Property

Commanding an impressive clifftop position with surrounding countryside and panoramic views over the coast and sea, this is a truly one-off opportunity to acquire this three-bedroom detached versatile home with good-size self-contained one-bedroom annexe sited in a large plot overlooking the beautiful village of Portmellon. The property, Omega, meaning ‘last’ due to its position being the last property in Portmellon before entering the Gorran area, is surrounded by rolling fields and stunning countryside. It is very private but with easy access to nearby Portmellon and the popular village of Gorran Haven.

Continued

With some of the finest views in the area, it will be difficult to find a property in such an elevated location overlooking the whole village and watching the tide roll in that also has far reaching panoramic views along the coastline and also out to sea. All rooms (apart from the dining room) offer wonderful sea views, as do the gardens and grounds. There is a sizeable annexe which also benefits from the wonderful sea views from the kitchen, bedroom and living room.

The Accommodation

The property itself offers an extremely versatile layout. Upon entering the ground floor into a good size entrance hall, doors lead to the separate dining room, the study / bedroom 3 and the well fitted kitchen which has stunning sea views of the ever-changing tides. There are stairs leading down to the lower ground floor and also stairs up to the very impressive sitting room with log burner and sliding patio doors to a wonderful sun terrace, ideal for dining alfresco and enjoying the finest views across the sea and surrounding countryside. This room is dual aspect with large windows and doors meaning the views can be enjoyed all year round.

Continued

Downstairs, the lower ground floor has two good size double bedrooms with the master bedroom a most impressive room with a large modern en suite shower room. In fact, both bedrooms have en suite shower rooms, built-in wardrobes and offer wonderful views across the gardens to the sea beyond, a stunning outlook to wake up to every morning. This was the holiday home of the legendary Manchester City goalkeeper, Bert Trautmann, who broke his neck in the 1956 FA Cup Final. He had the window sills lowered so, if he was confined to bed, he would still be able to see the sea. “Wake up, open your eyes and see the sea”.

Furthermore

To the side of the property is the self-contained annexe. This offers a great space for family or friends to use when visiting or perhaps for an elderly relative to live in. Alternatively, it could be used to rent out for holidays or as a long-term rental creating a lucrative income. It is an excellent size annexe with a fully fitted kitchen with lovely sea views. There is a large living room and also a good size bedroom, both with doors to the garden and with those lovely sea views, and a modern en suite shower room.

Outside

From the road there are two gated entrances leading into the relatively level plot providing ample off-road parking and lovely surrounding gardens with great potential and stunning sea, coastal and country views from every corner. There is a detached garage with a useful workshop / storage area attached. In the garden are two brick-built barbecues, an area of decking and a shed. There is a small orchard with 4 apple and 2 pear trees.
Due to the size of the plot, there are excellent development opportunities, subject to the necessary consents, depending on buyer’s thoughts and aspirations.

Views

The views from Omega are captivating and constantly changing with the weather and water craft. The sun rises over the sea and sets behind the house. There are not many homes where you can watch dolphins play and gannets dive from the comfort of your sitting room. Fin whales and basking sharks are occasionally seen. Due to its elevated position 75 metres above sea level, views can be enjoyed from here encompassing the whole hamlet of Portmellon and across St Austell Bay. The views are far-reaching, stretching out over Mevagissey and St Austell Bay and also across surrounding countryside towards The Lost Gardens of Heligan. You can also see Gribben Head, Polruan (opposite Fowey), Polkerris, across to Lansallos, Polperro and Looe island plus Rame Head near Plymouth and often nearly 40 miles to the South Hams coast of Devon including Salcombe. Inland you can see the hills beyond St Austell and Bodmin Moor, and on clear days you can see as far as Dartmoor.
