Oyster Cottage, Porthleven
Property Description
This elegant and beautifully presented traditional character cottage is situated less than a 5 minute stroll from the long stretch of sandy beach and the charismatic harbour in the picturesque fishing village of Porthleven. Set back from the road and almost hidden from view, Oyster Cottage is quietly positioned for a relaxing break and yet conveniently placed for those who wish to explore the coast. The nearby coastal footpath traces its intricate way over tall cliff tops and above the beach to Loe Pool, Cornwall's largest fresh water lake. It is a unique natural environment, revealing the contrasts and harmonious relationship between the lake, ocean and countryside. Ambitious ramblers can continue along the path to the hidden coves and charming fishing communities of the Lizard Peninsula whilst the less energetic might be content to linger alongside the harbour, browsing the galleries and craft shops or finding refreshment at the old inn and pubs. From a delicious Cornish Cream tea and hand-made wood fired pizza to a fine dining experience at the Michelin recognised restaurant, Kota, Porthleven caters for all tastes and budgets and every convenience with a mini-supermarket, delicatessen, fishmonger, bakery and post office. The premier beach resort of Praa Sands and its coastal golf course is a ten minute drive, the vibrant harbourside town of Penzance is a 20 minute drive and closer to home is the ancient market town of Helston. Refurbished with flair, Laura Ashley furnishings add comfort and style and the English and French antique furniture compliment the traditional period features including a wood burner, beamed ceilings and solid oak flooring. To the rear is an enclosed garden equipped with patio furniture which is practical for children and pets and provides a high degree of privacy. Parking can be found nearby.
