Property description
One of the most distinctive detached houses in the popular Roseland village of Portscatho, Nanshute Cottage is on the market for the first time in 38 years. Forget the rugged Poldark landscape and instead imagine the more gentle, elegant teas of The Camomile Lawn.
The property was built in the 1930s and is situated within a large plot, enjoying outstanding views over Gerrans Bay, Portscatho Harbour and village, Nare Head and Gull Rock from both the house and gardens. With many character features, the property has been well maintained and cared for and would now benefit from further updating and modernisation. There is also ample scope for the property to be increased in size (subject to the required consents). This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most desired properties in Portscatho and an early inspection is recommended by the vendor's sole agents.
The property is approached over North Parade to the single garage with additional parking for one car. A flight of stone steps leads up to the property, continuing up to a gate giving access to New Road. The spacious accommodation offers a light sitting room and dining room, both enjoying the outstanding views over Gerrans Bay, third bedroom/study and kitchen/breakfast room with oil fired Rayburn, together with Cloakroom/WC. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, each enjoying the wonderful views, family bathroom and a further eaves storage room. Outstanding views are enjoyed from both the front and rear gardens, which are laid to lawn at the front with a wide terrace leading around the cottage to a further screened, side terrace area and rear garden which has lawned areas and vegetable plot.
