Lantern Cottage is a traditional three-bedroom stone terrace set in the heart of Polruan, literally steps from the town quay. The house offers generous living rooms, period character with exposed beams, and a surprisingly large enclosed garden at the rear — rare for a property on Fore Street. A substantial cellar/workshop beneath the house adds practical storage or hobby space.
The accommodation is spacious throughout and ready for a new owner to personalise. There is obvious potential to create extra living space by converting the attic (subject to permissions). Practical extras include paved courtyard, useful outhouses with plumbing, and mature garden planting that provides privacy once cleared and tended.
Buyers should note this is an older, uninsulated granite-built cottage and will benefit from energy-efficiency upgrades. Heating is reported as electric storage heaters in the main data, while the full brochure also refers to oil central heating — buyers should verify current systems. Broadband is average and the area is described as relatively deprived, which may affect services and resale expectations.
Chain-free and offered freehold with an EPC rating of C and Council Tax Band D, this property suits someone seeking a character home in a coastal village who is happy to invest in sympathetic updating. It will particularly appeal to downsizers or weekend retreat buyers wanting a central location with easy access to ferry links and local amenities.
