Nestled in the heart of the picturesque fishing village of Polperro, this delightful one bedroom cottage offers a charming retreat just moments from the harbour and local amenities. Perfectly suited as a holiday let, main residence, or second home, this period property combines traditional character with the potential for modern enhancement, all set within a sought after seaside location.

Accessed via a set of steps from road level, the cottage is arranged on a single floor, providing ease of living and a cosy atmosphere. Upon entering, you are welcomed into a bright and inviting lounge, where front facing windows flood the room with natural light and offer glimpses of the village's quaint rooftops. The lounge flows seamlessly into a galley kitchen, creating a practical and sociable space for cooking and relaxing. From here, doors lead to the double bedroom, a peaceful sanctuary with ample space for rest and relaxation. A step down from the kitchen leads to the fully tiled bathroom, which features a bath with an overhead shower, combining convenience with comfort.

One of the standout features of this property is the raised patio garden, a tranquil outdoor space that enjoys elevated views over the rooftops and a partial sea view beyond. This area is perfect for al fresco dining, morning coffee, or simply soaking up the fresh coastal air. Additionally, there is an outbuilding with fantastic potential for a variety of uses, subject to the necessary consents. Whether you envision a studio, workshop, or additional storage, this versatile space adds considerable appeal.

The cottage benefits from electric storage heaters, ensuring warmth throughout the cooler months, and retains much of its period charm, making it a quintessential Cornish home. The asking price reflects the opportunity for improvement, allowing the new owner to personalise and enhance the property to their taste.

Polperro is a picturesque Cornish fishing village known for its charming harbour, narrow streets, independent shops, galleries, and fresh seafood. Surrounded by stunning coastal scenery, it offers excellent walking along the South West Coast Path, as well as swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding.
