About this property
A Grade II listed, three-storey cottage that's been tastefully refurbished.
Nestled in the heart of the village of Lelant, Porthgwidden Cottage is a delightful Grade II listed, three-storey retreat. Lovingly refurbished to combine timeless character with modern comforts, this enchanting cottage offers a warm and inviting escape. Just a short stroll away lies the breathtaking Porthkidney Beach, a hidden gem with golden sands and serene sand dunes; making this property the perfect destination for all, especially those seeking tranquillity by the sea.
As you step inside, the cottage's warmth and character immediately welcome you. The sitting room is a cosy sanctuary, featuring an inglenook fireplace, a wood-burning stove, and comfortable furnishings that invite you to relax after a day of exploring. Just next door, the charming dining room retains its original shutters, providing a lovely setting for memorable dinners with family and friends. Meals can be lovingly prepared in the well-equipped kitchen, which boasts all the modern amenities you could need, including an oven, hob, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, and fridge/freezer. For convenience, the ground floor also includes a contemporary shower room.
The first floor is home to two inviting bedrooms. The first is a double room, while the second offers twin single beds, making this home ideal for families or groups. On the second floor, you'll find the main bedroom, complete with a plush double bed, offering a serene space to unwind. This floor also features a quiet study area, perfect for catching up on work or enjoying a peaceful moment to yourself.
One of the highlights of Porthgwidden Cottage is its private garden, which is accessed just off the kitchen. A few steps lead up to a delightful patio area, complete with garden furniture and a barbecue. Whether you're enjoying a quiet breakfast in the morning sun or an evening gathering under the stars, this outdoor space is perfect for creating lasting memories with loved ones.
Situated on the scenic road to St Ives as it winds through the charming village of Lelant, Porthgwidden Cottage is perfectly positioned for exploring this beautiful corner of Cornwall. Enjoy breathtaking cliff-top walks, the golden sands of nearby beaches, and the stunning estuary, renowned for its rare and migrating birdlife. With so much natural beauty and charm, this location is ideal for wildlife enthusiasts, beachgoers, and anyone in search of a peaceful getaway.
