" Prestigious private development. Detached two bedroom coastal house with stunning sea views to the south. Potential to improve and create additional first floor space. Garage/Workshop. Access to private beach.

SITUATION Duporth Bay is a private coastal development situated approximately two miles from St Austell and within around one mile of the historic port of Charlestown. Within a short walk from the garden at Sevens is a pathway leading down to the private communal beach, which is owned by the residents of Duporth. Access is also available onto the coastal path.

  The nearby market town of St Austell is at the very heart of Cornwall surrounded by beautiful sweeping coastline, and picturesque countryside. The town centre whilst easily accessible manages to combine old and new with its narrow streets and smart pedestrian precincts with a fine selection of shops and close by attractions to include The Eden Project, a tremendous visitor attraction.

  The Cathedral City of Truro is approximately seventeen miles distant and now forms the retailing, administrative and cultural centre of Cornwall.

  This individual home includes the use of hardwood timber to the window frames, flooring, and in parts, the construction of the kitchen. Currently arranged as a two-bedroom bungalow style home, the larger of the two ground floor bedrooms has double doors opening to the sun terrace with stunning sea views beyond. Subject to planning consent, the first floor offers additional bedroom space, the current configuration providing some vertical stud timberwork in readiness to create at least two separate bedrooms or alternatively an additional sitting room taking advantage of the walk-in box bay window, again enjoying elevated coastal views.
