LOCATION
Cliffside is situated in an elevated south facing position only a short walk from Downderry and Seaton Beaches. The property lies in an established residential area within the village comprising a mix of individual detached houses. This is a prized location on a stretch of coastline often referred to as the Cornish Riviera. The constant passage of commercial, naval and pleasure craft across the bay, provides an extraordinary, distracting and inspirational outlook.

Downderry and Seaton have a primary school (rated “good” by Ofsted), restaurant, beachside public house, church, beach café, village store, post office and doctors’ surgery. Similar facilities are available at St Germans, which also has a main line railway station providing a useful commuter link to Plymouth (Plymouth to London Paddington 3 hours). Seaton also has a Countryside Park with riverside and woodland walks.

Downderry was in recent years noted by the Sunday Times in a list of the top ten “Best Places to Live by the sea”. Golf is available at Portwrinkle, St Mellion International Golf Resort, or Looe Bindown. The South West Coast Path is accessed nearby with parts of the neighbouring coastline in the ownership of the National Trust. The beach has a slipway and offers the opportunity to keep and launch boats (by permit). Seaton beach benefits from a RNLI Lifeguard station during the summer.

The sailing waters of the area are favoured by yachtsmen and deep water moorings are available on the Rivers Lynher and Tamar at St Germans, Saltash and Fowey/Polruan. Saltash has a Waitrose store on its northern outskirts and the city of Plymouth offers an abundance of facilities centred around the historic and fascinating waterfront areas of the Barbican and Hoe. The Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Beauty, the famous surfing beaches of North Cornwall, the Rame Peninsula, Mount Edgecumbe Country Park, historic country houses and many other places of interest lie within an easy drive.

DESCRIPTION
Cliffside comprises a detached south facing house in a frontline position allowing uninterrupted and panoramic sea views. The property is a partially completed self build project and represents a unique opportunity for a new owner to complete to their own specification. Cornwall Council Building Control indicates that work commenced on the house in the Spring of 1999 under application number – E2/99/00002/DOMFP, this followed a previous application to build a detached garage with workshop under. The planning permission was granted on the13th September 1998 under application number E2/98/00674/FUL for erection of detached dwelling with attached garage. The thoughtful design enables each room to capitalise on the sea views, with each room having direct access to the paved terrace.

The accommodation extends to about 1491 sq ft and the attached floorplan demonstrates the current/proposed configuration, clearly given the incomplete nature of the build project some buyers may seek to rethink the design and layout subject of course to any consents that may be required. Mains water, electricity and drainage are understood to be connected.

The current layout is as follows – GROUND FLOOR – Spacious Reception Hall – Cloakroom/WC – Family Bathroom – Integral Garage – GARDEN FLOOR – Hallway – 19′ Sitting/Dining Room – 15′ Kitchen/Breakfast Room – 10′ Office – 16′ Principal Bedroom with Proposed Ensuite Off – 2 Further Double Bedrooms – Store Room.

OUTSIDE
A level brick paved drive provides off road parking and leads to the integral garage.

The gardens/plot size is generous, please refer to the land registry plan.

At village road level immediately west of the house there is a level lawned garden providing potential for creation of further parking and other uses including perhaps siting a summerhouse of similar (subject to any consents that may be required). The remainder of the garden lies on the south side of the property, dominated by the outstanding sea views and comprises a very large paved terrace and a short flight of steps down to a level lawn.
