Stylish comfort and retro chic abound in this beautifully renovated Victorian cottage found in the sleepy fishing village of Portloe. The whitewashed terrace of nine former coastguard cottages sits high above the tiny cove with wonderful views along the coast.
Oak floors, wool rugs and panelled walls painted in muted Farrow & Ball tones sit happily with lovely furnishings and wonderful artwork. With a wood-burner for cosiness in the chilliest months and French doors out to a terrace set with teak furniture (including reclining steamer chairs for lazy summer days) and a Weber barbecue, 9 Coastguard Terrace ticks all the boxes.
This delightful cottage has a contemporary kitchen with an original slate floor, fully equipped with all necessary appliances. The sitting/dining-room is spacious with a big comfortable sofa and retro armchairs made cosy with cushions and throws. Double doors lead out to the gated slate-paved terrace, a lovely place to sit and enjoy views to the sea and leisurely meals when the sun shines. Steep cottage stairs lead up to the two bedrooms, one with sea views and a comfortable double bed and the other with twin beds and a bespoke built-in cabin bed (with full-size single mattress, recommended for children over eight only). The bathroom is contemporary and bright, with a separate shower cubicle and a bath with sea views – what a treat when soaking aching muscles after a day exploring the dramatic and rugged coastline!
Steep steps lead up to a raised lawn and barbecue area with outstanding views across the rooftops towards the sea.
