Set just a short walk from Porthallow beach, this flexible detached house sits on a very large plot and combines a four-bedroom main residence with a self-contained one-bedroom annexe. The property is presented well with established, well-kept gardens, extensive lawn areas, vegetable beds, greenhouse and patio spaces that capture long hours of sunshine — ideal for family life or outdoor entertaining. Off-road parking for several cars, plus a large garage with loft storage, answers practical needs for visitors and storage.
The annexe provides immediate rental or guest potential as a holiday let, long-term let or home office, adding versatility and potential income. Principal rooms are well proportioned across two storeys and the layout supports multigenerational living. The location on the Lizard Peninsula offers direct access to coastal walks, a sheltered cove and an active village community, making it attractive to buyers seeking a seaside lifestyle.
There are material considerations to note. Heating is oil-fired with a central boiler and radiators; the property drains to a septic tank. External walls are cavity built with no confirmed added insulation, and the EPC is D (58). Broadband speeds are reported slow and there is no mobile signal at the property — factors to weigh for home-working or frequent connectivity needs. Council Tax is band E and the area is described as having higher local deprivation metrics, which may be relevant for some buyers.
Overall this is a rare, spacious family home in a desirable coastal hamlet, offering garden space, parking and a ready-made annexe. It will suit buyers valuing lifestyle, outdoor space and rental flexibility, but those dependent on fast broadband, mobile coverage or keen energy efficiency should factor in likely upgrades and running costs.
