Description

Once the heart of the village, this former Post Office has been thoughtfully transformed into a stylish and spacious four bedroom family home blends period character with contemporary living and is positioned within two hundred yards of the beach.

The open plan kitchen, dining, and living area occupies what was once the main public space of the Post Office. It’s now an airy, contemporary hub for family living flooded with natural light from large front windows.  The kitchen features sleek cabinets, an island breakfast bar and an adjoining utility room which provides practical storage and laundry space.  There is also a modern ground floor shower room.

On the first floor, the property offers four generous bedrooms - each designed for comfort and privacy. 
There are good sized bedrooms on the first floor and a family bathroom with a separate cloakroom. 

The delightful terraced rear garden is one of the features of the property from where there are sweeping views of the village and surrounding countryside.

The property is offered for sale with no onward chain and an internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality of the accommodation on offer.

The property is situated in the centre of the picturesque fishing village of Porthallow and within close proximity to the beach.

The village was once part of the thriving pilchard industry and is still frequented by local fishermen.  Many visitors come to admire the panoramic views over towards Falmouth Bay and the sea beyond, there are also wonderful clifftop walks that take in the fabulous views and a range of local amenities such as a public house, convenience shop and a cafe.

This rural village is renowned for its surrounding countryside and attractive moorland whilst being accessible to other coastal villages and beaches such as Coverack and Porthoustock and creeks on the beautiful Helford River. 

The nearby village of St Keverne has a central square with a church, shops, public house and primary schools.  The historic market town of Helston provides a more comprehensive range of facilities including comprehensive schooling, a sixth form college, a sports centre with an indoor swimming pool, a cinema, doctors’ surgeries, pharmacies and a good range of shops and supermarkets.

About MAP Estate Agents, Barncoose

Gateway Business Centre, Wilson Way, Barncoose, Illogan Highway, TR15 3RQ

Selling and letting homes across West Cornwall in a very personal and modern way. Please let us put your home 'On the MAP'

The MAP team are all very experienced and well established property professionals who have helped thousands of buyers and sellers over the years across West Cornwall. Between us we have over 125 years of selling and letting homes in the region.

Since opening in 2017 the business has grown considerably mainly through recommendation. We are delighted to publish the numerous testimonials we have received online and to challenge the poor perceptions the public have about estate agents. Estate agents are not all the same!

MAP uses the latest technology including 360 degree cameras but is primarily about customer service something that is often very much lacking when selling or buying a home.

We would love to help and discuss any potential home move with clients so don't hesitate to get in touch. We offer a free, no obligation valuation service and are equally as happy speaking to you with any home moving questions you may have.

We look forward to hearing from you if we can assist in anyway.
