Characterful terraced cottage on the lane to Porthilly beach.
A traditional stone cottage, this has a great deal of appeal as a cosy hideaway, nicely private and overlooking a pretty garden. Enter the glazed stable door into a quarry tiled kitchen, with a laundry cupboard immediately inside the door and the fitted units and appliances around a corner to the right. A fitted breakfast bar is in front of the east facing window that opens onto the courtyard. There is a modern electric oven, hob and extractor. A little internal window into the living room is left in place from the days before the kitchen extension was added. Also in this part of the cottage is the bathroom with a bath and freestanding shower on a slate tiled floor.
The living room window with a deep sill, looks west and onto the lane. There is an open fireplace in a slate hearth, which, combined with the low beamed ceiling gives a cosiness to the room. There is an alcove with recessed shelves and cupboard doors, as well as two other spacious cupboards.
A door opens to the stairs, naturally lit by a casement window. The slightly larger of the two double bedrooms has a window to the rear garden and a view of the fields beyond. There is a wash basin in a tiled alcove and inbuilt storage. The second bedroom has views to the lane and the garden and has an inbuilt cupboard. the ceiling slopes in both rooms, but there is good head height. There are electric radiators upstairs and down.
A secure door opens to an alley way and a door onto Porthilly Lane, shared with the neighbouring cottage.
2, Porthilly Cottages is very sheltered with mature shrubs screening the perimeter of the garden. The slate paved courtyard is particularly private and perfect for enjoying al fresco lunches. Steps up to the rest of the garden lead to a slate bench beside the rear gate, with a lovely view across Porthilly Farm and along the estuary, with the Iron Bridge, Little Petherick Creek and the Padstow monument on the far side. It's a tranquil and sunny spot.
