The location of this traditional Cornish house can only be described as fabulous. Perfectly situated with an uninterrupted outlook over Gerrans Bay, it lies in the heart of the small unspoilt coastal village of Portscatho within easy walking distance of all facilities which include the pub, general store, café, butchers, Post Office, galleries and beach. The house is set back from the road skirting the harbour and is separated from the pavement by a low wall and gate. The front garden has a low raised terrace, with room for a table and chairs. The outside of the house has been sensitively restored in the original style; however, the interior has been comprehensively updated and stylishly decorated throughout and furnished by two young London designers. The house has two sitting rooms, one each side of the hall; both having window seats with views of the sea and harbour.
