SITUATION The rural hamlet of Tregowris is less than 2 miles from the pebbly beach at Porthallow. The property is situated in a secluded rural position enjoying far reaching countryside views in the heart of the Lizard Penisula.
The Lizard Peninsula remains one of the most unspoilt areas in Cornwall renowned for its picturesque coastal scenery and untouched rural hinterland. The peninsula is the most southerly point of England with wide expanses designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and owned by private estates or The National Trust.
Porthallow itself is a traditional Cornish fishing village with an attractive beach and the highly regarded Five Pilchards Inn. Once a busy cove engaged in the pilchard industry, there are still a small number of local fishermen who use the cove and the beach which has become popular for its superb views across the mouth of the Helford River. The village of St Keverne is about a mile away and offers everyday facilities including butchers, newsagents, village stores/post office, public houses, church and Doctors surgery. A regular bus service leads to the nearby market town of Helston, approximately twelve miles distant, with a full range of shopping and commercial facilities.
THE PROPERTY The Old Farmhouse enjoys generous room sizes and retains a wealth of charm with many traditional features including large Inglenook fireplaces, exposed wooden beams and sash windows. The property offers the highly desired blend of the traditional charm of a period farmhouse that has been extended over the years and as such presents as a spacious, light modern family home.
On a day-to-day basis the property is entered through the rear door into the light, triple aspect kitchen dining room with a comprehensive range of base and eye level units. There is access to the sunroom enjoying fabulous views over the garden and to the countryside beyond. Off the kitchen are two useful utility rooms, a further porch leading to the side entrance accessed directly from the side parking area.
A large characterful sitting room with two impressive Inglenooks and exposed beams with steps rising to the rear seating area and front door are at the heart of the traditional farmhouse. A study or additional bedroom and family bathroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
