Porthpean House is a 19th-century, Grade 2 listed property and enjoys the most splendid sea views, being uniquely placed with private access just 50 yards above the sandy, sheltered beach at Porthpean and only 1 mile from the 18th-century harbour side village of Charlestown, via the South West Coast Path. Retaining much of its period charm, this traditionally furnished detached Grade 2 listed house, as featured in the 2013 Richard Curtis film, About Time, is an ideal base for exploring the many sandy beaches of St Austell Bay, the fishing port of Mevagissey and the pretty sailing town of Fowey.
All the amenities of Charlestown are within 1.5 miles by road, including a selection of pubs, restaurants, cafes, a children's playground, a quayside and small stoney beaches. St Austell, 2 miles away, has a larger selection of shops and amenities, and for the garden lovers, the Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan are within a 15-minute drive.
The bustling coastal villages of Mevagissey & Fowey are 5 and 8 miles respectively, there is bike hire at Pentewan, and there are several golf courses close by.
