Description

Available for the first time on the market in 21 years, this superbly presented and attractive character residence, with relatively private surrounding gardens, is located in a quiet hamlet in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  The property is situated near a bus stop and within three quarters of a mile of the untouched fishing village of Portloe, the South West Coastal Path and around 3 miles to the mile-long sandy beaches of Carne and Pendower. Equally, this comfortable ready to move into home is conveniently located for daily amenities and excellent secondary and primary schools. Initial outside impressions do not depict the wealth of light and airy and spacious family sized accommodation found within. Our clients, over the years, have invested a great deal of time and money sympathetically extending the cottage with a focus of still retaining a wealth of its original character yet maximising the beautiful and panoramic coastal and country views.  The colourful and beautifully landscaped mature gardens and canopied terraces allow the ‘outside within’ as well as capture the morning and all-day sunshine to enjoying glorious sunsets to the west.

The Pigsty

Our clients currently earn an income by holiday letting the property via ‘airbnb’, but this single storey detached character dwelling can be long term let or simply used for hobbies. It could be utilised as a work from home office, for overflow accommodation for visiting family or friends, or as a home for dependent relatives.  The property can even be sold off separately too.  

Summary

This unique, beautifully presented and adaptable character property is the perfect holiday retreat. Equally, Field Cottage ideally suits the retiring, family or multi-generational lifestyle change buyer looking for a permanent coastal home where daily amenities, beautiful coastal walks and beaches as well as excellent private or public schools are nearby. An internal inspection of this rare opportunity is strongly advised.
