The whole property is exceptional and must be viewed internally to fully appreciate.

Location - Portloe is one of the jewels of the Roseland Peninsula. It has seen little or no extensive development in modern times and still retains its traditional atmosphere with clusters of old stone cottages set in a cleft of the cliff and descending to a delightful small harbour still used by local fishermen. Local facilities include a pub, hotel and church but there is also a bus service throughout the year to St Austell and Truro city centre. The larger village of Veryan known for its picturesque round houses built in the 19th Century by a clergymen is about two miles away. Here there is a pub, church, primary school, post office/general store as well as a social/sports hall with indoor bowls and tennis courts. Much of the land in the area is owned and protected by the National Trust and the clifftop walks in the immediate vicinity are exceptional. The south coastal path is within a two minute walk with stunning views. The nearby Carne and Pendower beaches are also favourites with locals and visitors alike and the city of Truro with its Cathedral and fine shopping centre is about twelve miles away.
