Description

This three-bedroom property presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment in a highly desirable coastal location. Treglissen is situated directly facing Porthcothan Bay, which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). This status not only guarantees the preservation of the surrounding headland and landscape but also enhances the long-term value of any investments made here. Constructed under an original Delabole slate roof, the house is set on an expansive, level plot of approximately 0.2 acres. Although it is currently habitable and offers basic functionality, Treglissen would greatly benefit from modernisation and improvements. The additional attic room provides extra potential for expanding living space or transforming it into a unique feature, subject to the necessary planning approvals. Internally, Treglissen consists of a comfortable layout with dual-aspect windows in the sitting room, allowing for plenty of natural light. The open-plan kitchen and dining area create a welcoming environment for family gatherings. There are three bedrooms, including two doubles with fireplaces that add character to the home, as well as a family bathroom and utility spaces. The rear porch lends itself well to practical use, whether as a boot room after beach outings or as an additional storage area. Externally, the property features front and rear gardens with lawned areas and patio terraces at both the front and side—ideal spaces for enjoying outdoor leisure activities or entertaining guests. Access is provided by a sloping driveway that accommodates ample parking alongside a single garage. Porthcothan Bay itself is cherished for its tranquil environment and family-friendly amenities. Notably renowned for swimming, sunbathing, and surfing during mid-low tide, this section of coastline offers stunning views along the Southwest Coast Path. The local area boasts several attractions including sandy beaches that connect to hidden coves favored by those who appreciate nature's beauty. Proximity to Newquay and Padstow further enhances its appeal for visitors year-round. With many neighboring properties already undergoing significant transformations, Treglissen stands out as an investment opportunity ready for reimagining into a modern coastal retreat or vacation rental. Given its strategic location and existing features, this property holds promising potential for those looking to capitalize on Cornwall's thriving real estate market while enjoying all that coastal living has to offer.
