SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Conservatory, entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, cloakroom, utility room, 2 double bedrooms, bedroom 3, family shower room. Outside: asphalted driveway with off-road parking for several vehicles, tiered front garden, facing south and enjoying panoramic views over Porth beach, the ocean at high tide and views along the valley inland. N.B. Planning permission has been granted for the replacement of the existing dwelling with a large impressive 4 bedroom hypermodern glass fronted detached house.

DESCRIPTION A fantastically positioned three bedroomed detached modern bungalow in a large garden plot, with a glorious position that provides the property with beautiful views over a valley and direct uninterrupted views straight out across Porth beach. Although well presented, the property would benefit from a modicum of updating/modernisation. Due to the size of the garden circa ¼ of an acre, it is possible that somebody may consider this plot ripe for redevelopment and try and obtain planning permission for two separate dwellings on the site (subject to any necessary planning consents). The current owners have achieved planning permission for the replacement of the existing dwelling with a beautiful modern glass fronted detached two storey four bedroomed house, which would certainly utilise the site far better. The fantastic views the property enjoys from its elevated south facing position could make any

extension/redevelopment very worthwhile. The new house would be constructed in front of an awesome view which will give the new house fantastic panoramic views over Porth and the beach. The current accommodation takes advantage of the lovely view and comprises a large conservatory entrance with a door through to the entrance hall. The sitting room has an open fireplace and double glazed door opening onto the front terrace, enjoying the sea and valley views, as do the master bedroom and bedroom 3. To the rear of the property is bedroom 2 (which is a good double), the family shower room, kitchen, dining room, utility room and cloakroom. The gardens are tiered with boundaries of wooden fencing and walling. There are paths all the way around the bungalow and on the southern, seaward side is a broad paved and gravelled terrace providing the perfect place for alfresco dining or just lying in the sun. Below the terrace are two further tiers of garden dropping down to the boundary fence. This property is likely to appeal to a variety of potential buyers as it would make the ideal retirement venue with all the accommodation on one floor. Alternatively anybody wishing to now develop the site and utilise the planning permission gained for a large glass fronted four bedroom detached house, will enjoy the perfect site to create such a property on with the wall of glass facing south with wonderful views over Porth beach and the landscaping of the gardens can then be completed to your own taste. It might also be possible to apply for dividing the large ¼ of an acre plot into two, for two separate residences (subject to any necessary planning consents).

LOCATION Porth beach is a beautiful sandy beach facing the Atlantic ocean yet sheltered by headlands on either side and offering excellent bathing and body boarding. Around the headland to the right is Whipsiderry beach which also provides excellent bathing and surfing. Both of these are just a short walk from the property. At the back of Porth beach are shops which provide for day to day needs and the major town of Newquay lies to the south providing a wide array of leisure, commercial and retails facilities from its bustling town centre with out of town trading estates and supermarkets, two secondary schools and several primary schools. Newquay has, for many years, been one of Cornwall’s most popular holiday destinations being blessed with fantastic sandy beaches, most notably Fistral which is a venue on the World Surfing Tour thus attracting surf competitions periodically throughout the year. Some of Newquay’s beaches have recently attracted Blue Flag status and on its outskirts, Newquay also has its own airport which provides daily flights to London and other UK airports and an increasing number of European airports. Newquay is well connected by road with easy access out to the A30 (Cornwall’s main arterial road) providing swift access further into the county to both north and south coastal resorts or out of county, remains dual carriageway all the way to Exeter where it joins the national motorway network.

San Marcos is approached from Whipsiderry Close (which is a private road), via an asphalted driveway that sweeps down one side of the plot providing off-road parking.- From the driveway a concreted path leads down to the house. In front of the house is a large paved patio area facing almost due south providing panoramic views over the whole of Porth beach and the surrounding village. Beyond the raised patio in front of the property is a further gravelled sitting area dropping down in tiers to the gardens below with stone retaining walls between each tier. In all the plot extends to approximately ¼ of an acre and planning permission has been granted for the erection of a brand new detached four bedroom house on the site, to replace the existing dwelling.
