Architectural design & build in Porthleven

Porthleven is the most southerly port on mainland Britain, AONB-designated, with a working harbour, dramatic winter swell and a terraced cliff-edge of Victorian cottages. Porthleven Conservation Area covers the harbour and most residential streets; AONB designation extends across the whole parish. Coastal exposure and views from the South West Coast Path are routine planning considerations.
