Guide Price £395,000 4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale Bay View Terrace, Helston, Porthleven

Built approximately one hundred years ago, this imposing, grade II listed property offers one of the finest marine views in this most sought after coastal village. The subject of major improvements within the last two years, the property is extremely well presented throughout. Centrally heated and fully double glazed, the four bedroom accommodation is currently used as a successful holiday let but would equally suit purchasers seeking a prestigious home or weekend retreat.

LOCATION
Bay View Terrace is widely considered to be one of the most sought after locations in this charming fishing port. Set just above the harbour wall, the views are outstanding and the ideal vantage point for gazing across the outer harbour to Mount’s Bay or the equally impressive inland scenery beyond the inner harbour.
Porthleven itself is famed for its picturesque harbour, miles of beaches and dramatic cliff-top walks. The village enjoys an array of harbour-side pubs, restaurants and galleries as well as a convenience store, chemist and primary school.
More comprehensive schooling, shopping and banking is located just two miles away in the market town of Helston. Other nearby towns include Penzance, St Ives and Falmouth and the cathedral city of Truro is approximately fifteen miles away.

THE PROPERTY
As previously mentioned, the property has been the subject of major improvement work within the last two years and is being offered for sale in excellent decorative order. The spacious accommodation has been imaginatively adapted to create the ideal living environment right on the harbour’s edge.
