Originally a fisherman’s net loft, this one-bedroom property in Porthleven, Cornwall, has been lovingly converted into a gem of a home. Perched on a cliff and overlooking the sea, this is the ideal place for a romantic getaway or beach holiday. Porthleven is a charming fishing village and boasts a pretty harbour dotted with seafood restaurants, market stalls, and cafes. And with Porthleven Beach less than 200 yards from the property, you can’t get closer to the sea than this. The beach is popular with experienced surfers while walkers can enjoy the 3-mile trail from Porthleven to Loe Bar.
Compact and comfortable, the rooms are light, airy, and adorned with elegant furnishings. The bedroom is located on the ground floor and features a double bed, cool terracotta flooring, and a huge glass door that drenches the room in uplifting light. In the morning, push open the door, and enjoy the sound of the waves lapping against the shore. From the bedroom, a staircase leads to the first floor where the living area is located. The lounge is neat and comfortable with a seating area, TV, and more glorious sea views while the kitchen is stocked with all the utensils you need to prepare yourself a meal. There’s also an effortlessly neat bathroom on this floor.
Although compact in size, this home has plenty of character and is blessed with stunning outdoor space. Start the day with a coffee on the decked terrace while watching the sun rise over the sea or simply sit and enjoy feeling the sea breeze on your face. There’s also a shady summerhouse where you can take it easy during the day before heading back to the terrace for some al fresco dining at night.
