Property code: OC-HARBLI

A stylish Grade II-listed town situated in a coveted waterfront location of Porthleven and boasting serene views across the bustling harbour. This spacious hideaway is the perfect base for family gatherings or friend reunions with a furry companion in tow. Thrill-seekers can brave an invigorating morning dip in the calm waters of Porthleven Beach (700 metres), before indulging in an al fresco breakfast spread on the paved patio with an unbeatable coastal backdrop.

This historic property marries traditional style with contemporary flair. Enjoy elegant bay windows, warm wooden textures, crisp neutral tones, and tasteful soft furnishings. Slip off sandy shoes at the door before padding into the light-flooded lounge/diner. Adorn the wooden dining table with a fresh summer spread, top off glasses with a bottle of fizz, then settle in for a celebratory evening feast. Retire to the lounge and sink onto the plump sofas to scoff some chocolates or curl up by the bay window with a book. In cooler months, fire up the wood burner and stretch weary feet by the crackling fire. Rustle up a sweet treat in the modern kitchen with sleek cabinetry. Ascend the staircase to discover three well-presented bedrooms. Choose from a king with tranquil sea views, an airy twin, and a bright single overlooking the harbour. Early risers can perch on the patio with a coffee with their canine companion to spot the local fisherman kitting up for a day at sea.

Stroll the eclectic harbour of Porthleven (within 100 metres) and sip a tipple on a terrace or peruse the selection of independent shops and galleries. Drink in the salty ocean air as you amble along the coastal path to Loe Bar (1.5 miles) or capture a blustery family portrait at the beautifully rugged Lizard Peninusla viewpoint (13.5 miles).

A lovely, comfy home from home with stunning views across the harbour. Perfect for catching the evening sun, or curling up in the bay window with a cup of tea or glass of wine to watch the sea!

A fantastic house with loads of little extras that just made me smile - the dog towels, the sweeties and all the lovely throws, which we certainly needed on the breezy weekend when we stayed in April.

Property needs to be better maintained . The toilet handle is permanently in the down position, and does not flush properly. The fridge door does not always fully close , which then means it stars to defrost. I had to buy a new bulb for the bathroom light, no screw ends in the bulb drawer. the smoke alarm battery ran out, constantly bleeping. shoulRead mored be tested at each changeover. Lovely spot, look after it. Hide
