Nestled discreetly away from the bustle of the main road, this charming traditional character cottage in West Looe offers a rare opportunity to acquire a delightful Cornish retreat. Accessed via a covered passageway, the property enjoys a sense of privacy and seclusion, making it an ideal holiday home or investment. Currently operated as a successful holiday let, the cottage is offered fully furnished and equipped as seen, with the added benefit of any existing bookings at the point of completion, providing immediate income potential.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors, combining period charm with practical living spaces. Entering through a stable door on the ground floor, you step into a small hall where stairs ascend to the first floor. To one side lies the kitchen diner, a cosy and functional space perfect for preparing meals and enjoying casual dining. Opposite, the sitting room is a true highlight, featuring a superb stone and brick fireplace with an inset multi-fuel burner, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere during the cooler months. The room's sash window allows natural light to flood in, enhancing the character and charm of the space.
Upstairs, the first floor comprises two comfortable double bedrooms, each benefiting from the characterful sash windows that frame views of the surrounding area. Between the bedrooms is a central shower room, cleverly designed with Jack and Jill doors providing direct access from both rooms, offering convenience and privacy. The property is heated by independent electric heaters, ensuring comfort throughout the year without compromising its traditional appeal.
This cottage perfectly blends period features with modern comforts, making it a quintessential Cornish home. Its tucked-away position in West Looe means it is peaceful yet within easy reach of the town's amenities and stunning coastline.
Looe itself is a charming fishing town renowned for its picturesque harbour, sandy beach, and vibrant community. Visitors and residents alike enjoy exploring the quaint shops, traditional pubs, and excellent restaurants. Outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of coastal walks along the South West Coast Path, boat trips, and water sports, while the nearby countryside offers opportunities for cycling and countryside strolls.
