The Property

Some houses have just a view. Mara has a village, a valley and the sea.

Set above the lanes of Portloe on the Roseland Peninsula, this four bedroom detached home has been arranged to make the most of its position, with the main living spaces lifted to the first floor where the views open up down the valley and out over Veryan Bay.

The heart of the house is the kitchen and dining room, a genuinely sociable space at over twenty feet by eighteen, fitted with a central island, built-in appliances and room for the whole family around the table. Patio doors lead straight out to a roof terrace, the natural spot for morning coffee or supper outside on a summer evening.

The living room flows on from the kitchen, a bright dual aspect space with a log burning stove for the colder months and an adjoining study that works well for home working. A few steps up, the top level holds two double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and one opening directly onto the sun terrace, served by a luxurious family bathroom with a freestanding bath and walk-in rainfall shower.

The ground floor gives the house real flexibility. A spacious entrance hallway leads to two further double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, plus a separate shower room and a well-equipped utility room. It works equally well for guests, older children, multi-generational living or letting potential.

Outside

The gardens have been landscaped and terraced into distinct areas that follow the valley side: A raised sun terrace positioned for the light and the sea view, a large patio made for entertaining, a lawn framed by mature shrubs and planting, and a charming rockery. A generous driveway provides parking for several vehicles.

Portloe

Portloe needs little introduction. A working fishing village tucked into a steep sided valley on the Roseland; it sits within the Cornwall National Landscape and remains one of the least altered villages on the south coast. John Betjeman called it "one of the least spoiled and most impressive of Cornish fishing villages", and film crews have agreed, with the village appearing in productions including About Time and The Camomile Lawn.

The South West Coast Path runs through the village, with some of Cornwall's finest walking in either direction. The Lugger Hotel, a 17th century inn on the harbour's edge with a two aa Rosette restaurant, sits at the heart of the village, with the Ship Inn up the hill serving locally landed seafood and Roseland produce. Veryan, around a mile and a half away, offers a post office and shop, with the National Trust beach at Carne within easy reach.

The property presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking an income-generating investment i.e B&B/ Holiday rental or a superb family home in equal measure.
