SITUATION Trevena occupies an exceptional elevated position with far-reaching sea views across the south coast. Set within a large plot the property offers a rare sense of peace and seclusion while remaining conveniently close to one of Cornwall's most beautiful coastal locations.
Porthcurno Beach lies approximately three miles south-east of Land's End (as the crow flies), nestled in the western corner of Porthcurno Bay. The bay is framed by two renowned landmarks: the world-famous Minack Theatre to the west and Logan Rock to the east. Dramatically carved into the cliffside by Rowena Cade in the 1930's, the Minack Theatre is an extraordinary open-air venue that hosts daily performances throughout the summer months and attracts visitors from across the globe.
The South West Coast Path passes directly through Porthcurno Cove, providing easy access to breathtaking coastal walks along this dramatic stretch of shoreline. The village is also home to the Museum of Submarine Telegraphy, which tells the remarkable story of Porthcurno's role in global communications and includes historic underground wartime tunnels once used as a secret communications centre.
Ideally situated for exploring West Cornwall, Trevena is within easy reach of numerous beautiful beaches and picturesque fishing villages, including the ever-popular Mousehole. A wide selection of acclaimed restaurants, galleries, and cultural attractions can be found in nearby Penzance, St Ives, Mousehole, and Sennen. Mounts Bay, just beyond, offers excellent opportunities for water sports such as sailing and kayaking.
THE PROPERTY This well-proportioned four-bedroom bungalow is offered to the market for the very first time, having been owned by the same family for over 45 years. Trevena presents a unique opportunity to acquire a much-loved home in an established and sought-after setting.
The accommodation is arranged on a single level and is accessed via a spacious entrance hallway, creating an immediate sense of light and space. The principal sitting room is a standout feature, boasting a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and enjoying stunning, far-reaching views across the south coast, making it an ideal space for both relaxation and entertaining.
Further accommodation includes four generously sized bedrooms, a well-appointed kitchen with adjoining dining area, and a separate WC. A shower room completes the internal layout, providing practical and flexible living for families or those seeking single-storey accommodation.
Having been carefully maintained over the years, the property now offers excellent potential for modernisation and personalisation, subject to the necessary consents, allowing a new owner to create a bespoke home in a truly special location.
OUTSIDE The property is approached via a generous driveway, offering ample parking for multiple vehicles and easy access to the front of the home. Set back from The Valley Road, it enjoys a sense of privacy and seclusion, creating a peaceful entrance that feels detached from the main thoroughfare. The front of the bungalow is complemented by a garage, providing convenient storage and secure parking.
The rear of the bungalow benefits from a highly desirable south-facing aspect, allowing the garden to be bathed in sunlight for much of the day. The outdoor space is predominantly laid to lawn, offering a versatile and low-maintenance area ideal for family activities, gardening, or simply relaxing while enjoying the private setting. Mature hedging and natural boundaries enhance the sense of seclusion, creating a tranquil retreat with the potential to further personalise or landscape to suit individual tastes.
