generate greater profitability and the trading accounts for the year ended April 2007, show a reconstituted net profit approaching £44,000. Offers are invited for the freehold interest in Calize Country House off a guide price of £1,500,000.

Graham Timmins of our Leisure Department comments, "Calize Country House is an interesting compendium of leisure activity in an area remembered for Virginia Woolf’s 1927 novel ‘To the Lighthouse'. It is a marvellous part of Cornwall in which to live and the business offers a superb lifestyle opportunity".
