The Old School House

Kitchen and Dining Area

Wrapped up in gorgeous blues and whites, the kitchen and dining area naturally brings everyone together with its open plan design and sublime sea views. The bay windows frame Porthleven’s rolling tides, and the dining table is situated close by, providing the best backdrop for breakfast, lunch and dinner. 

Maintaining the dining room’s original 19th century design, there’s a feature fireplace framed by vintage blue tiles and a cast iron mantelpiece. Colourful Cornish artwork adorns the walls, while the shelves are dotted with ornaments and contemporary LED lighting. On warmer days, open up the windows to let the sea air roll in and prepare icy drinks in the adjoining kitchen. 

With porcelain tiles underfoot and fresh white walls, the kitchen feels elegant and sophisticated. Set back from the dining area, it’s finished in muted cream cabinetry with marble countertops. A ceramic farmhouse sink sits in front of large shuttered windows, while a Bosch dishwasher can be found underneath. There’s plenty of storage space and an American-style LG fridge-freezer for unpacking the holiday food shop. Well-equipped with everything you’d need to whip up holiday suppers, there’s also a double Neff oven with an induction hob, as well as a Nespresso Inissia coffee machine.

Bedroom Four with En-Suite

Situated on the ground floor, this king size room is finished in sophisticated greys and whites. Dappled chrome wallpaper has been paired with wooden shutters, fresh linens and velvet throws to create a luxurious room for two. There’s also large freestanding wardrobes and a glossy dressing table beside the bed. 

Calm and understated, the marbled en-suite features a delightful waterfall shower and a deep bath tub. 

Living Area

Divided by a sliding door, choose to open up the social space and move between the living area and kitchen with ease. Incredibly spacious, the living area enjoys heart-melting views over the coast and across to the harbour’s clock tower. Finished in sage greens with autumnal accents, the gentle colour palette beautifully matches the room’s exposed granite quoin walls and bamboo floors. 

Two large dove grey sofas command the space - positioned to make the most of the blue views, while the wood burner creates a natural focus point of the room and sits beneath a granite mantelpiece. Low hanging pebble pendant lighting transforms the space from a cosy nighttime hideaway to a bright daytime haven. On warmer days, open up the terrace doors to welcome the afternoon sun and sink into a sofa to watch the rays dance on the ocean.

Utility and WC

With stone tiling underfoot and cream cabinetry, the spacious utility features an additional Bosch fridge-freezer as well as a Bosch washing machine and tumble dryer. There’s also another sink and lots of space for hanging coats and storing walking boots. 

You’ll also find a small WC leading off from the adjacent hallway.

Surf Store

Accessed via the side of the house, the surf store provides plenty of storage for sandy boards and wetsuits. There’s also an additional sink for rinsing off after days on the beach.
