Welcome to Mullyon House, a truly unique and historic property that presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of history. Nestled within a picturesque ½-acre plot, this Grade 2 listed gem has been lovingly owned by the same family for an impressive 77 years, making it a cherished part of Mullion’s legacy.

As you approach the house, you’ll be greeted by an attached outbuilding to the side of the kitchen, which exudes a rustic charm that harks back to its days as a stable. Stepping inside, the atmosphere is palpable, with every creak of the original floorboards whispering tales of the past. The cobble in the basement is a true marvel, an ancient treasure steeped in mystery, its origins tracing back hundreds of years.

Venturing further below, a hidden world awaits, as not one but three smugglers’ tunnels lead from the cellar formerly connecting this storied residence to the old inn, the beach, and, alas, the collapsed tunnel to the church, hinting at bygone escapades and clandestine adventures.

The property’s layout tells its own story, with each room holding secrets of its past life. The downstairs bedroom, once the Vicars dining room, emanates an air of elegance, while the adjacent room, formerly the Vicars study, sparks the imagination with the knowledge that great minds once roamed here. And that bathroom, an unusual juxtaposition of present comfort and historical relevance, where hooks that once held butchered animals still hang from the walls.

Stepping into the lounge, you’ll be transported to the heart of the old kitchen, where the crackling fire once provided sustenance for generations past. Today, the kitchen itself offers modern comforts, but the knowledge that it once sheltered cows adds a sense of rustic allure to the space.

Throughout the house, original features abound, and the doors’ blacksmith-made hinges stand as a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of yesteryears. Gazing through the windows, you’ll behold the world through the same panes that have witnessed centuries of Mullion’s history.

Originally built in the 17th century, though perhaps even older, as the surveyor’s discoveries hint, the property showcases a delightful blend of cob and stone, and earth construction that stands as a testament to the past’s ingenuity.

The property’s heritage extends to its very name, once known as Rose Cottage. It’s intriguing to consider that Mullyon house was originally flanked by two cottages, numbered 1 and 2 Rose Cottage, which were demolished in the 18 hundreds and disposed of in the well at the rear of the house.

Mullyon House beckons those who are captivated by the allure of the past, who yearn to breathe life into history’s forgotten corners, and who seek a place where time weaves its tapestry through the ages. This is your chance to buy into the very essence of Mullion’s spirit, and to craft a future that is as rich and storied as its past.
