To the rear the property has a large area of decking with windshields on both sides providing the entire top floor with scintillating sea and cliff top views and facing south the decking enjoys the sun virtually throughout the day.

This is an extremely spacious three bedroomed semi-detached villa with reverse level accommodation comprising two double bedrooms and a single bedroom on the ground 3 Ref: LCAA5998 floor together with a well appointed family bathroom and an en-suite shower room divided from the main bedroom by frosted glazed screens. On the first floor is a vast 30’ x 20’ open-plan sitting room/dining room/kitchen with a 11’3” high apex vaulted ceiling with exposed Glulam beams. This room is triple aspect with large double glazed windows flooding the whole room with light and double glazed doors at one end open onto a south facing large decked terrace providing lovely sea and cliff top views with immediate access to the communal gardens. The property enjoys engineered oak flooring with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and radiators on the first floor. All sanitaryware is of good quality white suites with complementary dark tiling to floor and walls. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of white gloss units with composite worktop surfaces and an excellent range of integrated appliances.

The property is held with the residue of a 999 year lease that commenced in 2009 although it should be noted that it may well be possible to purchase the freehold title as well, if required. To our understanding there are no occupancy restrictions other than it must not be your main place of residence (i.e. you are not registered for Council Tax at this address) but the property can be resided in for 365 days a year. There is a resident manager on site to supervise the maintenance, holiday changeover cleans, laundry and general maintenance. An annual service charge provides for the provision of internet, water, sewage charges, telephone calls and maintenance of all communal areas, gardens, swimming pool, gymnasium and sauna. There is an on-site letting facility that owners are welcome to take advantage of should they wish to do so for a cost of 26% of the lettings income plus VAT. A full holiday service will rent your property out for you and this covers all advertising costs, cleaning, laundry and changeovers with changeover days being staggered on site with 50% of the properties having a changeover day of Friday and the other 50% of Saturday. This alternates each year to give each property an equal opportunity of holiday rental income.

4 Ref: LCAA5998 LOCATION

The Bay at Talland is a private and select security gated enclave of villas purpose built with holidays in mind, finished to a high standard on a well kept site that occupies a charming cliff top position with some lovely walks along the top of the site with stunning sea views. Just a short walk from the property lies the south west Cornish coast with fantastic walks towards Looe and and within easy reach, below the property lies Talland Bay beach.

Situated virtually equidistantly between the charming fishing village of Polperro and the bustling harbour town of Looe, both of which have their origins within Cornwall’s fishing history. The fishing port of Looe is situated astride the East Looe River and still has an active fishing fleet together with an excellent high street of assorted shops, restaurants, cafés and local inns and is a picturesque and popular holiday resort destination with a lovely town beach on one side of the river estuary. Fishing trips can still be booked from the harbour and there are some lovely drives/walks to be enjoyed along the East Looe River valley. The charming fishing village of Polperro also still has a small fishing fleet and fish market with its quaint, largely pedestrianised streets and footpaths accessing a huddle of fisherman’s cottages and houses situated on terraces around the picturesque harbour. The village has further inns, restaurants and shops and both of these can be accessed via the South West Coastal Footpath nearby.

The nearest major town is to the north which provides a wide array of leisure, commercial and retail facilities together with a mainline station with a direct link to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4½ hours and the A38 dual carriageway through Liskeard proceeds northwards into Devon accessing the cities of Plymouth and Exeter, then joining the national motorway network.

5 Ref: LCAA5998 Sailing facilities are available in Looe with moorings on the East Looe River catering for a variety of pleasure craft whilst to the east, the Tamar River which divides Devon and Cornwall provides a large body of estuary water providing excellent day sailing with a variety of sailing clubs and facilities on both sides of the estuary and on the Tamar’s various tributaries.
