About this property

Nestled within easy walking distance of the picturesque harbour village and beach at Pentewan, this characterful three-bedroom cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home brimming with original features, together with a detached self-contained annexe, generous gardens, garage facilities and approximately one acre of riverside land.

The main residence seamlessly blends period charm with practical family living. The ground floor centres around a spacious open-plan living/dining room, featuring original timber flooring, a cosy log-burning stove and an additional open-hearth fireplace, creating a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. A separate study provides the ideal space for home working, while the kitchen/breakfast room showcases original stone flooring and a traditional log-burning stove. Completing the ground floor is a bright conservatory overlooking the rear garden and an external WC.

To the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, one benefiting from a feature open fireplace, alongside two shower rooms. A large loft space with roof window offers useful additional storage, whilst a storeroom currently accessed externally presents potential for conversion into a fourth bedroom, subject to any necessary consents.

The detached self-contained annexe offers exciting potential for guest accommodation, multigenerational living or supplementary income, although some upgrading is required. The accommodation comprises a living room, kitchen and shower room on the ground floor, with a double bedroom on the first floor.

Externally, the property enjoys beautifully stocked multi-level gardens, providing a wonderful backdrop for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. A detached double garage and driveway parking for two to three vehicles further enhance the practicality of the home.

A particular feature of the property is the approximately one acre of riverside land situated opposite, incorporating areas of woodland and offering significant potential as an extensive garden project, recreational space or amenity land.

The location is equally appealing, with a NISA convenience store nearby, the charming harbour village of Pentewan and its long sandy beach just a short five-minute walk away. Numerous countryside, riverside and cliff-top walks can be enjoyed directly from the doorstep, including the scenic trail along the White River Valley towards St Austell and routes leading to the renowned Lost Gardens of Heligan. Both Mevagissey and St Austell are approximately a 15-minute drive away.
