Set on a large elevated plot in Maenporth, this five-bedroom detached home delivers panoramic sea views and generous family living across 2,505 sq ft. The house blends modern upgrades — a new roof, double glazing and a ground-source heat pump — with flexible accommodation that could suit a multi‑generational household or provide an annex-style layout on the ground floor.
Living and entertaining centre on a bright open-plan reception with full-width patio doors, a well-equipped shaker kitchen with Corian surfaces, and a Mediterranean-style courtyard ideal for alfresco dining. Bedrooms are well proportioned: the principal suite has sea views, a dressing room and an ensuite, while other bedrooms include en-suite or Jack & Jill options and useful eaves storage.
Practical strengths include a double garage with workshop space, ample driveway parking, outbuildings (summerhouse, greenhouse), and fruit beds. Energy efficiency is supported by double glazing and the ground-source heat pump, helping running costs compared with purely electric heating. The property is freehold, not at flood risk, and sits in an affluent, low-crime village close to beaches and a highly rated primary school.
Important drawbacks: broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect home working. Council tax is described as expensive. The house dates from 1965 with later extensions; while a new roof and modern glazing have been fitted, buyers should expect some ongoing maintenance typical of a property of this age and timber-frame construction. Overall, the home suits families seeking space and coastal lifestyle, or buyers wanting an executive coastal residence with renovation potential to personalise.
