Situated in West Looe, this exceptional two bedroom inverted house offers a rare opportunity to enjoy panoramic views that stretch up and down the river, across the bustling harbour, the charming town, and out to the open sea. The property's unique three storey design maximises these stunning vistas, creating a light filled and airy living space that is both practical and inviting.
Approached via external stairs to the side, the top floor serves as the main living area. Here, you enter through a utility porch which provides a handy space for coats and boots, with doors leading both into the accommodation and out to the garden. The top floor is open plan and dual aspect, allowing natural light to flood in from both sides and framing breathtaking river views. To one side, the living room offers a cosy yet spacious area to relax and entertain, with ample room for seating arranged to take full advantage of the scenery. On the opposite side, the well fitted kitchen is equipped with modern appliances and generous work surfaces, perfect for preparing meals while still enjoying the vista. A small, convenient WC completes this level, alongside central stairs that lead down to the lower floor.
The lower floor houses two generous double bedrooms, each with its own en suite shower room, providing privacy and comfort for residents and guests alike. Both bedrooms benefit from the property's elevated position, with windows that capture views of the river and town, ensuring a tranquil and restful atmosphere. The en suites are well appointed, featuring contemporary fittings and tasteful tiling.
On the ground floor, there is a very useful store or workshop space, ideal for hobbies, storage, or as a practical utility area. This versatile room adds to the property's appeal, offering flexibility to suit a variety of needs and uses.
Outside, the rear garden is a true highlight. Fully decked and enclosed with railings to the front, it provides a safe and private outdoor space to enjoy the fresh sea air and sunshine. A large summer house sits at the far end of the garden, perfect for use as a home office, studio, or simply a peaceful retreat to take in the panoramic views over the river, harbour, and out to sea. The garden's elevated position ensures uninterrupted vistas, making it an idyllic spot for alfresco dining or relaxing with a book.
Additional benefits include a part covered parking space adjacent to the property, a much sought after commodity in this popular area of West Looe. The house is double glazed throughout and benefits from gas central heating, ensuring comfort and efficiency all year round. Its superb location places it within easy walking distance of all local amenities, including shops, cafes, and the beach, making it an ideal home for those seeking a blend of convenience and coastal charm.
Looe itself is a delightful Cornish town, renowned for its picturesque harbour, sandy beaches, and vibrant community. Visitors and residents alike enjoy a variety of activities, from exploring the quaint shops and galleries to sampling fresh seafood at the many harbourside restaurants. The town is also a gateway to beautiful coastal walks along the South West Coast Path, offering stunning views and opportunities to spot local wildlife. For those who enjoy water sports, the river and sea provide excellent conditions for sailing, kayaking, and fishing.
