Only a minute away from the sea, this Victorian semi-detached beach house faces south east across the ocean in the small bay of Portmellon. St Porth is a tall, elegant house with many original period features, contemporary upgrades, spacious rooms and floor to ceiling windows letting in plenty of light. Its captivating ever-changing sea views from most of the rooms make it a wonderful base to mull the turning tides and enjoy typical Cornish village life whether you are travelling as a family or with friends.

The house has a large sunny front garden with a lawned area and wooden deck with garden furniture and a Mediterranean-style gravel garden containing various palms and exotic plants which frame the view of the sea. You can see the beach from the garden and there is plenty of space to relax and enjoy the views. The garden gets the sun from early morning to late afternoon and you will no doubt spend a large part of your holiday here watching the boats come and go and families and locals enjoying the beach as you follow the evening sun down the garden towards the sea.

There are three bedrooms on the first floor: the main bedroom with super-king sized bed and wash-basin, a double bedroom with king-sized bed and a small single room. The two front bedrooms have large floor to ceiling sash windows letting in the light with amazing ocean views where you can watch the sun come up over the sea. The rear double bedroom looks over the patio and hills behind the house. Another stairway takes you up to the light drenched loft room which has a small double bed and a sea view through the cathedral-style window.

There is convenient parking at the bottom of the garden for one car and you can drive right up to the front door to unload, a rare luxury in Cornwall. There is extra parking available in the public car park nearby. The driveway to the property is shared with the neighbouring property but you can still drive up to the front door to unload.
