Introduction

Perched just above the safe sandy beach of Porthcurnick and the South West Coastal Path, this rare opportunity is located in a highly regarded hamlet in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and also has the convenience of being within a leisurely just over half a mile walk to the wide range of amenities found in the thriving village of Portscatho. The property has been in the ownership of the same family for the last 28 years as their well-loved holiday home. Porthcurnick Lodge has been successfully holiday let for many years and had an increase in gross income in more recent years with the addition of the detached one-bedroom annexe (Porthcurnick Studio).

Description

This desirable coastal home is positioned a few degrees off due south and is bordered by land, in the seaward direction, which is owned by the National Trust, thus meaning the enviable and beautiful views are protected. Many of the rooms in the property optimize the splendid views which encompass Porthcurnick Beach (home of the famous Hidden Hut), Gerrans Bay, Nare Head spanning past the pretty harbour of Portscatho and Gerrans (with its characteristic church spire) and across miles of open sea. Mere photography does not do justice to the panorama, which should be viewed first hand to fully appreciate.

Summary

Equally suitable as a lifestyle change, retirement or family residence, either as a permanent or holiday home, Porthcurnick Lodge and Studio are well presented and offer ready to move into habitable accommodation. Equally, this rare find has overwhelming potential, subject to any necessary planning consents. Based on the popularity and exclusiveness of Rosevine, we strongly advise an early appointment to view to avoid any disappointment.
