Porthcurno, St. Levan, Penzance, Cornwall, TR19

The Wearhouse occupies the most fabulous coastal position on the front edge of this popular village. It is approached via its own private lane which is shared with one other property. The house is beautifully presented with accommodation arranged over one level and a lower ground floor utility room. The self-contained apartment, which can easily be integrated back into the main house if preferred, offers two bedrooms, a shower room and kitchen/living room and can be accessed both internally and externally.

The main part of the house is approached off the split-level entrance hall, which in turn leads to the kitchen, fitted with farmhouse style units, a Rangemaster electric cooker with six gas hobs (LPG), a dishwasher and a fridge/freezer; there is also a walk-in larder. Both the sitting room and the dining room have stunning views out over the coast and the sitting room has a multi-fuel stove set within a stone built fireplace and the dining room has double doors leading to the terrace and gardens. There is a study off the sitting room.

In addition to the two bedrooms in the apartment, a further two double en suite bedrooms are situated within the main body of the house, with the main bedroom also having the benefit of a dressing room and double doors to the gardens.

The views from all the principal rooms are stunning and in short, The Wearhouse offers an extremely rare and exciting opportunity to purchase one of the few truly frontline, coastal homes in this sought after village.

Porthcurno is a tiny village with a worldwide reputation for its extraordinary beauty. Porthcurno Beach has been listed as one of the 10 most beautiful bays in the world by beach-inspector.com and cornwall-beaches.co.uk stated, 'in terms of raw beauty, few beaches anywhere can match it; near white sand, crystal clear turquoise waters and an amphitheatre of rugged granite cliffs as a backdrop'. Situated at the southern end of the Penwith Peninsula, this outstanding beach is a 'hop, skip and a jump' from The Wearhouse!

Both the garden and the house enjoy breath-taking views of the sea and the house is surrounded by National Trust land and lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Porthcurno is of great historical interest and steeped in World War II history. The village was an important communication hub between Great Britain, Europe and America.
