Take a 20 minute stroll from the relative hustle and bustle of St. Mary’s harbour and its main street and either by road or by the beach path you will reach Thomas Porth – a quiet stretch of beach nestled between the rocks of Newfort Island and Harrys Walls. Here you will find a hamlet of eight houses. Beachfield House itself is situated where the approach single track roadway stops and only a footpath from then on links the area with the next beach. Facing Thomas Porth with views across the water to St. Mary’s Harbour only adds to the idyllic position chosen for Beachfield House.
Beachfield House was built in 1901 as a Gentleman’s Residence and constructed of granite walls surmounted by a hipped slated roof. Later additions and alterations include dormer windows to the front and rear, single storey rear and side extension to provide self contained owners accommodation and enlarged utility space and the installation of en-suite facilities in every bedroom.
Over the years the house has been used for multiple purposes and would suit any of them today vis- private dwelling house – Guest House – and finally as it is today – a house in multiple occupation providing a healthy monthly income.
Outside, the house stands back from it’s own foregarden whilst at the rear is a mature garden bounded by trees and shrubs. There is a pond, garden feature and patio.
An added feature must be the presence of a separately let one bedroom self contained chalet. Although at present of non standard construction it does however benefit of its own listing by the local authority as a stand alone unit with potential for development subject to the usual planning procedures.
