Description
This stunning property has been in the same family's ownership for some 40 years. With spacious accommodation throughout, all maintained to a very good standard - this handsome granite dwelling has an abundance of original features that only add to the property's grand charm. Both reception rooms have working fireplaces and picture rails, with some lovely built-in storage cupboards and shelves in the alcoves.
The kitchen is bright and in extremely good order with some integrated appliances, and opens out to the rear courtyard where you have plenty of space for al fresco dining. The sitting room similarly has French doors that lead you out to the side garden which is mostly laid to lawn and stretches up and around the property.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, with the master bedroom being a large double enjoying sea views - this room, like the reception rooms has picture rails, a decorative fireplace and some built in storage. The two other bedrooms are equally charming with built-in storage and a fireplace in the second bedroom also.
The garden is a real asset to the property - being a generous corner plot with elevated views toward the coast and sea. The lawned space is divided by some shrubs and hedging in places, and is bounded by granite hedging.
There is a detached garage accessed over a driveway at the rear of the property.
Once a busy fishing cove, Porthgwarra is most recognisable now as one of the idyllic locations used for BBC's Poldark series. At low tide, the cove has a soft, sandy beach surrounded by the iconic wild, rugged coastal cliffs that West Cornwall is famed for.
There is a small, but very popular, cafe at the top of the granite slipway to the beach, and the winding road back to the main road brings you out near St Levan and Porthcurno - deep in the heart of West Cornwall's unspoilt scenery.
Coastal patch lead off in both directions from Porthgwarra, offering exceptional views, and some variably challenging routes to more hidden coves.
