Description
Melilot presents a thoughtfully arranged and highly appealing layout, designed to maximise both natural light and the extraordinary coastal outlook. The ground floor centres around a generous open plan kitchen and dining room, forming a sociable and functional living space ideal for both everyday use and entertaining. This level also accommodates a well-proportioned double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, alongside a family bathroom.

The first floor is particularly impressive, where the principal living room is positioned to fully capture the panoramic views. With direct access onto two balconies, recently upgraded in 2025 with sleek stainless steel and glass balustrading, this space offers a seamless connection to the coastal setting while enhancing both the aesthetic and sense of openness. The balconies provide an exceptional vantage point from which to enjoy the ever-changing harbour, coastline and open sea.

The primary bedroom, also on this level, is a spacious double with built-in wardrobes, complemented by a well-appointed family shower room. From this floor, there is also access to a large boarded loft, complete with lighting and a loft ladder, providing excellent additional storage.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles with integrated storage, and the overall accommodation strikes an excellent balance between practicality and lifestyle appeal, equally suited as a main residence or high-quality coastal retreat.

Access to the property is via a characterful pathway and steps leading up from The Lugger, adding to the sense of seclusion and elevation. Importantly, Melilot also benefits from its own private parking space, a valuable and increasingly rare asset within the village.

Summary
Melilot is a discreet yet striking coastal home, combining privacy, practicality and some of the finest views available in Portscatho. With its elevated position, versatile accommodation, outside space and parking, it represents a compelling opportunity to secure a distinctive property in a highly sought-after waterfront location.
