Situated in the popular coastal location of Carlyon Bay which offers a range of amenities including a championship golf course, Edie's restaurant and a 4* hotel with two restaurants, and Chinese restaurants. Charlestown which is a popular Georgian harbour side village, is approximately one mile and can also be reached by the coastal footpath almost opposite the property, and is situated around a picturesque inner and outer harbour with pebble beach, some two miles from St Austell town centre. The harbour currently houses some fishing boats, and has been the back drop of several feature films and TV series such as Alice in Wonderland, Doctor Who, The Three Musketeers, The Eagle Has Landed and Poldark, largely due to its picturesque natural and unspoilt coastline surrounds. Charlestown has a hotel and guest houses, with excellent restaurants, and a selection of public houses.
Directions: - The property is approached by passing Charlestown Primary School on the left hand side, then taking the first right hand turning into Sea Road. Follow the road and the property will appear on the right hand side approximately half way along.
Services: - Purchasers must make their own enquiries regarding the site although it is believed all mains services are available.
Planning History - Details and associated drawings can be viewed on Cornwall Councils Online Planning Register.
