Planning in Principle – Additional Two-Bedroom Townhouse One of the property’s most exciting features is the additional development opportunity.

The current owner has obtained planning in principle for a separate two-bedroom townhouse on land to the rear of the bungalow, where a second garage is currently situated.

The proposed property would benefit from the same desirable coastal setting, with the potential to enjoy fabulous sea views across Portreath.

This provides a rare opportunity for a purchaser to acquire a substantial coastal bungalow with the added attraction of a potential additional dwelling, subject to the relevant planning requirements and any necessary further consents.

Prospective purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries with Cornwall Council regarding the planning status, conditions and requirements for any future development.

Location Lighthouse Hill is a highly desirable position within Portreath, renowned for its beautiful coastal scenery and elevated views across the beach and harbour.

Portreath itself offers a charming coastal village atmosphere, with a sandy beach, harbour, local amenities and access to some of Cornwall’s finest coastal walks.

Whether you are looking for a permanent residence, a coastal retreat or a property with additional development potential, this location offers an exceptional combination of lifestyle and opportunity.

A Rare Coastal Opportunity Although the bungalow would benefit from some further updating and a little tlc in places, it offers generous accommodation, attractive existing features, superb outdoor entertaining areas and, above all, a spectacular coastal position.

The combination of a detached bungalow, extensive parking, garage, panoramic sea views and planning in principle for a two-bedroom townhouse makes this a particularly exciting opportunity.

Properties in such a sought-after location, with views of this quality and the added benefit of development potential, rarely become available. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
