Property code: OC-SAMCOT

Located right above the beach and just around the corner from Porthleven's iconic clock tower, this superbly positioned cottage is perfectly placed to make the most of those stunning sea views over Mount's Bay. Samphire Cottage has the rare claim that it has been owned by the same family for seven generations, and this can be felt when you walk into this loved family home.

A sun room leads into an open plan living/dining room from which those glorious sea views can be enjoyed. The living room is at one end with comfy sofas, large inglenook and wood-burning stove. At the other end is the dining area with dining table.

This room opens up into a well equipped kitchen breakfast room with five-burner induction hob, larder and belfast sink. There is a large breakfast bar and cosy seating area with more comfy sofas, and due to the open plan nature of the whole of the downstairs sea views can also be enjoyed from here. To the back of the house is a porch which leads out to the rear entrance.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms; a king and double to the front of the cottage which both have sea views, and two single rooms to the rear of the cottage. There is a family bathroom with bath and separate shower.

Outside to the front of the cottage is a patio terrace with table and chairs, where you have uninterrupted views out to sea overlooking Mount's Bay.

Porthleven is a vibrant fishing village with a fantastic community and boasts an array of superb restaurants and galleries, as well as a choice of good pubs and supermarket. Just 2 miles from the town of Helston and 12 miles from Penzance.
