Property description
A simply breathtaking four or five bedroom home set in spacious grounds of 0.6 of an acre just above Portheras Cove. For sale for the first time! A magical location that you will never want to leave!
A Cornish Adventure
When you head along the lane from Morvah, a farmyard appears to be the end of the road, but in the corner a five bar gate leads quite literally to another world. The geese and cockerel will take no notice of you at all as you close the gate behind you and make your way along the single track until it takes you to Chypraze House. As soon as you get the first glimpse of it nestled in its large plot and take in the setting, the vast expanse of blue sea, the gorgeous sandy cove just below, the winding cliff pathâ¦. I guarantee you will be speechless â¦.well you may manage a long slow \"WOW\".The neighbours may stare at you as you pull into the drive but don't worryâ¦that's just what Highland Cattle do!
A Seaside Escape
You'll want to linger on the terrace, it's hard to take your eyes of the view but curiosity will get the better of you and you'll need to find the answer to a very simple questionâ¦are the views from inside the house as good as from the outside?Built by the current owners parents in the 1950's originally as a single storey home, the first floor was added later. They created a home that is simple yet classically \"beachy\" the living space and most bedrooms have been arranged to make the most of the view. It's easy to imagine hunkering down in a storm in front of the open fire in the living room or getting up to watch a new day dawn from the dining room whilst tucking into breakfast. The routine here would be simple, revolving around the beach, rockpooling, surfing, playing cricket at sunset, and then doing it all again tomorrow. The kitchen has been designed to have a broad open plan serving counter to the dining room - no need to miss out on the view or be unsociable and there is plenty of cupboard space plus a large pantry/store cupboard. There is a double bedroom on the ground floor and a family bathroom. Heading upstairs, there is a large central landing with three double bedrooms and a single bedroom - this is the only room that has some restricted head height. There is a modern shower room with white suite and a large and light landing.
Out and About
Life at Chypraze House will soothe your soul, whether you buy it as a holiday home or to live here full time you will never tire of this wonderful place. The coast path is ideal for exploring and the lanes make for pleasurable cycling whether you're a budding \"Wiggins\" or after something more leisurely. A path from the gate takes you to the sandy cove with a good surf break for boogie boarding. There is a natural sea pool too, and pretty open fishing boats land their catch in the adjacent cove.The closest village community is Morvah with its granite houses and 14th century church. Penzance is about 8 miles away where you will find a bustling town with many independent and multinational stores, banks, art galleries, restaurants, schools and the mainline train station with a direct link to London Paddington. Newquay Airport is 48 miles away with regular flights to London and Manchester
Why Not Come & See For Yourself?
