HARBOUR VIEWS

Chic and tasteful, The Blue House is a renovated, Grade II listed cottage, perched just above the harbour in the historic and unspoilt Cornish fishing village of Portloe. Enjoying spectacular views over the pretty harbour and out to miles of open sea, this charming home has been restored to offer a high quality property that remains sympathetic to its heritage.

Steeped in history, the Blue House was more than likely built in the mid-19th century. Of particular interest is the circa 18th century lime kiln which is built into the hill, lies below the property’s sun terrace and now offers excellent lockable outside storage, ideal for canoes or fishing and boating equipment.

The accommodation in this unique home is cleverly reversed with two lovely bedrooms on the lower ground floor both enjoying sea views. There is also a fabulous wetroom to wash away sand and salt from the day’s outing.

The main living space is on the upper ground floor and features a vaulted ceiling, a wood-burner and twin windows filling the room with light. The stylish kitchen, complete with an integrated dishwasher and fridge and freezer, is beautifully set out. There is also a utility room.

The property’s inspiring views can be enjoyed even more from the spacious and private sun terrace, which is set just off the kitchen and accessed from a pretty entrance courtyard.

The panorama from the sun terrace spans over the harbour and along the coast allowing you to watch the fishermen bringing in their day’s catch.

Having been rented on a holiday basis via Boutique Retreats for a number of years with an excellent letting record, The Blue House is now on the market with a guide price of £625,000. To find out more about this Portloe home, contact H Tiddy on 01326 270212.
