The guest house has been enjoyed by many visitors over the years and is a substantial family home with income potential and very adaptable accommodation including a self-contained annexe, currently used for holiday letting but would equally suit extended family, friends or other guests who visit to experience the truly outstanding views.

Wild Air Guest House

The property is one of the last remaining original houses on this prestigious road and on arrival you will immediately notice the beautiful 1930’s architecture. Its high ceilings make it light, spacious and airy. Retaining many original features, it has stripped pine doors and staircase, plus double glazing and oil fired central heating throughout. There is off road parking for three vehicles and a large single garage with water and power connected, for further parking or potential boat store for sailing or other activities.

Steps lead up to a large terrace where many you can enjoy those breathtaking views. To one side is an area laid to lawn with mature shrubs and access to the annexe. There are access paths to each side of the property and to the front, the main entrance leads into the entrance vestibule.

The entrance vestibule leads into a hallway with stairs rising to the first floor. There are doors into the sitting room which has a large bay window with stunning views of Mevagissey and St Austell Bay, Gribben Head and beyond, with an open working fireplace and man original features, and also into the good size dining room with a large under stairs cupboard and views to the rear garden. An open way follows into the kitchen and breakfast room where the current owners spend much of their time.

Annexe

The spacious self-contained annexe is a huge benefit to Wild Air. It is immaculately presented with an open plan kitchen living dining area downstairs and a good size double bedroom with en suite shower room upstairs. This annexe has stunning coastal views, similar to the main house. At present the current owners holiday let the annexe but it could, of course, be utilised for various other uses such as housing an elderly relative or independent teenager. Alternatively, it could be incorporated back into the main house providing extra family accommodation.

Gardens Etc

The rear gardens have several different areas allowing for ease of maintenance. The lower level is a suntrap courtyard garden used by the owners due to its privacy with mature shrubs and flowers. The main garden is accessed from the side of the house or from the utility room by a path up to a mainly lawned garden with trees, shrubs and flowers, and a wildlife pond in the centre.

The front garden is of good size and offers a large sun terrace above the garage with a breathtaking vista. As mentioned previously, there is parking for 3 vehicles as well as the garage, a definite rarity in this village.

In summary, this is an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a prime coastal seaside property with outstanding views, difficult to surpass anywhere. Wild Air will suit those looking to make a lifestyle change running a seaside business in this thriving village. Equally it would suit a buyer looking for an investment and holiday property or for the expanding family with possibly a dependant relative.
