We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Situated in a prime harbourside location with a fabulous outlook across to Porthleven inner harbour and beyond, this apartment is very nicely presented and appointed throughout.
Located in the heart of this ever popular Cornish fishing village, the apartment would seem the ideal place in which to relax and observe the ‘comings and goings’ of this bustling port.
Currently operating as a successful holiday let the apartment could equally suit those seeking a ‘lock up and go’ coastal bolthole or professionals seeking contemporary apartment living.
With parking sometimes being at a premium in the village, the apartment has the invaluable bonus of an allocated space within a private parking area adjacent to Mackerel Buildings.
A real feature of the residence is the well proportioned open plan living space, encompassing a lounge with lovely harbour views, a dining area and well appointed fitted kitchen.
This is complemented by a modern family bathroom and two bedrooms, the master of which has an en suite shower room.
Outside to the front there is an allocated parking space whilst to the rear is a small courtyard area. The apartment benefits from underfloor heating and double glazing.
Porthleven is a thriving seaside Cornish fishing village with its large harbour providing a focal point. Around this cluster many pubs, restaurants and businesses.
The village provides facilities to cater for everyday needs as well as a primary school, whilst the more comprehensive amenities of Helston are a few miles distant and these include national stores, cinema and sports centre with indoor swimming pool.
Situated between Helston and Porthleven is the beautiful Penrose Estate which is managed by The National Trust and where one may delight in the many walks and trails through the Cornish countryside around Loe Pool which is Cornwall's largest natural fresh water lake.
Porthleven has a prize winning brass band which, on many a summer’s Sunday evening, can be heard echoing around the village, creating atmosphere and ambience for both residents and visitors.
