A ‘rare offering’ Cornish clifftop bungalow with sensational sea views and direct beach access has hit the market for £1.95million.
The property, called Methrose, from the outside may be an ordinary 1970s bungalow, but it sits in a spectacular spot overlooking the iconic crystal clear waters and sandy beaches of St Austell Bay in Cornwall.
The four-bedroom house lies across a stunning stretch of headland which allows for direct access onto the South West Coast Path, immediately from the back garden onto the two beaches below.
One of the beaches, Duporth, does not have a public car park, meaning it is effectively a private spot for people local to the area.

The one-storey home in the Cornish village of Porthpean features a terrace in the garden with stunning views of the bay and landscaped gardens
The sensational views overlooking the sea are best viewed from the L-shaped sitting room with large glass windows to gaze out of
The clifftop home is perfect for holiday letters but estate agents have said it would also work for a permanent resident too
The 2,435 sq ft home, found in the Cornish village of Porthpean, features an entrance hall, a kitchen and dining room, a living room and four bedrooms – all with en suites.
The sensational sea views are best viewed from the L-shaped sitting room but three of the four bedrooms also have a vista.
Large glass windows allow for truly spellbinding views from inside or in summer, a huge terrace overlooking the rugged coastline is perfect for relaxing or hosting guests.
The new owner also has the potential to create their own vision after planning permission for a two-storey replacement house has now lapsed.
The beautiful home, found in a tranquil setting, also features a good-sized mature garden with a large patio terrace and gate, leading down to the coastal walk.
Although it is located in the idyllic coastal village of Porthpean, the historic Grade II listed port of Charlestown is also nearby.
The world heritage site is renowned for its picturesque harbour that is surrounded by immensely pretty sea captains houses and colour-washed cottages.
The property is located within the idyllic coastal village of Porthpean, set on a stunning stretch of headland, just to the south of the historic port of Charlestown
The property has been described as ‘rare offfering’ due to its magnificent position and views overlooking the crystal clear waters and sandy beaches
The home has access to two beaches, one of which – Duporth – does not yet have a public car park, meaning it is often private for locals
Jason Fletcher, from estate agents Rohrs and Rowe, said: ‘The property is a rare offering, not only due to its magnificent position and views, but it is also unusual to find a fully single storey residence in such a prime location.
‘What’s really amazing about the location there is you have Duporth Beach right in front of you and on the other side of the peninsula you have got Porthpean.
Mr Fletcher added that the property is a two-minute walk to Duporth Beach while on the other side, there is cove, perfect for swimming and paddleboarding.
‘The South West Coast Path is directly outside the back garden and takes you down some steps to the beach,’ he added.
‘The house was built in the 1970s and has been added to and expanded. It was granted planning permission for a replacement two-storey home but that has lapsed so you would have to reapply.
‘It is one of the last in that area that hasn’t been redeveloped.
‘I think this property would appeal to anyone looking to have a bolthole or holiday let in Cornwall, it has been used as a holiday let recently. But it would also work for someone looking to be fully residential.
‘It’s the perfect spot for anyone wanting to be close to the coast and have direct access to the beach.
‘And there’s no public car park in the immediate area at Duporth so it is effectively a private beach only really used by people who live in the local area that can access it easily or those walking the coast path who stop off for a short time.’
The nearby town of St Austell offers numerous shops, supermarkets and a leisure centre, plus a mainline railway station to London Paddington.
Meanwhile, the attractive coastal town of Fowey just 9 miles distant has a range of shops, restaurants and bars and excellent sailing facilities.
