The Lugger, Portscatho, Cornwall. TR2

This very special property that has the benefit of the most magnificent position, is set towards the end of the highly regarded and sought after location of The Lugger, and has the most spectacular views over Gerrans Bay, looking across towards Portscatho village and its sandy beach, Porthcurnick beach and along the coastline to Nare Head and Gull Rock.

This double fronted Georgian style house, we are informed has been in the same family ownership for over 100 years, which we feel is a real reflection on how special this house is and what an exciting opportunity this is for a buyer looking for a sizeable front line waterside property within the village.

The house retains many period features, with its sash windows, high ceilings, impressive ornate ceiling rose in the dining room, ornate ceiling cornices of which in the dining room is particularly magnificent, oak fitted cupboards and internal oak panel doors to some ground floor rooms. The entrance lobby and main hallway has a lovely period internal door with a glazed panel with inset coloured glass corner panels, there is impressive deep ceiling cornice and an ornate moulded archway. There is a beautiful period staircase to the first floor landing with a just over six feet high window on the half landing. There is a fireplace in the lounge, oil fired Rayburn (oil supply not connected) in the kitchen and there is a range of outbuildings on the edge of the rear courtyard, that comprise a wash room/ potential utility room with internal store room, the boiler room and a garden store.

The property has access at the rear up to a good sized area of garden that is set above the property, that has great potential to turn into a fantastic garden retreat and make the most of the phenomenal sea and coastal views looking over Gerrans Bay and across to the various surrounding beaches.

Entrance lobby, hallway, lounge with fantastic and close range sea and coastal views, dining room with similar views, study/ family room, kitchen/ breakfast room, outer lobby/ utility and W/C. First floor landing, main bedroom with phenomenal sea, beach and coastal views and there is potential next door for an en/suite. Second double bedroom again with phenomenal sea, beach and coastal views. Bedroom three is a double bedroom with views to the rear of the property and the fourth bedroom is a single bedroom with similar sea and beach views to bedrooms one and two. There is a family bathroom, a separate W/C and a separate shower, all off the main landing. In this area of the landing with the bathroom, W/C and shower, we think there might be potential to reconfigure the layout to create an en-suite for the main bedroom as well as a family bathroom.

Outbuildings, front garden with space for a table and chairs in which to take in the outstanding sea and coastal views out over Gerrans Bay and watch the various fishing boats and sailing craft as they come and go. Rear courtyard and there is access up to the further elevated rear garden with magnificent sea and coastal views as previously described.

The property previously had oil fired central heating, however, the oil tank has been removed, leaving the radiator system and central heating boiler (not checked) in the property, that is not currently connected to an oil supply.

NB: As well as the house being available for sale, we have two further lots available for sale, that are located with access alongside the neighbouring property on The Lugger. We have a block of six garages and a yard that is available for sale. Of the six garages, three are currently rented out and the other three have been leased out. All six garages bring in an income.

The block of garages and yard is available for sale with a guide price of £130,000.

The further lot that we have available for sale, is located to the left of the garages, that forms a boat house with sail loft above. This building could also be ideal for garaging if required and the space above could be ideal for storage or maybe as a potential outside office or studio if required.

The boathouse is available for sale with a guide price of £120,000.
