DESCRIPTION

Found in a quite incredible position enjoying staggering south westerly views over Porthtowan surfing beach and along the rugged north coast shoreline to Godrevy Lighthouse and St Ives is this remarkable large nearly new contemporary reverse level coastal home. The setting is quite fantastic being towards the end of a short private lane where other properties have been developed to take advantage of the obvious views and the proximity of the coastal footpath which leads down to Porthtowan beach below and to the north across the cliff tops to Chapel Porth, a little known surfers retreat. The open outlook takes in distant farmland to the south east, St Agnes Beacon to the north and open sea to the west affords spectacular sunsets. A short walk down the footpath leads to the long sandy beach and excellent surfing conditions at Porthtowan as well as the famous 3 Ref: LCAA6494 Blue Bar which has become so popular due to the sunsets that can be seen from the terrace – although it will of course be possible to witness these from the house!

The house was constructed in 2014 to an architect’s design with a timber frame, block exterior, K rendered and under a pitched slate roof. The house was designed to maximise the outlook with a reverse level to the accommodation and a staggering 41’ long open- plan kitchen/dining/living room takes up a large portion of the first floor. Banks of Velux roof windows, an interesting angled window on the seaward gable and large sit out balconies to both the front and rear also help make this a spectacular space. Off the kitchen is a pantry, wc and there is also an additional large room on this floor which can be used as a fifth double bedroom or additional reception room. The lower floor has a generous hall and four double bedrooms, two of which have en-suite shower rooms and the other two share a contemporary bathroom. The master bedroom has a corner window looking straight down the coast and the other rooms also have views to the sea. Both levels of the house have underfloor heating below engineered oak floorboards and solar panels pre-heat the household water. 4 Ref: LCAA6494 A gated driveway gives plentiful parking and there is space to create a detached double garage in a sunken and likely to be little used position fronting the lane, subject to all necessary consents. There are both front and rear lawned gardens, the front being edged with hydrangeas and hedging whilst the rear backs onto fields and has a large timber shed in the corner.

Porthtowan has a village store, post office and the Blue Bar restaurant whilst there are further facilities available at nearby Mount Hawke and St Agnes which between them cater for all day to day needs. Truro is around 15 minutes’ drive away and is Cornwall’s capital city. Many local and national retailers mix among Truro’s Georgian and Victorian cobbled streets and there are a wide selection of restaurants, bars and entertainments including The Hall for Cornwall theatre, a museum and cinema. Porthtowan lies in the catchment for the newly built Richard Lander secondary school and Truro College, whilst there are also three private schools in Truro. The A30 expressway is about a 5 minute’ drive from the house and gives dual carriageway access throughout Cornwall as well as to the motorway network at Exeter. The Penzance to Paddington main rail line passes through Truro with journey times to London being around 4½ hours.
