A detached residence in need of renovation or complete redevelopment, occupying a large plot in an elevated position
Situated along a quiet private lane, away from public view and approaching Porthcothan Bay can be found Kakuri. A detached residence occupying a substantial plot situated in an elevated position, making the most of the lovely far reaching views across fields to the sea and coastline in the distance. Adjacent to the property is access to the coastal path leading to the fabulous beach at Porthcothan Bay.
Kakuri represents an exceptional residential development opportunity to build a contemporary new home on the North Coast of Cornwall, just moments from the beach of Porthcothan and close to the bustling and highly popular village of St Merryn. The property requires modernisation and refurbishment or complete redevelopment, situated within a generous elevated plot offering distant sea views adjacent to open farmland. Development of Kakuri would of course be subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.
The current accommodation measures just under 1200 square feet and comprises a large lounge with sea views, exposed floorboards and wood burning stove, a ground floor double bedroom with sea views, 1950's cabinets in the kitchen, a bathroom and separate cloakroom. The first floor has two further double bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes. The property has UPVC double glazed windows throughout.
The extensive gardens and grounds are ripe for cultivation with fabulous views from the elevated front lawn. The driveway sweeps past the property and leads to the detached single garage behind. The gardens extend beyond into woodland and an enchanting private space, ready for landscaping. A leat runs through plot towards the rear of the garden. Services to the existing property include mains water, electricity and private drainage.
The bustling village of St Merryn offers a good range of amenities including several restaurants, a post office/grocery store, a bakers/delicatessen, a petrol station/garage and two Public Houses including Rick Stein's 'The Cornish Arms' serving great food and local ales.
