A spacious and beautifully modernized detached house, with beautiful terraced gardens and far-reaching views to Dodman Point.

Description

The building dates from the early 1970's and in recent years has been modernised throughout to create a bright and spacious home, with accommodation over three floors extending to just over 2,000 sq ft.

The ground floor accommodation comprises a reception hall, with staircase rising to the first floor, a principle bedroom with en suite shower room, a well-positioned utility room, and a guest bedroom with shower room and WC accessed from the hallway.

On the first floor there is a beautifully fitted kitchen and dining room, with central island unit and doors opening to an east facing balcony, which leads to the gardens and terrace above. There is a spacious sitting room with fireplace and access to a study or possible fifth bedroom.

Two further bedrooms are accessed via a small flight of steps at the back of the kitchen, where there is a landing with airing/storage cupboard and a family bathroom. The larger of the two bedrooms has a range of fitted cupboards and a pair of sliding doors which open onto a substantial terrace with views over the gardens to the south and coastline to the east.

Outside, the property is accessed via a private road, which leads to a substantial driveway, with parking for several vehicles. The gardens wrap around the building, leading up to a series of terraces at the back of the building. There is a further area of garden on the south side of the driveway.

Location

Portloe is a very picturesque, protected and unspoilt fishing village, nestling between magnificent cliffs on the south eastern coast of the Roseland Peninsula which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

With granite cottages surrounding a small traditional harbour, John Betjeman once described the village as "one of the least spoiled and most impressive of Cornish fishing villages", which still rings true today.

The village has an active community and includes a church, pub and the highly regarded Lugger hotel. Miles of spectacular cliff top walks stretch out in both directions, while Carne Beach, owned by the National Trust, has a wide expanse of clean sand and safe bathing.

For the foodie, follow the headland around and find The Hidden Hut located above Porthcurnick Beach, the Nare Hotel at Carne and the Michelin Starred Driftwood Hotel near Portscatho.

Nearby is the pretty village of Veryan, providing a primary school and mini-market/Post Office. While the exclusive and ever popular waterside village of St Mawes is just a short drive away; one of Cornwall’s most famous addresses, providing a handful of great pubs, restaurants and hotels, including Olga Polizzi’s Hotel Tresanton.

Square Footage: 2,021 sq ft
