A spacious coastal home perfectly suited to a large group with panoramic ocean views across the bay. This detached house is in a prime waterfront location on Loe Bar Road, which leads directly to the South West Coast Path and on to a scenic walk through woodland at the Penrose Estate. Porthleven is a harbour town and has a buzz of activity throughout the year with an excellent range of local restaurants nestled around the harbour offering a delicious variety of food styles. Crabbing off the slipway or kayaking in the harbour are just some of the activities to enjoy. Rock pooling or bodyboarding at the sandy beach provide family fun and boat trips can be booked locally. A little further afield is the historic St Michael’s Mount in Marazion (8.1 miles) and stunning Kynance Cove on the Lizard Peninsula (14.3 miles) with its clear turquoise waters and rock formations.
Open the front door of this sprawling home and enter a traditional hallway with stairs to the first floor and an adjoining hallway leading to the ground floor bedrooms and bathrooms. The useful utility room on this level is ideal for offloading beach gear, walking boots and dogs and serves as a laundry room, housing the washing machine, tumble dryer and additional fridge for those essential supplies. A sociable kitchen and dining room to the front incorporates a large dining table to gather round and enjoy extended mealtimes together and with natural daylight flooding in due to the south-facing position, it feels bright and welcoming. Along the hallway is the private bedroom wing arranged as two king bedrooms with en suites, two twin bedrooms and a separate bathroom. All rooms are of a generous size and provide good storage and comfort. Upstairs is a further double bedroom with en suite and enticing, unrestricted sea views. Listen to the sound of the sea lapping against the rocks whilst you drift off to sleep at night. This floor is also home to the large living room and a place to sink into the stylish sofas for conversations or movie nights. The feature electric fire creates a cosy glow on darker evenings and on bright days, throw open the door to the Juliet balcony and let the fresh sea air drift in. On a clear day, you may be lucky enough to spot a pod of dolphins or the odd seal swimming by as you stand and gaze at the beauty of the ocean before you.
Venturing outside to the paved terrace with the most delightful and far-reaching sea views, the garden furniture and a barbecue makes for a great sociable area to relax and unwind. The games room by the terrace houses a pool table and is perfect for creating some competitive family fun across the generations.
