IN THE OWNER‘S WORDS
"39 years ago, we bought the Porthvean with our hearts because of its warm and friendly ambience – time has proved us right as it’s been a great place to live, bring up the children and run a business. Visitors love it too – right at the centre of things and within easy reach of everything else you might need."
THE PROPERTY
Centrally located in one of the most popular villages in Cornwall is this large Grade II listed property which offers a myriad of opportunities. Currently the owners rent out the whole property for holiday let whilst living in a 2 bedroom adjoining apartment (included in the sale). Previously the property has been a hotel, restaurant and B&B, which given its location, was immensely popular in each of its guises. Having not been sold for nearly 40 years, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a very large property within the centre of this north coast village.
Entering the property the inner hall leads to a large dining room to one side, a breakfast room to another and a comfortable sitting room to the rear. Some of the walls of these rooms have been opened, exposing the original timber frames, giving a glimpse of the history of the property whilst simultaneously creating a more modern interior. The ground floor is tiled throughout for ease of maintenance. The sitting room features an open fire with stone chimney breast and a slate hearth. To one side is a bar area.
To the rear of the ground floor is a large kitchen which has been adapted from the commercial kitchen it started as in to a more residential kitchen. That being said, there remains a large stainless steel extraction hood, a pair of cookers, three microwaves, fridge and freezer and two sinks around a large central preparation island. Next door there is a large walk in storage area which could be used as a pantry.
Upstairs there are 7 bedrooms, 6 of which are en-suite. The rooms and bathrooms are all well-presented and have character with exposed stone walls, some sash windows and for those to the front of the building views over the steeple of St. Agnes Parish Church.
Additionally there is a games room & Hot Tub/Sauna room.
To the rear of the property there is a large decked area which is a sun trap enclosed on three sides by the property. There is a gravel parking area which has room for 4 or 5 cars in addition to the parking area to the front of the property.
The separate owners accommodation is to the rear of the house accessed from the drive. Steps lead down to the front door. An inner hall leads to a study or small second bedroom. The master bedroom is at the end of the hall and has a large en-suite bathroom. Upstairs there is an open-plan living area with a sitting room and adjoining kitchen.
