Portscatho, Trevone, PL28

Jackie Stanley is delighted to bring to the market Portscatho, a substantial two/three-bedroom detached bungalow with detailed planning permission for a striking, contemporary replacement dwelling.

Set in a quietly elevated position on a private cul-de-sac above the coveted beach of Trevone Bay, the property enjoys far-reaching views of the Atlantic Ocean and sits within a peaceful yet highly desirable coastal enclave.

Standing at approximately 1,041 square feet on a plot of around 0.14 acres, the existing accommodation includes a covered front porch, a fitted kitchen with electric oven and hob, a reception room with a log burner and back boiler for hot water, and a sitting room featuring a second log burner and views out to sea. There are two double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a naturally lit rear porch. The property also benefits from UPVC double glazed windows, an attached single garage, and driveway parking. The surrounding gardens wrap around three sides of the bungalow, established with lawns, mature shrubs, and hedging, offering both privacy and a sense of seclusion.

In May 2025, planning permission was granted under reference PA/2501341 for the demolition of the existing dwelling and the construction of a stunning new four-bedroom self/custom build home with associated building works. This permission opens the door to a truly exceptional opportunity to design and build a contemporary coastal retreat that takes full advantage of the site’s setting and sea views. Services to the current property include mains gas, water, electricity and drainage.

Portscatho represents a rare chance to craft your dream home by the sea. Jackie Stanley highly recommends a viewing to appreciate the potential and visualize what could be created in this remarkable location.
