Neptune, Mawgan Porth, TR8

On the market for the first time in nearly a century, Neptune occupies one of the most coveted coastal positions in Cornwall - a commanding elevated setting above the golden sands of Mawgan Porth, one of the county’s most desirable surfing beaches.

Lovingly held within the same family since the 1930s, Neptune represents a truly rare opportunity to acquire a coastal home of exceptional potential. Set within approximately 0.31 acres of grounds, this detached four-bedroom residence enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across the Atlantic Ocean and the dramatic headlands that frame Mawgan Porth Bay.

The existing property extends to just over 1,230 sq. ft. and is approached via a private driveway with a detached single garage and extensive gardens to the front, side, and rear. The internal accommodation comprises four first-floor bedrooms, a family bathroom, and, on the ground floor, a spacious L-shaped living and dining room with dual aspect windows that make the most of the sea views, together with a modern fitted kitchen to the rear.

Constructed in the traditional manner with cavity block walls beneath a slate roof and fitted with UPVC double glazing, Neptune provides a comfortable home as it stands. However, its true allure lies in the remarkable development potential-offering discerning buyers the chance to design and create a bespoke coastal residence perfectly positioned to capture the magnificent ocean vista. Any redevelopment would, of course, be subject to the necessary planning consents.

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a prominent coastal plot in one of Cornwall’s most sought-after beachfront locations-an idyllic setting where the sound of the surf and the rhythm of the tides define daily life.
