A LANDMARK COASTAL HOME OFFERING EXCEPTIONAL FLEXIBILITY, CHARACTER AND INCOME POTENTIAL, ABOVE PORTHCURNO BAY

The Property

Perfectly positioned above one of Cornwall's most celebrated stretches of coastline, Sea View House is an elegant, detached residence enjoying far-reaching views across the Atlantic and the timeless beauty of Porthcurno Bay. Dating from 1910, the property reflects the generous proportions and craftsmanship of the Edwardian era, while thoughtful modernisation has created a home that is both refined and practical for contemporary living.

.

Currently operating as an established and highly regarded Bed & Breakfast, Sea View House offers remarkable flexibility. Whether continued as a successful hospitality business or reimagined as an exceptional private residence, the property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial coastal home in one of West Cornwall's most sought-after locations.

.

Light-filled interiors and well-balanced accommodation define Sea View House, where period character sits comfortably alongside modern comforts. The welcoming entrance hall leads to two beautifully proportioned reception rooms, each enjoying an abundance of natural light and offering elegant spaces for everyday living or entertaining. Currently arranged as a comfortable sitting room and guest dining room, these versatile spaces retain the warmth and character expected of a home of this period.

Accommodation

At the heart of the property is a contemporary kitchen, thoughtfully designed to provide both style and practicality. Complemented by an adjoining utility room, it offers generous workspace and storage, perfectly suited to the demands of family life or guest accommodation. A well-appointed ground floor bedroom with en-suite completes this level, providing flexible accommodation for guests or multigenerational living.

.

The first floor offers five beautifully presented bedrooms, three benefiting from modern en-suite facilities. Each has been carefully designed to provide comfort and privacy, with several enjoying captivating views towards the coastline. Adjoining this level is a self-contained annexe with its own independent entrance, creating an ideal space for owner occupation, extended family or additional guest accommodation whilst maintaining complete independence from the principal house.

.

The accommodation continues to the second floor, where two further double bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms, occupy the upper level of the house. Peaceful and inviting, they provide elevated views and complete the property's generous accommodation.

.

Throughout the home, the careful balance between heritage and contemporary living has been maintained, allowing Sea View House to retain its original character whilst meeting the expectations of modern lifestyles.

Outside

To the front of the property, a generous south-facing terrace provides an inviting extension of the living space. Enjoying sunshine throughout much of the day, it offers the perfect setting for leisurely breakfasts, alfresco dining or quiet evenings overlooking the ever-changing colours of the Atlantic. The surrounding gardens and elevated position ensure a wonderful sense of privacy while making the most of the spectacular coastal outlook that defines this exceptional home.

Location

Sea View House occupies a privileged position within the picturesque village of Porthcurno, one of Cornwall's most iconic coastal destinations. Renowned for its crystal-clear waters, sweeping sandy beach and dramatic granite cliffs, the village has long been admired for its natural beauty and unspoilt character.

.

The South West Coast Path lies just moments from the property, offering spectacular walks through some of the county's most breathtaking scenery, while the internationally renowned Minack Theatre provides an extraordinary setting for open-air performances overlooking the Atlantic.
