Porthcothan, Mawgan Porth welcomes you into a bright, open-plan living space where wide doorways and thoughtful accessible design meet genuine coastal comfort. The well-equipped kitchen, fitted with an electric oven, gas hob and coffee machine, flows effortlessly into a sociable dining area perfect for family breakfasts or evening catch-ups. Beyond, the spacious lounge invites you to sink into plush sofas and settle in front of the Smart TV, with large windows framing glimpses of the surrounding countryside and plenty of natural light pouring through.
Step outside onto the private decked area, where a barbecue and comfortable furniture set the scene for alfresco suppers beneath wide Cornish skies, all overlooking rolling countryside and the property's own fishing lake. Four generous bedrooms offer flexible super-king beds that convert to twins on request; two are on the ground floor, one with a fully accessible en-suite wet room, while two further rooms upstairs share a well-appointed family bathroom. Private parking for two cars makes arrival effortless, even when travelling with bags, bikes or four-legged companions.
Imagine mornings spent watching mist rise off the fishing lake, coffee in hand, before setting out along the pine-scented path to Mawgan Porth's golden sands. Afternoons might bring rock pooling, coastal walks or simply lazing on the decking with the dogs underfoot. As dusk settles, fire up the barbecue, pour a glass of something local, and let the countryside hush wrap around your evening, memories forming with every passing hour.
