Tywarnhayle Road, Perranporth

A handsome bay-fronted Victorian semi of stone construction, sensitively extended and beautifully reimagined throughout, occupying one of Perranporth's most sought-after central addresses just a short stroll from three miles of golden sand.
The House
From the street, Gull House presents a classic Victorian bay front of warm-toned local stone with sash windows, original slate roof and a smart blue front door framed by mature subtropical planting. The entrance hall opens onto the property's original Victorian encaustic-tiled floor the first of several period details retained throughout. The ground floor centres on a generous open-plan living and dining room, with a woodburner set into the chimney breast, 50mm wooden blinds to the bay and a cushioned window seat overlooking the street. The kitchen sits beyond off-white shaker cabinetry, laminate worktops, induction hob, integrated wine cooler, vaulted ceiling with electric skylight, and a beautiful patterned encaustic-style tiled floor. A separate utility-cum-cloakroom and side door complete the ground floor. On the first floor are three bedrooms Bedroom Three at the front in the bay with built-in wardrobes, Bedroom Two to the rear (also with built-in wardrobes), and a single fourth bedroom together with a smart contemporary shower room. The second floor is given over entirely to the property's principal bedroom: an impressive front-aspect master suite of over 18 feet, with built-in wardrobes and its own en-suite cloakroom.
The Garden and Outside
Beautifully landscaped over three west-facing tiers: a generous stone-paved terrace immediately off the rear of the house; a level lawn beyond; and a raised upper tier behind a Cornish dry-stone retaining wall, planted with lavender and cordyline palms and anchored by a charming corner summerhouse. The lower terrace comfortably accommodates outdoor dining and a separate lounging arrangement; the summerhouse is large enough to serve as a home office, garden studio or sunset retreat. Off-road parking for two cars to the front of the house, plus a solar PV array with 5 kWh battery storage to the rear roof slope.
Situation
Perranporth sits on the north coast of Cornwall a working village with a beach few destinations in the country can match. The three-mile expanse of Perranporth Beach (merging into Penhale Sands beyond) is one of the largest and most beautiful in the south-west, lifeguarded daily by the RNLI from Easter through to early November, and unusually for Cornwall dog-friendly year-round. From Gull House, the walk down to the beach is around 300 metres. En route lies the heart of the village: a deeply independent mix of cafés, bakeries, restaurants, surf schools and shops; the Memorial Park, the bowling green and the cricket pitch; and the Watering Hole the only beach bar in the UK actually built on the sand. Further afield, the cathedral city of Truro is approximately seven miles to the south with mainline rail connections to London Paddington; Cornwall Airport Newquay is approximately nine miles; and the A30 trunk road is approximately four miles inland.
