Carncothan, Porthcothan – A Rare Coastal Opportunity
Discover an exceptional chance to own a substantial five-bedroom detached home in the highly sought-after coastal village of Porthcothan. Set on an impressive plot of about half an acre, this property offers space, privacy, and endless potential – whether you’re looking to reconfigure, develop (subject to planning), or simply enjoy the generous grounds.

The Home
Spanning approximately 2,200 sq ft across two floors, the main residence boasts well-proportioned rooms with sea and countrysideviews from multiple vantage points.

On the Ground Floor: A welcoming hallway leads to a separate kitchen, a spacious living and dining room, and a sunroom that frames views across the village and out to the ocean. You’ll also find a versatile reception room, utility space, a ground-floor bathroom, and plenty of storage.
On the First Floor: Five double bedrooms, including a master with en-suite, plus a family bathroom. The central landing enhances the sense of light and space, with elevated windows offering glimpses of the coastline.

While the property requires modernisation, it presents a fantastic opportunity to create a home tailored to your lifestyle.

The Setting
Carncothan sits in an elevated position within the village, enjoying far-reaching views and a peaceful atmosphere just minutes from the beach. The plot is naturally divided into two sections, opening up exciting possibilities for:

A second dwelling (subject to planning)
Extending the existing home
Designing landscaped gardens or outdoor entertaining spaces

Additional Features

Detached Outbuilding (approx. 570 sq ft): Currently a garage and storage area, this versatile space could become a studio, home office, gym, annexe, or guest accommodation (subject to planning).
Two Separate Entrances: Ideal for flexible living or subdivision.
Private Driveway & Ample Parking: Enhancing privacy and convenience.
Level, Usable Grounds: Perfect for a pool, garden room, or simply enjoying the open skies and sea air.

Why Carncothan?
Properties of this scale, with such flexibility and proximity to the beach, rarely come to market in Porthcothan. This is a blank canvas for your vision – whether that’s a dream family home, a coastal retreat, or a multi-use space.
Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the size, setting, and potential of this unique property.
