In a superb harbourside setting and just 150 metres from the town's central amenities, this two-story cottage is an excellent choice for families seeking a seaside escape, friends eager to explore coastal walks and indulge in pub lunches, or couples desiring a year-round retreat. Porthleven's vibrant harbour is surrounded by a variety of independent eateries and galleries for leisurely exploration. The main sandy beach invites swimming, rock-pooling and family fun. This coastline reveals a variety of captivating beaches, such as Praa Sands (5 miles), Gunwalloe (7.5 miles), and Perranuthoe (7.5 miles). Just 2 miles away, the charming market town of Helston boasts a picturesque boating lake and a delightful café, and annually hosts the ancient May festival, Flora Day. A short drive of 7.5 miles leads to the enchanting St Michael’s Mount, a magical island featuring stunning gardens arranged across sloping terraces, showcasing an array of exotic planting.
Set on a terrace right alongside the harbour, this is the perfect location for people-watching and relaxing whilst listening to the sound of the water lapping against the sea wall. Entering the stylish living room with its corner sofa and cosy wood burner, you can step up to the window and admire the views. An archway leads through into the modern, sleek kitchen providing you with all you need to enjoy tasty home-cooked meals gathered around the dining table together. There’s a convenient cloakroom on the ground floor with space for coats and shoes and a sliding door from the kitchen leads to the rear yard. The first floor is home to three bedrooms and a bathroom with the main bedroom at the front with its king-size bed providing open views across the harbour and out to sea. The single room to the front also has lovely water views and the double bedroom tucked away to the rear, whilst compact, provides a peaceful setting.
Outside, there is an enclosed paved terrace to the front with seating – perfect for a morning breakfast or evening drinks listening to the harbour sounds or watching the sunset on the horizon. To the rear is a small yard – the neighbouring cottages have access – it’s a useful space for storing your beach gear.
