Porthallow

Enjoying glorious sea views and an elevated coastal outlook, 'Gwel Teg' is a spacious three bedroom detached bungalow situated on a generous plot with beautifully landscaped gardens and off road parking.

Situated in the quintessential Cornish fishing village of Porthallow, the property enjoys an enviable outlook not only to Porthallow Cove, but across to the village and lush wooded valley beyond. Offering versatile living space, with scope to extend and adapt to provide further accommodation as desired (subject to any required permissions or consents), the residence seems certain to appeal to those seeking an individual coastal bungalow or second home.

A real feature of Gwel Teg are its gardens, which have been thoughtfully designed and landscaped to provide a mixture of hard landscaped areas interspersed with lawns and pathways together with a fine range of raised flower borders. The rear garden is tiered with several seating areas taking full advantage of the sunny aspect and fabulous outlook to sea.

The accommodation offered by this delightful bungalow comprises, in brief, of an entrance porch, hallway, lounge with a feature wood burning stove and a nicely fitted kitchen/breakfast room which boasts several built-in appliances. From the inner hallway access is provided to the family bathroom and three bedrooms with the master benefitting from a nicely appointed en suite shower room. The residence is warmed by electric heating, with underfloor heating in the bathroom and en suite, and has double glazing.

Set on the more sheltered eastern side of the magnificent Lizard Peninsula, not far from the tranquil creeks of the Helford River, lies one of Cornwall's most historic coastal villages. Known locally as 'Pralla', Porthallow was once a thriving fishing community and home to a busy fleet of pilchard luggers, hence the name of its traditional village pub, 'The Five Pilchards', which is currently awaiting new owners. Steeped in maritime heritage, this idyllic corner of the south Cornwall coast offers a wonderful local community within easy reach of the region's most beautiful beaches. A good range of day to day facilities are on offer in nearby St Keverne with more comprehensive facilities including a choice of national supermarkets on offer in Helston. Porthallow is recognised as the half-way point along the world-famous South West Coast Path as it winds its way from Minehead to Poole, with far-reaching views across the sparkling waters of Falmouth Bay and St Mawes to the Roseland Peninsula and beyond. Porthallow Beach is sheltered by the surrounding headland, whilst Porthallow Cove is full of rock pools at low tide and is also a great spot for snorkelling and wild swimming. Porthallow Village Association look after the beach and Village hall, with residents enjoying the right to moor, store and launch their boats and take advantage of the community events on offer. On the edge of the village lies the highly regarded Fat Apples Cafe - a perfect spot for lunch.
