Ground Floor Apartment

by

*** CHAIN FREE *** – A wonderful opportunity has arisen to purchase this individually designed two double bedroom luxury ground floor apartment that is but a short distance from Porthcurno beach and the famous Minack Theatre. This stylish apartment has undergone complete re-wiring along with the renewal of the heating system together with uprated sound and heat insulation. Externally there is a private landscaped garden area for you to enjoy along with parking for a good-sized vehicle and a shared secure storage area. We feel this spacious apartment would suit those looking for a low maintenance bolthole or holiday investment but would certainly lend itself to all year round living. The apartment is now completed and will provide comfortable and modern living accommodation throughout, so we highly recommend an early viewing to avoid disappointment.
