PRICE GUIDE £415,000.00
Enviably located within an exceptional coastal development, this beautifully presented two bedroom second floor apartment commands panoramic sea views sweeping across from Praa Sands towards Rinsey Head and the Lizard Peninsula beyond.
At its’ heart is a fabulous bright and vibrant open plan living space, with striking engineered oak flooring and floor to ceiling windows which invite natural light in and frame an ever changing seascape. French doors open invitingly onto a curved balcony, enabling the fresh sea breeze to drift in, whilst providing the perfect place to linger over morning coffee or evening drinks towards sunset.
The contemporary kitchen is delightfully appointed, with sleek high gloss cabinetry, warm solid wood worktops and a curved breakfast bar from which to enjoy the coastal backdrop.
Both bedrooms are comfortable doubles, with the master bedroom complemented by a stylish well appointed fitted en suite shower room, while the family bathroom is equally impressive, featuring a ‘P’ shaped bath with thermostatic shower over, a designer chrome towel rail and the same attention to detail in its tiling and finish.
A lift and level side access path ensure the development is accessible to all.
Practicalities are catered for with a versatile utility room, allocated secure storage area for beach attire and surfboards and a wet suit washing & open drying facility for those who embrace the surf and sea.
Water and underfloor heating costs are included in the annual service charge, making this a truly energy efficient, affordable and relaxed low maintenance coastal retreat for permanent living or a holiday home.
The accommodation in brief comprises an entrance hall, an open plan kitchen/dining room/lounge, a utility room, a family bathroom and two bedrooms (master en-suite). The property benefits from an allocated parking space, a secure storage area, double glazing and underfloor heating courtesy of a communal ground source heat pump.
Praa Sands is situated approximately midway between the towns of Helston and Penzance. It is famous for its long sandy beach which is a favourite of both tourists and locals alike. The amenities in the village include a public house with restaurant, beach side cafe and a shop to cater for everyday needs. The nearby market towns of Helston and Penzance provide more comprehensive amenities including a wide range of major stores, restaurants and leisure centres with indoor swimming pools. Penzance also benefits from mainline rail links to London Paddington and beyond from its train station.
