Description of Vessacks
This detached double glazed family house with spectacular views of the sea and rugged coastline, is set in a superb cliff top position high above Porth Chapel beach.
Approached by a narrow lane that leads from the village of Porthcurno, past the renowned Minack Theatre down to the 12th century church of St Levan and entered through the parking area, a few railed steps lead down to the front door which opens to the hallway, a utility room with shower and an adjacent breakfast room.
There are double glazed Patio doors looking westwards over dramatic headlands and far out to sea. The main living area is a delightful family room with comfortable seating, a dining suite, and a hatchway separating the fitted kitchen.
Leading off the family room are a small TV room and a south facing sun room which provides a spectacular vantage point for watching the bird life circle above the rocks and waves. The remainder of the ground floor accommodation comprises two bedrooms with a 5ft double and twin 3ft beds respectively, a bathroom with vanity basin and a separate W.C.
Upstairs are two further bedrooms each with an en-suite W.C. and basin, one has twin 3ft beds, the other is a large children's room with two sets of 3ft bunk beds, and there is a shower room on the landing. The unfenced sloping ground around the house makes it unsuitable for children under 5. The splendid sandy coves of Porth Chapel and Porthcurno are a few minutes walk away as are the open air Minack Theatre and Visitor Centre and Porthcurno's secret Wartime Telegraph Museum.
The South West Coastal Path is close by and there are stunning sea views around Gwennap Head leading to Lands End 3 miles away. Penzance, 9 miles, has a wide selection of amenities including a railway station and is the main gateway to the Isles of Scilly by boat.
