A subtle coastal vibe flows throughout this handsome holiday home, creating a wonderful base for a break with friends or family. Located within Porthcurno Valley, the bungalow is backed by countryside. Leave your vehicles on the driveway and enjoy at your leisure the iconic Minack Theatre – where performers entertain beneath the stars and subtropical gardens thrive – and, below, a stunning beach where fine white sands are lapped by azure water. Learn more about this and how the village later once played a vital role in the telecommunications industry at the Porthcurno Telegraph Museum. The South West Coast Path connects the village to other important landmarks including Land’s End to the west, Mousehole and then Penzance to the east. Passenger ferries depart from Penzance for the Isles of Scilly – close enough for a day-trip – or vibrant St Ives, on Cornwall’s Atlantic coastline, is a 17-mile drive.
This striking bungalow is detached and stylishly set up for a party of eight – plus up to three pets – with a light and airy ambiance that echoes its surrounds. Sure to be the social hub of your holiday, the spacious kitchen has all the must-haves of home, is complemented by a utility room, and incorporates a contemporary dining space area. When you’re ready to unwind, there’s a choice of rooms in which to spend time together or apart. Stretch out by the wood burner in the lounge to enjoy a film on the Smart TV, relax in the sunroom while the dogs snooze at your feet, or hide-out in the games room – accessed by a steep staircase from the utility area, it has a Smart TV and an XBox for added entertainment. As bedtime arrives, four individually styled bedrooms offer the flexibility to suit any party make-up: two king-size rooms – one of which has an en-suite shower room – plus a twin room and a bunk room. A family bathroom and separate shower room offer comfort and convenience for all.
Just as impressive as the property’s interiors, the outside space starts with a multi-surface driveway to the front with space to park a couple of cars. Behind the bungalow, a large and beautifully finished decked terrace is enclosed and comes complete with furniture for dining and lounging – perfect for al fresco meals and naps in the sunshine. Steps and a small bridge lead down to a wild garden that’s also enclosed and truly magical, with mature planting, a stream, and farmland beyond. Ensuring attention to every detail, there’s a secure storage area for bikes and surfboards, plus a dedicated EV charging point.
