The Property
Perfectly positioned in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty between Rock and Polzeath, the Porteath Bee Centre is within easy reach of north Cornwall's golden beaches, as well as nearby Lundy Beach and the hidden gem of Epphaven Cove. The whole plot extends to approximately 0.48 acres, making it an exciting prospect for investors, developers, or those seeking a lifestyle business opportunity.
The Porteath Bee centre offers an opportunity to secure a strategically located and versatile property. The current property enjoys far reaching sea views across open countryside and occupies a prominent position set back on the bend of the main road into Polzeath with a good level of hard standing parking to the front and rear. The property currently comprises two plots totalling 0.48-acres with an access road in between. Formerly a bee centre with a commercial shop and a processing room on the ground floor, the detached two storey building also has a café, kitchen and an interactive display room on the first floor. The premises are currently vacant.
Location
Porteath Bee Centre is located just a short drive from Polzeath, a highly desirable holiday and residential village with a large sandy beach, some of the best surfing in the country and spectacular walks along the Southwest Coast Path. Nearby in Rock and Daymer Bay conditions are ideal for sailing, water-skiing and windsurfing, while the renowned St Enodoc golf club boasts two excellent 18-hole courses. Polzeath and the surrounding area is blessed with a wealth of pubs and restaurants, a few of which are particularly notable - Rick Stein's Seafood Restaurant in Padstow, Restaurant Nathan Outlaw in Port Isaac and two restaurants from chef Paul Ainsworth, Number 6 in Padstow and The Mariners, Fourboys, The Dining Room, and The St Enodoc Hotel in Rock. Taking the ferry or water taxi from Rock to Padstow is both easy and fun. Most of what you need on a day-to-day basis can be found locally while the market town of Wadebridge has an inspiring variety of independent shops and a large supermarket. what3words ///winners.neatly.elections
