4 DESCRIPTION An incredibly versatile and adaptable frontline coastal residence, commanding fantastic views out across Portreath Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. Perched on the inner harbour wall, the property enjoys views straight down into the harbour with all the fishing boat activity immediately beneath you. The highly adaptable accommodation has been refitted to a high standard and reconfigured. It can either be a large six bedroom family residence with amazing open-plan reception areas enjoying stunning beach, sea and coastal views or, with the installation of one wall or two sets of doors, the accommodation can be completely split into two separate properties comprising a large four bedroom family home over three storeys and a second adjacent attached two bedroom holiday/letting/annexe with its own separate access and equally good views. The services to both residences are already split, each have independent oil fired boilers and separate kitchens and bathrooms. An ideal opportunity for those wishing to retire to the county to a frontline residence with the ability to either house two sections of one family or to live in one of the residences and gain a useful letting income from the other. There is underfloor heating throughout, fired by two oil fired boilers. The reception areas feature light wood flooring and double doors in both, open onto balconies or terraces enjoying the fantastic beach, sea and coastal views. The kitchens are well fitted with ivory/cream units with integrated appliances and cream stone worktop surfaces. From each reception room there are bespoke turning oak staircases with glass panels, framed by oak handrails and newel posts. One staircase accesses two bedrooms and a bathroom, the other accesses two bedrooms (one en-suite) and a bathroom. LOCATION Portreath village, on Cornwall s north Atlantic coastline, has long been a holiday retreat, and over recent years has increased considerably in popularity. The village is very evidently a place where a lot of money is being spent on the housing stock, especially those surrounding the beautiful sandy beach. The profile of the area has risen considerably, and the beach provides a playground to holidaymakers and locals alike providing excellent bathing and surfing. There are lovely walks along the surrounding coastline via the South West Coastal Footpath, much of which us under stewardship of the National Trust. Portreath has recently become a World Heritage site and is situated on Cornwall s north Atlantic coastline, to the west of Truro with a pier and harbour providing shelter for an active fishing fleet. Portreath is at the end of the Bissoe valley cycle trail which stretches from the north coast to the south coast at Devoran, providing traffic free cycling and walking through Cornwall s mining heritage landscape with many further trails branching off it. The village provides a bakery, general store, post office, surf shops, inns, cafés, restaurant and a primary school. Secondary schooling is available at Redruth and Truro, the latter also having three private schools. Redruth is the nearest large town offering a cinema, numerous shops, restaurants and a main line railway station which has a direct link to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4½ hours. The county capital of Truro is some fifteen minutes drive away offering extensive leisure, commercial and retail amenities commensurate with Cornwall s capital including the county s major hospital and the Hall for Cornwall which hosts a variety theatrical and entertainment events throughout the year.
