Enjoying simply fantastic sea, harbour and village views, this former coastguard cottage is situated in an elevated position above the Cornish fishing port of Porthleven. Said to have been built in the 1860s, the terrace of cottages is steeped in history and was once home to Henry Trengrouse's famous lifesaving apparatus.
This end of terrace property, which is in need of renovation and modernisation to realise its full potential, is well proportioned and benefits from double glazing.
In brief, the accommodation comprises an entrance porch, hall, lounge, sitting room, kitchen and, completing the ground floor, a pantry. On the first floor is a shower room and three bedrooms. To the outside of the residence the property has a large rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn and has a useful outbuilding.
Porthleven is a thriving seaside Cornish fishing village with its harbour providing a focal point. Around this cluster many pubs, restaurants and shops. The village provides amenities 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 freshwater lake.
