5 bedroom detached house for sale

Characterful dormer bungalow with fabulous harbour and coastal views over Port Isaac.

Description

Bay View is a pretty, double bay fronted dormer bungalow from the 1930s which has been extended and modernised to suit the requirements of holiday letting.

A decoratively glazed door enters the hall, on either side of which is a double bedroom, both with large bay windows overlooking the front garden.

Along the hall a third double bedroom with generous bay window looks out beyond the harbour and has glimpses of the coast stretching as far as Tintagel.

Opposite is the family bathroom. The hall opens out to the extended living space across the whole rear façade, a great space for a large group to enjoy. The kitchen has fitted units and appliances with a recessed range for heating. Steps down to the dining area where there is room for a table to accommodate 10 and to the large sitting area with its stunning view across Port Isaac to Roscarrock Hill, open fields and down to the sea. Patio doors open onto the deck which runs the width of the house, maximising the potential to enjoy day long sunshine and beautiful sunsets.

Turning stairs lead to the two bedrooms in the dormer roof. Overlooking the front is a twin room, with the longer view of the upper village and the coast and to the rear is another twin room, with a lofty view out to sea. They share a bathroom. Sloping ceilings lend a cosiness to the rooms upstairs.
Overall, the interior is light, bright and airy and an open, practical space for guests to enjoy.

A paved drive leads to a garage. Well maintained gardens to front and back, simply laid to lawn with a high hedge and fence, give space and privacy. The rear garden is a sun trap with the added interest of overlooking the old village, the harbour and the ocean. The decked balcony is ideal for entertaining. Beneath it is a basement store.

Location

There is always a buzz of activity in Port Isaac. This pretty, coastal port is spectacularly sited on the rugged stretch of North Cornwall coastline.

Port Isaac was a busy fishing port and from the Middle Ages to the mid-19th century it was an active harbour, shipping cargoes of stone, coal, timber and pottery. Fishing and fish-processing were also very important and today there are still fishermen working from the harbour.

The village is now internationally renowned for its association with the television series 'Doc Martin'. Most of the old part of the village consists of picturesque 18th and 19th century cottages, many of which have been officially listed due to their architectural and historic importance and are located within narrow alleys and streets that wind down the steep hillside toward the harbour.

The village also hosts Restaurant Nathan Outlaw which was voted the best restaurant in Britain in August 2017 by the Good Food Guide and holds two Michelin stars.

Square Footage: 1,790 sq ft
