Hillcrest

About this property

Hillcrest is a sunny, south-west facing bungalow, set on the cliff top above the village of Porthtowan. Perfect for a family of six, the property provides access to National Trust land in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with a spectacular outlook along the coast towards St Ives. Upon arriving at the property, you will discover two sought-after off-road parking spaces along with an on-street parking space, and an enclosed front lawn where you can enjoy a quiet moment and take in the sea breeze. Enter Hillcrest to find a spacious sitting room with blanketed seating to take advantage of as you put on a family-favourite DVD. Make your way into the country-style kitchen where several appliances await, rustle up some delicious meals with the help of a large fridge/freezer and handy electric oven! When dinner is served, gather your group and enjoy a meal in the conservatory; from here you can watch the sun setting over the sea and Godrevy Lighthouse flashing its warning to sailors. There are well-presented three bedrooms: a double with beautiful sea views, a twin with equally beautiful sea views and another twin, along with family bathroom and an additional walk-in shower room. Outside, the gently sloping enclosed lawned garden is an ideal spot for children to play in safety while you enjoy a refreshing beverage and savour the sun's rays. The Victory Inn, half a mile up the lane, offers an excellent welcome to all visitors (including dogs), well-kept beer and good pub food.

Make your way to St Agnes, a large village, and bask in the sun on Trevaunance Cove, venture across Blue Hills tin and explore the quaint Little Orchard Village. The South-West Coast Path, only a couple of minutes from the front door, skirts over the cliffs heading north past Chapel Porth cove, set against an iconic backdrop of historic mine workings and buildings, towards Newquay and south to Portreath, with its lovely harbour and beach, then onwards to St Ives.
