The majority of the gardens lie to the rear where there are three decked and stone paved terraces enjoying the daily sun and providing lovely views out over the sea and along the coastline. Following a path from the rear garden there is access to a single detached garage and a parking space in front of it which, we understand, the owners of Rose Cottage have rented for the last 30 years.

Rose Cottage enjoys a delightful position within the village, high enough to enjoy some lovely views out over the sea and surrounding coastline from the top floor where all the living accommodation is and from the decked and stone paved terraces in the back garden. There is a vehicular access to the rear of the property which leads to a detached single garage and parking space which, we understand the owners of the property have rented for the last 30 years and it is anticipated that this arrangement could be continued if required.

An air source heat pump has been fitted to supply heating and hot water. We understand is not yet registered with the Environment Agency and may be able to provide an income once registered.

4 4 LOCATION Portloe is one of the south coasts most popular cove villages, situated on the Roseland Peninsula. The village nestles at a point where two valleys reach the sea, forming a natural harbour that has been a haven for fisherman for centuries. Surrounding the harbour are historic cottages and more grand houses, along with the Ship Inn pub and the Lugger Hotel, which is open to non-residence. The South West Coastal Footpath leads away from Portloe in both directions along the rugged coastline to the Nare Head in the south and Portholland, Caerhays and Dobman Head to the east. The footpath provides access to little known beaches with much of the coastline in this area being under the stewardship of the National Trust. A few miles to the west is the long sandy beach at Carne overlooking Gerrans Bay. A few miles to the west, the Roseland Peninsula completely changes character from rugged cliffs to soft rolling countryside and creeks where the inns at Ruanlanihorne, Phileigh and the Smugglers Inn by the waters end, offer great food. A little over a mile away is the larger village of Veryan where there is a primary school, sports centre, inn and general stores/post office. A larger range of services can be found between the nearby villages of Tregony, Portscatho and St Mawes. St Mawes has a range of facilities available to the sailing and pleasure craft community sitting at the end of the Roseland Peninsula beside the Percuil River where there are deep water moorings for yachts and a very active sailing club offering training for juniors. Budding windsurfers can join the T15 club at Percuil. There are further deep water moorings at St Just in Roseland and the Carrick Roads (Fal Estuary) which is regarded as one of the finest areas for sailing in the United Kingdom. Secondary schooling is available at Tregony, while there are three private schools in Truro. Truro, around 15 minutes drive from Portloe, is Cornwall s capital city and has the largest range of commercial, professional, shopping and entertainment facilities in the county along with supermarkets and trading estates on its outskirts. In the centre there is a flagship Marks & Spencer store, a multi screen cinema and the Hall for Cornwall theatre. Truro s cobbled Georgian and Victorian streets are also home to many cafés and an ever expanding range of excellent restaurants.
