Bridge

Cornish village life doesn’t get much better than this! Hunters Estate Agents are proud to present this gorgeous three-bedroom character cottage, that looks like it’s stepped out of a countryside watercolour painting. There’s a fabulous pub just down the road, woodland footpaths on your rear doorstep, and if you hop on your bicycle, the beach is only six minutes or so away. Sounds pretty idyllic, doesn’t it? This much-loved home offers beautifully presented accommodation, with the two reception rooms being real highlights. And outside, we have something very special: a magical hillside garden with two main tiers, featuring a lovely array of mature plants and shrubs.

The Property - They say first impressions count – and this cottage makes a truly unforgettable one. With its double-fronted elevation, characterful sash windows and timeless period charm, it’s the sort of home that instantly wins hearts. A pretty pathway, framed by an established trellised arch dressed in greenery, leads you to the front door. Let’s take a look at the interior!

Step inside and the cottage immediately feels like home. The kitchen–dining room exudes warmth and character, with a wood-burning stove set within a traditional inglenook fireplace – a marvellous spot to unwind by with a good book and steaming cup of tea on a cosy winter’s evening. Bespoke wooden cabinetry offers ample storage and food preparation space, while the room proportions make it ideal for both everyday family life, and entertaining! A red Aga adds a splash of colourful charm, while the beamed ceilings lend a sense of heritage and history. Leading just off the kitchen you will find a separate utility room – we love the practicality!

Also on the ground floor is a separate sitting room, again brimming with character — from its beamed ceilings, window seat, and wood-burning stove to its timeless cottage charm, it feels like a scene lifted straight from a Daphne du Maurier novel.

Upstairs, there are three charming bedrooms, with the spacious primary bedroom in particular enjoying an abundance of natural light, from two windows, that bounces off the crisp white walls and boarded floors. The family bathroom is well appointed, featuring a modern white suite with a shower over the bath, hand basin, and WC.

The Gardens - Immediately outside the property is a private path that runs the length of the home, along with handy storage — ideal for keeping surfboards after a day at the nearby beach. Climb the first set of steps and you’ll reach the initial garden level, laid with stone chippings and bordered by an attractive array of mature plants and shrubs. A raised deck (ready for replacing) provides a delightful outlook across the rooftops and treetops. Beyond this, across the scenic coast-to-coast tramway and cycle path (formerly the Bissoe Trail), lies the largest section of garden. With the trail offering direct access into Portreath, which is famous for its beautiful beach, this truly is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise. This section of garden is so peaceful and tranquil, offering a greenhouse and raised beds.

The Location - Bridge
Just inland from Portreath lies the village of Bridge, a charming little community with a traditional Cornish pub, leafy lanes, and easy access to both the coast and countryside — the perfect gateway between beachside living and rural tranquillity.

Portreath
(According to Google: a four-minute car drive or six-minute cycle away)

Nestled on Cornwall’s breathtaking north coast, Portreath is village where natural beauty, coastal heritage, and community spirit meet in perfect harmony. Once a humble fishing hamlet, where pilchard boats dotted the shore, it later grew into a bustling harbour at the heart of Cornwall’s mining industry, exporting copper and importing coal. Today, Portreath is celebrated for its sweeping sandy beach, dramatic cliffside walks, and foodie haven hotspots.

The village boasts a selection of independent cafés, traditional pubs, and family-run shops, giving the village a warm, authentic character that is so easy to fall in love with. Then there’s the golden sweep of Portreath Beach — a sandy cove embraced by rugged headlands, perfect for swimming, surfing, or simply unwinding to the rhythm of the Atlantic. From here, the South West Coast Path meanders across dramatic clifftops, revealing panoramic sea views and some of Cornwall’s most unspoilt landscapes. Fun fact, this particular stretch of the SWCP is Jamie’s (our director) very favourite!

Portreath Primary school is very highly regarded by local families, and are hailed for creating their own unique ‘Growing and Making a Difference Curriculum’ – where the three main curriculum drivers are curiosity, creativity, and courage. And there’s so much to do for kids around here. Within a short drive you’ll find amenities such as ‘The Track’ a family friendly bike park, and the eighteen-acre site of Cornwall Gold.

Combining the charm of a small Cornish village with the vibrancy of coastal living, Portreath is a place where life moves at a gentler pace, yet every day brings the possibility of a new adventure.

Redruth
(According to Google: an eleven-minute car drive or twenty three minute cycle away)

Standing as one of Cornwall’s principal towns, it offers a comprehensive range of amenities that make everyday living easy. From well-regarded secondary schools and healthcare facilities to large supermarkets, quirky independent shops, and leisure options, Redruth provides the services and conveniences expected of a thriving Cornish hub. Steeped in mining history and part of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site, its rich heritage can still be seen in the grand architecture, engine houses, and landmarks that give the town its distinctive character.
