SITUATION Sunny Gables is situated slightly away from the village centre and beach in a delightful individual setting within a few hundred yards' walk of the coast path. Renowned for its copper mining industry and then a popular Victorian seaside resort, Porthtowan stands on the North Cornish coast between St. Ives and St. Agnes. Surrounding the delightful surfing beach is spectacular coastal scenery accessed by the southwest coast path that passes through the cove, boasting a magnificent array of wildlife together with spectacular views and further evidence of the rich and varied architectural heritage. Porthtowan Beach itself is known for its excellent surfing whilst the village has a range of amenities including popular local inns, shop, cafes and other essential facilities.
More extensive amenities can be found in the towns of Camborne and Redruth. Approximately 11 miles distance is the cathedral city of Truro which now forms the commercial heart of the county and provides a fine array of shops. At Truro there is also a main line rail station connecting with London Paddington whilst Newquay Airport offers a number of scheduled flights to domestic and international destinations.
THE PROPERTY This imposing modern detached house built around 2003/2004 is set in a small cul-de-sac serving just three properties and is close to both the beach and coastal footpath. Beautifully presented and updated throughout by the owners, the generous accommodation includes a master bedroom suite with en-suite shower room plus additional walk-in wardrobe. The second bedroom also has an en-suite shower room and the two further double bedrooms are served by the comfortable family bathroom.
The ground floor accommodation includes an impressive entrance hallway with stairs rising to a galleried landing. There is a cloakroom, triple aspect sitting room with contemporary wood burning stove and dining room which opens into an impressive kitchen/breakfast room, recently refitted and with an extensive range of integrated appliances, granite work surfaces and a breakfast bar. There is a well-appointed utility room and convenient door from the hallway to the integral double garage which, subject to the correct planning consents, could be easily converted into more accommodation due to its construction and situation within the house.
OUTSIDE Sunny Gables is approached via a sweeping flint driveway which provides excellent parking and turning space. Closer to the house this transitions to further brick paved parking beside the double garage.
Throughout the attractive and functional garden, you will find mature shrub borders as well as an extensive front lawn with apple trees. The rear garden can be accessed from both sides of the house and enjoys an excellent degree of privacy. There is a large decked sitting area ideal for Alfresco dining whilst the remainder of the garden is laid to lawn with mature flower/shrub borders and vegetable beds to one side. A raised area is currently being used to grow a plethora of vegetables and could continue this way if the next owners were inclined to do so or could easily be turned into another seating area.
