Portscatho, Cornwall, TR2 5HW

First time on the market in 25 years, this substantial five bedroom house is located within the heart of the village, just set back from the village square.

There are superb sea views from both the house and the garden, the house benefits a very impressive and sizeable plot for the village and boasts a double storey barn on the rear boundary making this property a real one off!

The detached barn has tremendous potential, subject to the necessary consents, to convert into residential ancillary accommodation, if required, with potential to create a detached barn conversion/ annexe or possibly a holiday let/ permanent let property with great income potential.

Directly next to the barn is an unadopted area where the current owner has parked for the last 25 years.

The lovely old double storey barn on the rear boundary comprises: Ground floor workshop with access to the adjoining greenhouse and there are external steps to the first floor double aspect arts studio that has double glazing, power, a great array of lighting and there are inspiring sea views for any artist, looking out to sea, towards the Lugger and over towards Carne beach looking past the lookout station at Pednvadan Point.

The gardens have been well planted giving great seasonal colour but with low maintenance in mind, have various sitting out areas with great privacy and offer fantastic sea views looking towards Gull Rock and Nare Head as well as views looking back along the Lugger.

There are three good sized sheds that are nicely tucked away and disappear beyond the garden planting, with an ideal potting area in front of two of the sheds/ garden stores and there are cold frames.

Outside shower for rinsing off the sand after days coming off the beach or after those muddy day coastal dog walks.

The house has versatile accommodation, that as well as being used as a five bedroom house, could be utilised as a two bedroom house with a potential first floor one bedroom annexe with its own first floor lounge, kitchen/diner and shower room.

Entrance porch, entrance hallway, cloakroom, lounge with minster style fireplace, family room/ potential dining room, study with utility area, kitchen/ breakfast room with rear porch giving access to the rear garden.

The first floor landing gives access to the five bedrooms and two shower rooms that currently comprise: Generous main bedroom with exposed floorboards and built in wardrobes.

Guest double/ twin bedroom with built in wardrobe. Bedroom three that could be a double bedroom that has fantastic sea and coastal views and is currently being used as a first floor sitting room.

Bedroom four is a single bedroom with built in wardrobe and sea glimpses on one side.

The fifth bedroom is currently set up as a utility room/ study again with phenomenal sea and coastal views, that could be used to form annexe accommodation if required or turned back to a fifth bedroom.

There are two shower rooms, one at either end of the landing, with potential if required, to make one of them en-suite to the main bedroom.

The main house has air source central heating combined with solar panels making this an attractively energy efficient home. Double glazing.

There is a fireplace in the lounge and there is a gas coal effect fire in the fireplace of the family room/ dining room. EPC - C . Council Tax - E.
