Ref: LCAA1820 Ref: LCAA7956 Offers around £500,000 (to include the majority of contents) Loe Cottage and Net Loft, Loe Bar Road, Porthleven, South Cornwall, TR13 9ER FREEHOLD A classic double fronted, 2 bedroomed, 2 bathroomed fisherman’s cottage and detached cliff top former net loft used as additional self-contained accommodation, in an outstanding frontline position taking in stunning panoramic south westerly views out across Mounts Bay framed by the Lands End and Lizard Peninsulas. With the incredibly important asset of generous off-road parking for 2 cars and a large cliff top terrace with excellent views along the beach to the mouth of Porthleven harbour. 2 Ref: LCAA7956 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: kitchen/dining room, sitting room. First Floor: galleried landing, double bedroom en-suite, second double bedroom, bath/shower room. Former Net Loft Large open-plan accommodation with kitchenette and shower room off. Outside: parking for 2 cars. Very large cliff top terrace with some of the most dramatic views in Cornwall. Small rear courtyard off the cottage. DESCRIPTION Loe Cottage is found on the famous Loe Bar Road stretching out from the harbourside in Porthleven towards the cliff top walks and long sandy beach around Loe Bar. This south facing double fronted cottage is particularly interesting as it also owns two parking spaces on the opposite side of the road and below these is a former Net Loft used as more accommodation opening onto a spectacular cliff top terrace. The views from both the cottage and the 3 Ref: LCAA7956 Net Loft are awe inspiring sweeping across Mounts Bay towards the Lands End peninsula. Fishing boats can be seen coming and going from Porthleven harbour and world class surfers enjoying barrelling waves just outside the harbour entrance. The double fronted cottage and Net Loft both have low maintenance uPVC windows and doors with the cottage having a small courtyard to the rear in addition to the large cliff top terrace. In the cottage one will find a kitchen/dining room to one side and a sitting room to the other, both with window seats facing the views. On the first floor are two double bedrooms both facing the views with the master having two of the three first floor windows on the front elevation and its own en-suite shower room. The other bedroom therefore enjoys sole use of the family bathroom. 4 Ref: LCAA7956 The Net Loft is set down and therefore does not restrict the views from the cottage and in here one will find a large open-plan space with fitted kitchenette and a shower room off. It is extremely rare to find a property in such a highly prized location with parking and more importantly with ownership to the cliff edge. The elevated outlook is incredible, and the sun sets from here, at all times of year, will live in the memory for years. LOCATION Porthleven is a picturesque harbourside village located on the south west facing coast of Cornwall, with the Lizard Peninsula to the east and Lands End to the west. The Ancient Harbour and the most southerly operating harbour in the UK. It is at the heart of the village with its bustling atmosphere, interesting shops and highly regarded inns and restaurants, including one owned by the celebrity chef Rick Stein. 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 both within the village and also from the outlook of Loe Cottage and the Net Loft. The harbour mouth is protected by a pier with a prominent church by the entrance and on the other side of the harbour entrance is a well known surfing break.

  • Coverack Walk
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Coverack to Kennack Sands Starting point and OS Grid reference Coverack Harbour (SW 785182) Ordnance Survey map OS Explorer 103 – The Lizard - Falmouth and Helston Distance 8.3 miles Traffic light rating Introduction: This walk is from Coverack, a typical Cornish fishing village with an attractive harbour and beach on the eastern side of the Lizard peninsula, to Kennack Sands. Kennack Sands are an important geological site and part of the Lizard National Nature Reserve. They have been declared a Site of Special Scientific Interest. There is also an opportunity to see the Terence Coventry sculpture park if you have time but be warned, you are likely to spend longer there than you expect as it is fascinating. Parking is “on street” in Coverack but this is limited and the bulk of the parking spaces are on the northern approach to the village on the B3293, where there is an “honesty box”. There is also a pay and display car park and toilets next to it. There is also a small “honesty box” car park to the rear of the Paris Hotel (by the harbour) but chances of there being space are slim. The bar at the Paris Hotel (names after a ship which ran aground in the 19th century) provides for welcome refreshment at the end of the walk and there are other alternatives in the village. Some of this walk takes place on roads but these are quiet lanes with little traffic. Overall, this is an easy walk. There are just a couple of steepish climbs from two coves and for this reason, I have awarded the amber traffic light.

  • Cornwall in the Bronze Age AICIA M CISIE
    CORNISH ARCHAEOLOGY No. 25 (1986) Cornwall in the Bronze Age AICIA M CISIE The Concept of a Bronze 'Age' Any review of the Bronze Age in Cornwall, or indeed in other areas of the British Isles, must today present the writer with a very different prospect to that which lay before Bernard Wailes 28 years ago, although much of the basic information remains the same. We now know, for example, that metallurgy was introduced into these islands before the middle of the third millennium bc, probably from two continental quarters, the Rhineland and the Atlantic region. Our period has lengthened and the calibration of radiocarbon dates means that it not only overlaps the Late Neolithic but also merges into the Iron Age in the mid-first millennium BC, giving a total of some 2000 years. The accumulation of data and dates, togther with advances in excavation and research techniques and the recognition of regional variation, make the whole concept of a Bronze 'age' far more complex than hitherto. In the 1960s, HawkeV scheme for the divisions of the British Bronze Age provided the framework (Hawkes, 1960) and was widely accepted in principle. As more radiocarbon dates have become available, there have nevertheless been surprises and many refinements have been applied, allowing a broader, more flexible approach into which ceramics and metalwork can be fitted. Today the most widely accepted scheme is that propounded by Burgess (in 5/0 wo OE AGE SIES SS 00 SX - 2,0 Fig 1 Location map showing principal sites mentioned in the text. Settlements or occupation

  • Lizard Lighthouse, Lizard Point
    U.S. Lighthouse Society ~ Lighthouses of the United Kingdom Lizard Lighthouse (Lizard Point, Cornwall) A NON-PROFIT HISTORICAL & EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY U.S. Lighthouse Society ~ Lighthouses of the United Kingdom History Lizard Lighthouse is a landfall and coastal mark giving a guide to vessels in passage along the English Channel and warning of the hazardous waters off Lizard Point. Many stories are told of the activities of wreckers around our coasts, most of which are grossly exaggerated, but small communities occasionally and sometimes officially benefited from the spoils of shipwrecks, and petitions for lighthouses were, in certain cases, rejected on the strength of local opinion; this was particularly true in the South West of England. The distinctive twin towers of the Lizard Lighthouse mark the most southerly point of mainland Britain. The coastline is particularly hazardous, and from early times the need for a beacon was obvious. Sir John Killigrew, a philanthropic Cornishman, applied for a patent. Apparently, because it was thought that a light on Lizard Point would guide enemy vessels and pirates to a safe landing, the patent was granted with the proviso that the light should be extinguished at the approach of the enemy. Killigrew agreed to erect the lighthouse at his own expense, for a rent of ʺtwenty nobles by the yearʺ, for a term of thirty years. Although he was willing to build the tower, he was too poor to bear the cost of maintenance, and intended to fund the project by collecting from ships that passed the point any voluntary contributions that the owners might offer him.

  • The Lizard National Nature Reserve
    The Lizard National Nature Reserve Shetland ponies on Predannack Cliffs Welcome to The Lizard National Nature Reserve Ma`n Lesard goz dinerby On the most southerly tip of Britain sits The Lizard peninsula; a place of special beauty where land and sea meet in a landscape of spectacular cliffs, rolling heathland and hidden coves – one of the most stunning places in the country to enjoy the outdoors. The Lizard National Nature Reserve stretches across nearly 2,000 hectares of the wild peninsula. An amazing diversity of wildlife thrives here, including especially rare and unusual plants. The heathland, coastal cliff vegetation and temporary ponds are of international importance. Natural England works with partners to manage the reserve and ensure important habitats and species are safeguarded for the future and that the special plants, animals and geology remain protected for everyone to enjoy. The mild climate means you can visit year round, and the cliff top rambles, scenic beaches and stunning heathland provide an opportunity to enjoy nature at its very best. Come prepared though... it’s not unusual to experience several seasons in one day on the Lizard. Shetland ponies on Predannack Cliffs Visiting the reserve The whole reserve is Open Access land – which means you are welcome to explore. But be aware that the terrain can be rough and wet away from the main tracks and paths so wear sturdy shoes. The South West Coast Path follows the perimeter of the peninsula giving good access to the reserve. Visit www.southwestcoastpath.com for information on walking the coast path. Take time to explore the beaches which are among the most picturesque in Britain.

  • Cornwall Council
    Cornwall Council Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment ANNEX 5 – Chronology of Major Flood Events in Cornwall June 2011 1800 – 1899 A storm caused coastal flooding affecting a number of communities along the south coast on 19-20 January 1817. Polperro harbour was destroyed by this storm and Looe was badly damaged. Truro suffered from numerous flooding events during the 1800s (1811, 1815, 1818, 1838, 1841, 1844, 1846, 1848 (twice), 1869, 1875, 1880, 1882 (twice), 1885, 1894 and 1899). These were usually associated with high river flows coinciding with high tides. Known as the Great Flood of 16 July 1847, due to an intense rainstorm event on Davidstow Moor water collected in the valley and forced a passage of water down the Camel and Inney. Bodmin - Dunmere Valley and the whole area below Dunmere Hill was flooded by the River Camel. Dunmere Bridge was washed away as was the new 40 feet (12 m) high railway bridge. At St. Breward, bridges from Gam Bridge to Dunmere were washed away by a wall of water 12 to 18 feet (3.5-5.5 m) above normal along the River Camel. The devastating floods that swept down from Davidstow Moor washed away all but two of the bridges along the River Camel - Wadebridge and Helland being the only survivors. Serious flooding occurred in Par and St Blazey in November 1852. November 1875 saw heavy rain resulting in serious flooding in Bude, Camelford, Polmorla, Hayle, St Just, Penzance and Truro. Extreme rainfall in October 1880 resulted in serious flooding in both Bodmin and Truro. High tides at the end of September and early October 1882 resulted in flooding in Boscastle, Truro, Wadebridge and Padstow.
