"Mennaye Barn" is in a truly delightful and unique location, situated as it is off Love Lane, one of Penzance's footpaths, which are part of a network connecting various parts of the town. The property has exclusive vehicle access from the sea front, past the boating lake, whilst Penzance town centre is approximately a quarter mile distant and has a wide range of shops and facilities one would expect of the largest town in West Cornwall. Penzance is on the main London railway line (Paddington approx. 5 hours) and is by-passed by the A30, whilst Newquay International Airport is about 43 miles distant.

The conversion of the building is designed to provide exceptional versatility to alter the rooms to provide additional bedroom space or an annexe.
