2 bed cottage for sale

Thomas Street, Porthleven, Helston TR13

Situated in the characterful terraces of Thomas Street in the beautiful Cornish fishing village of Porthleven is this two bedroom, terraced cottage with immense charm and character. In need of updating and modernisation to realise its full potential, the cottage boasts many charming features from a local stone facade, beamed ceilings and oil fired Aga. Located in the heart of the village, the property enjoys sea glimpses from its first floor and a real feature is the useful outbuilding at the rear of the residence.

In brief, the accommodation is arranged over three levels, one enters on the ground floor where there is a lounge, lower ground floor is a dining room, galley style kitchen and a shower room whilst on the first floor are two bedrooms. To the outside at the rear is a small courtyard whilst over a shared lane is a useful outbuilding.

Porthleven is a vibrant, picturesque fishing village and mainland Britain's most southerly port. The village is renowned for its many highly regarded restaurants, long beach, surfing, rugged coastline and clifftop walks. Community groups are thriving within the village with sports' clubs and a prize-winning brass band which can be heard echoing around the harbour on many a summer's Sunday evening.
