Trethan Cottage is a small, characterful three-bedroom semi-detached home a short walk from Porthleven harbour and beach. The cottage blends original features—exposed beams, sash windows and a log burner—with practical additions such as double glazing and a useful utility room. Off-street parking for one vehicle is a notable benefit so close to the waterfront and village amenities.
The accommodation suits a small family or couple seeking a coastal base with scope to personalise. Upstairs provides three bedrooms, a shower room and a large storage room that could double as a study. The kitchen/diner is sociable and benefits from good storage and character features, while the living room feels cosy with low ceilings and a wood-burning stove.
Buyers should be aware of several material points: the property has an EPC rating of 39 (E) and is heated by an oil-fired boiler; the external granite walls are assumed uninsulated and there are notes of damp and general modernization needs in places. The house is modest in overall size (around 787 sq ft) and sits on a small plot, so outdoor space is limited.
In summary, Trethan Cottage offers immediate coastal proximity and traditional Cornish charm with practical parking — a comfortable home now, and a property with clear potential for efficiency improvements and cosmetic updating to unlock further value.
