DESCRIPTION

Seathrift occupies a stunning frontline position with uncompromised, uninterruptable panoramic sea views located moments away from the highly popular and increasingly in demand harbourside village of Porthleven along the highly desired Loe Bar Road. Seathrift provides an almost unique opportunity which rarely comes onto the open market.

In brief, the accommodation comprises an entrance porch, large lounge with bay window, study/inner hall, kitchen breakfast room, four bedrooms, utility room, shower room, sun room and family bathroom. Accessed from one of the first floor bedrooms is a delightful 3 Ref: LCAA5899 sundeck with vistas that really have to be seen to be believed. To the front of Seathrift is a broad ‘full’ width sitting out terrace whilst to the side of the property is a single garage with steps leading up to an elevated, yet surprisingly large garden which ascends away from the property into the hillside providing plenty of scope and opportunity for improvements. Equally, as one would expect, the gardens at Seathrift provide fabulous views.

The position of Seathrift really cannot be overplayed. Bear in mind the relative close proximity to the hustle and bustle of Porthleven, the scope to further explore Seathrift’s potential and the really quite glorious views and you are left with a stunning, one off opportunity that we as sole agent believe will attract interest from well funded purchasers and therefore advise an early viewing to avoid disappointment.

Porthleven is a picturesque harbourside village located on the south west facing coast of Cornwall, with the Peninsula to the east and Land’s End to the west. The harbour is at the heart of the village with its busting atmosphere, interesting shops and highly regarded restaurants. There are many services within the town including schooling, a doctor’s surgery and general stores as well as various arts and sports clubs and societies. The harbour still protects an active fishing fleet which adds to the day to day spectacle 5 Ref: LCAA5899 both within the village and also from the outlook of Seathrift. The harbour mouth is protected by a pier with a prominent church at its start and on the other side of the harbour entrance is a well known surfing break. The South West Coast Path stretches away along the coastline in both directions, to the north west above a rugged cliff lined shore towards Praa Sands and to the south east, along Porthleven Sands and past Loe Bar with Loe Pool and Penrose woodland walks behind.

The ancient market town of is only a few miles away and is famous for its annual Flora Day dance. The town is the main centre for the area and a wide range of national and local retailers, out of town supermarkets, trading estates, a sports centre, schooling up to college level and a small hospital.
