General Remarks And Location - This is a very rare opportunity to purchase a waterfront property in such a desirable location in the centre of Portscatho. Chenoweth is positioned just off The Lugger where it enjoys fabulous views out over Gerrans Bay stretching from the harbour along the coastline to Porthcurnick Beach, Pednvadan Point and Nare Head in the distance with the Dodman beyond.
The property has been the treasured home of the late owner for very many years and will appeal to those wanting a low maintenance waterside home for a bolt-hole or as a full-time residence.

The villages of Portscatho and neighbouring Gerrans between them offer a range of shops, two public houses, social club, galleries, primary school, ice cream parlour and doctors surgery. The village is situated approximately five miles from St. Mawes which has a regular foot passenger ferry service to Falmouth. The city of Truro is approximately sixteen miles by road but there is also a short cut route via the King Harry Ferry. Sailing facilities are available at nearby Percuil, there are a variety of beaches in the area whilst coastal and inland walks abound and most of which are owned and protected by the National Trust.

The Dwelling - The property is substantially constructed with accommodation arranged over three floors. There is a garage on the lower ground floor where there is also a studio and utility area. Internal stairways provide access between all levels whilst outside steps lead up to the upper ground floor and the main entrance. On this level a hallway provides access to 3 bedrooms (or 2 bedrooms and a study) plus a shower-room and with the smaller bedroom or study having a door to the balcony extending along the entire seaward side of the building. On the top floor there is a spacious sitting room, newly fitted kitchen, separate dining room and a cloakroom.

About Philip Martin, Truro

9 Cathedral Lane, Truro, TR1 2QS

Independent, Professional Estate Agents in Cornwall

Established in 1986, Philip Martin is an independent estate and letting agency providing professional property advice across mid and west Cornwall, with offices in Truro and St Mawes.

We act for sellers of a wide range of quality property, from city and village homes to coastal and rural houses, offering clear, considered advice tailored to each individual instruction and market condition.

We believe an estate agent’s role is not simply to market property, but to advise, guide and negotiate effectively in order to achieve the best possible outcome. Philip Martin is led by RICS-qualified partners, supported by an experienced local team with detailed knowledge of Cornwall’s highly localised property markets. This professional grounding allows us to provide measured advice on pricing, presentation and strategy from the outset.

Our Truro sales office, located directly opposite the cathedral in Cathedral Lane, and our St Mawes office on the Roseland Peninsula ensure excellent local visibility and access to buyers. All properties are marketed jointly from both offices, providing strong local exposure combined with wider regional reach.

In addition to residential sales and lettings, we offer professional valuations and advice relating to probate and estate matters, taxation and insurance, divorce and litigation, as well as planning considerations and development potential. This breadth of expertise is particularly valuable for higher-value, coastal and more complex property transactions.

Philip Martin is a long-established independent Cornish agency, known for a calm, professional and strategic approach. Our focus is on providing clear advice, maintaining high professional standards and achieving the best possible result for our clients.
