Description

This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial five-bedroom detached home located in the picturesque coastal village of Porthcothan. Nestled on approximately half an acre of land, this residence offers considerable space and privacy, along with significant renovation potential. The main house spans around 2,200 sq ft across two levels, providing well-sized rooms that feature views of both the sea and surrounding countryside from various perspectives. Upon entering, you are greeted by a hallway that leads to a separate kitchen area, a large living and dining room, as well as a sunroom designed to showcase the stunning views over the village towards the ocean. The ground floor further includes a flexible reception room, utility room, bathroom, and ample storage options. The first floor accommodates five double bedrooms, including a master suite with an en-suite bathroom, complemented by a family bathroom. The central landing is bathed in light thanks to elevated windows that frame glimpses of the coastline. Although modernization is required throughout this property, it represents an excellent canvas for creating a personalized living space that suits your needs. The generous grounds can be utilized for various purposes such as extending the existing structure (subject to necessary planning permissions), developing additional dwellings or simply enhancing outdoor spaces like gardens or entertainment areas. Additionally, there is a detached outbuilding measuring approximately 570 sq ft that currently serves as a garage and storage area but has potential for transformation into a studio, home office, gym or guest accommodation (again subject to planning). With two separate entrances available, this layout supports flexible living arrangements. The private driveway provides convenient parking while ensuring privacy. Located just minutes from the beach and positioned in an elevated spot within the village offering expansive views and tranquility; properties like this rarely come available in Porthcothan. Whether you envision this as your ideal family home or as an investment project with multi-use potential, viewing is highly recommended to appreciate everything it has to offer.
