"On the elevated outskirts of this increasingly sought after north coast village, enjoying stunning, panoramic views over Portreath, surrounding countryside, the beach, rugged coastline and out to sea, a detached and highly versatile house, substantially remodelled and improved by the present owners, currently providing 2 bedroom, 2 shower room main accommodation to the ground floor, together with an independently accessed 1 2 bedroom lower ground floor flat, suitable for a dependent relative or source of letting income etc, but easily reconfigured to provide a 4 bedroom, 3 shower room home if preferred.

The Location As the name implies, Lighthouse Hill occupies a prominent position on the elevated northern outskirts of this sought after north coast village, on a quiet, relatively traffic free road, perched above the harbour and village. Consequently, stunning views, particularly through picture windows in the open plan living area, are enjoyed over the village below , to miles of countryside beyond, the sandy bathing beach, along the rugged coastline and, from the kitchen and decking, out to sea.

Cornwall s continuous South West Coast Path is on the doorstep , with breathtaking walks in a northerly direction to Porthtowan beach and along the North Cliffs to Hells Mouth and Godrevy Point to the south west. The village contains many day to day amenities, including a county primary school, supermarket, post office, cafes, restaurants, public house and direct access onto the cycle path which crosses the county to Bissoe, Devoran and Restronguet Creek on the south coast.

The sandy beach is particularly favoured by families and surfers; Redruth is approximately four miles distant, from where the A30 provides easy access to the cathedral city of Truro and throughout the county.

The Property Constructed circa 1970, 10 Lighthouse Hill has been substantially remodelled and improved by the present owners, who have configured the accommodation to provide two en suite bedrooms with stunning open plan living areas to the first floor, together with a lower ground floor flat , independently accessed from the exterior, ideal for a dependent relative or as a source of letting income etc. Alternatively, the internal staircase which used to descend from the living room can, we understand, be easily reinstalled if preferred.
