Situated in the heart of this increasingly sought-after Cornish fishing village is this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached former vicarage. A substantial and imposing residence full of character, the property has undergone extensive and sympathetic renovation in recent years, resulting in a wonderful home that blends charming period features with the refinements of modern living.

Warmed by oil-fired central heating, the property enjoys far-reaching views over the village, taking in the Bickford Institute clock tower, the pier and extending out to sea. At the rear of the main residence is a delightful one-bedroom annexe, currently operating as a successful holiday let. Alternatively, for those seeking a home office or studio, this versatile space could provide the ideal setting for achieving a perfect work-life balance.

The grounds are a real feature of the property, with generous gardens-mainly laid to lawn-surrounding and framing the home with a variety of well-established plants and shrubs. The garden also includes a charming summer house set on a raised deck, offering a pleasant spot to relax or entertain, while to the rear there is a good-sized garage complete with inspection pit. We have been advised by the vendors that a quotation has been obtained for providing parking in the front garden, further details available on request.

Porthleven is a thriving and picturesque Cornish fishing village, centred around its historic harbour which provides a natural focal point. Clustered around the harbour are a variety of pubs, restaurants, caf?s and independent shops, giving the village a lively year-round atmosphere. Local amenities cater for everyday needs and include a primary school with nursery, while the nearby market town of Helston-just a few miles away-offers a wider range of facilities including national retailers, a cinema, comprehensive school with sixth form college, supermarkets and a sports centre with indoor swimming pool.

Between Porthleven and Helston lies the stunning Penrose Estate, owned by the National Trust. This beautiful area offers an abundance of scenic walks and trails through rolling countryside and ancient woodland, surrounding Loe Pool-Cornwall's largest natural freshwater lake. Porthleven also has a strong sense of community and tradition, perhaps best illustrated by its award-winning brass band, whose summer performances around the harbour often fill the evening air with music, creating a unique and memorable atmosphere for residents and visitors alike.
