Offering generous accommodation, extensive outdoor entertaining areas, ample driveway parking and a garage, this is a truly special property with the added benefit of planning in principle for a separate townhouse to the rear.

Properties offering such spectacular views and exciting development potential rarely come to the market, making this an opportunity not to be missed.

Outside

The property is approached via a generous driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles, together with a substantial garage fitted with an electric door.

To the front, a beautifully positioned paved patio leads to an extensive decked entertaining area which wraps around the front and side of the bungalow. Enclosed by attractive slatted fencing and incorporating a pergola, this wonderful outdoor space provides the perfect setting for relaxing, entertaining friends and family, or simply enjoying the spectacular coastal scenery. The views from here are truly breathtaking, overlooking Portreath beach, the harbour and the surrounding coastline.

The decked area currently accommodates a hot tub and garden furniture, creating a private and inviting space in which to enjoy the surroundings. Outside electrical points add further convenience.

The decking continues around the side of the property towards the rear garden, where there is a summer house and additional storage.

Conservatory and Lounge

Entering through the UPVC double-glazed front door, you arrive in an attractive octagonal conservatory, presented in good condition and featuring wood-effect flooring. This bright and welcoming space provides an ideal place to sit and enjoy the outlook.

The conservatory opens directly into the spacious lounge, which continues with matching wood-effect flooring. The room benefits from smooth walls and ceilings, decorative coving, a combination of inset LED and pendant lighting, and a striking inset log burner set within the chimney breast, complete with an attractive surround and slate hearth.

The conservatory allows natural light to flood into the lounge, creating a bright and comfortable living space.

A glazed wooden door leads through to the kitchen.

Kitchen and Pantry

The kitchen is fitted with attractive cream matt Shaker-style wall and base units, complemented by wood-effect work surfaces and tiled flooring. There is a double Bosch oven with microwave above, space for a fridge freezer, a four-burner LPG gas hob and plenty of storage.

The adjoining pantry provides additional practical workspace and storage, incorporating a traditional butler sink with swan-neck tap, further Shaker-style cabinetry and a UPVC double-glazed window overlooking the side elevation.

The kitchen also provides access through a UPVC double-glazed door to the side decking and pergola, making it particularly convenient for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Dining Area

The dining area provides ample space for a substantial dining table accommodating up to eight people, making it ideal for family meals and entertaining. A large picture-frame UPVC double-glazed window enjoys wonderful views across the decking towards Portreath beach, ensuring the coastal setting remains a feature of everyday living.

Family Bathroom

The principal family bathroom is generously proportioned and features tile-effect flooring, a close-coupled WC, wash basin, panelled bath and radiator. The bath is surrounded by attractive marble-effect panelling extending from floor to ceiling, complemented by a contemporary black shower over the bath. An obscured UPVC double-glazed window provides natural light while maintaining privacy, and a wall-mounted heated towel rail completes the facilities.

Bedroom One

The first double bedroom is situated at the front of the property and offers generous proportions, with a large UPVC double-glazed window allowing plenty of natural light.

Recently redecorated in an attractive boutique-inspired style, the room features white walls, decorative cream wall panelling behind the bed, coving, two pendant light fittings, a radiator and electrical points.

Planning in Principle – Additional Two-Bedroom Townhouse

One of the property’s most exciting features is the additional development opportunity.

The current owner has obtained planning in principle for a separate two-bedroom townhouse on land to the rear of the bungalow, where a second garage is currently situated. The proposed property would benefit from the same desirable coastal setting, with the potential to enjoy fabulous sea views across Portreath.

This provides a rare opportunity for a purchaser to acquire a substantial coastal bungalow with the added attraction of a potential additional dwelling, subject to the relevant planning requirements and any necessary further consents.

Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries with Cornwall Council regarding the planning status, conditions and requirements for any future development.

Location

Lighthouse Hill is a highly desirable position within Portreath, renowned for its beautiful coastal scenery and elevated views across the beach and harbour. Portreath itself offers a charming coastal village atmosphere, with a sandy beach, harbour, local amenities and access to some of Cornwall’s finest coastal walks.

Whether you are looking for a permanent residence, a coastal retreat or a property with additional development potential, this location offers an exceptional combination of lifestyle and opportunity.

A Rare Coastal Opportunity

Although the bungalow would benefit from some further updating and a little TLC in places, it offers generous accommodation, attractive existing features, superb outdoor entertaining areas and, above all, a spectacular coastal position.

The combination of a detached bungalow, extensive parking, garage, panoramic sea views and planning in principle for a two-bedroom townhouse makes this a particularly exciting opportunity.

Properties in such a sought-after location, with views of this quality and the added benefit of development potential, rarely become available. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
