Ref: LCAA6626 3

constructed using quality materials to provide six en-suite letting bedrooms five with stunning sea views, together with a luxurious self-contained two bedroom annexe/duplex apartment (current used as owner’s accommodation). There are communal areas currently used for the B&B and the private use area include a huge kitchen/breakfast room and separate first floor sitting room. The property is currently operated as a very lucrative licenced B&B establishment but would equally make a fantastic large family home with self-contained annexe. The property is situated in An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and benefits from LPG gas central heating with triple glazed windows facing the sea and double glazed windows to the rear. There are modern fire and electrical systems throughout including, we understand CAT 5 and telephone points to all bedrooms and reception rooms. The accommodation in all, extends to some nearly 4,300sq.ft. with all main rooms either enjoying full or Juliet balconies and large triple glazed windows facing the sea. In front of the property are slate chipped and decked sun terraces overlooking the sea. The tasteful décor throughout is exemplary and further enhances the sumptuous feel of the accommodation, the drama provided by the triple glazed windows with the sea and coastline views from virtually every room. The accommodation is currently arranged as six guest bedroom suites, accessed from a central hallway, all situated over the three floors to the right of the property. On the opposite side of the hall on the ground floor is a lounge (currently used as a guests breakfast/dining room) and beyond that is a large kitchen/breakfast room currently kept for the sole use of the owners. The two bedroom duplex apartment is accessed from the rear of the kitchen breakfast room and certainly will provide very comfortable owner’s accommodation and enjoys the stunning views from both the master bedroom suite and sitting room. Adjacent to the road is an asphalted parking area for up to six vehicles and a garage with stone paved steps ascending centrally through the front terraces to the house above. The rear garden is mainly lawn with a garden implement store and a utility room together with an externally accessed plant room and gardener’s wc.

LOCATION A stunning 8 bedroomed detached coastal residence enjoying an elevated position to the south of the picturesque fishing village of Mevagissey in a cliff top position affording spectacular and panoramic sea and coastal views. The property lies between the small cove at Portmellon with its public slipway, beach and inn, and the fishing village of

Ref: LCAA6626 4

Mevagissey with its cluster of stone properties around the much photographed inner and outer harbours which are home to an active fishing fleet whilst the village caters adequately for day to day needs. Within Mevagissey are numerous cafes, local inns, a grocery store, arts and craft shops and a local primary school. To the north lies the large golden sandy beach at Pentewan with its active sailing club and to the south much of the coastline is under the stewardship of the National Trust with beautiful cliff top walks to further beaches including Great Perhaver and Vault. This particular location is highly prized due to the stunning views which stretch right up the coast to Rame Head near Plymouth. The soft climate of the south coast encourages the growth of many sub tropical species giving the area an almost Mediterranean feel for some of the year. The nearest town is St Austell providing a wide array of leisure commercial and retail facilities including a redeveloped town centre offering an increased retail base whilst there are also out of town supermarkets, trading estates, sports clubs and town centre facilities such as library, large sports centre and a mainline station providing a direct link to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4½ hours. A short drive to the south west lies the county capital of Truro providing an even wider array of facilities including an impressive cathedral, the Hall for Cornwall which provides a wide variety of musical and theatrical events throughout the year and an interesting mix of local and national shops. Other local attractions include the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Eden Project and excellent golf courses at Carlyon Bay, Polgooth and Porthpean. This area also enjoys good road links to both the A390/A38 and the A30, both of which remain largely dual carriageway to Plymouth, Exeter and onward to London via the A303 and Bristol via the M5.
