House For Sale £475,000
IN THE CLIENT'S WORDS
"I bought this house because I wanted a genuine energy efficient eco house at a reasonable cost, which it has been and has much lower utility costs than my previous house-less than half of my previous utility bills. I’ve used it as a holiday home and to let friends and family use it to see what an eco-house is like. I've have not rented it out. I visit Cornwall regularly with work, but the house is too large for my own personal use. The house is very conveniently located near Tolcarne and Lusty Glaze beaches and, slightly further away, Porth beach, all of which are quieter more family orientated beaches with calmer sea. there are some nice beach cafes and restaurants to enjoy drinks and meals and sunsets. The house as well as being modern has a small lawn so is low maintenance. There is a local Tesco supermarket very close, and it is convenient to walk into town. Newquay has a train station, so visitors don’t need a car and there is a regular bus service along the coast so useful for coastal walks.
Newquay is undergoing a major regeneration with new buildings replacing old decrepit hotels and B&Bs and more upmarket cafes are replacing some of the old shops and bars and is becoming a more family orientated holiday destination again."
