Description

This substantial five-bedroom detached home presents a valuable renovation and investment opportunity in the desirable coastal village of Porthcothan. Set on an expansive 0.55-acre plot, the property is divided into two distinct parcels, offering possibilities for reconfiguration or future development subject to planning permission. The main house spans approximately 2,200 sq ft across two levels, featuring generous living spaces complemented by sea views from various angles. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a central hallway that connects to a separate kitchen, a spacious living and dining area, and a sun room extension that enhances the connection to the outdoors with its views of the village and ocean. The ground floor also includes a versatile reception room, utility space, a bathroom, and ample storage options, providing a practical layout suitable for family living or entertaining guests. On the upper level, you will discover five well-sized double bedrooms along with a family bathroom and an en-suite master bedroom. The thoughtful design allows natural light to flow through the central landing while highlighting views of the coastline. While the interiors would benefit from modernisation, this presents an excellent chance for new owners to personalize and upgrade the space according to their preferences. The external grounds enhance this potential further; not only do they provide impressive privacy but they also offer flat terrain ideal for landscaping or outdoor amenities. The elevation of this property maximizes its scenic views across the landscape towards the coast. The land's division into two parcels creates unique opportunities for expansion—be it adding another dwelling (subject to planning), extending the existing structure, or enhancing outdoor living areas. A notable feature is the detached outbuilding measuring approximately 570 sq ft. Currently utilized as a garage and storage area, it holds significant potential for conversion into functional spaces such as a studio, home office, guest accommodation, or fitness area (pending necessary permissions). With dual access points into the plot and considerable off-road parking available via a private driveway, this property promises both privacy and flexibility in use. The flat nature of the grounds allows for easy development of landscaped gardens or even recreational facilities such as a pool. Located just minutes from beautiful beaches and surrounded by tranquil landscapes, this property stands out for its rare combination of size, location benefits, and investment potential within Porthcothan. Viewing is highly encouraged to fully grasp both its current offerings and future possibilities in this sought-after coastal enclave.
