A rare period cottage on West Street with outstanding estuary views across to Fowey. The three-storey layout currently offers flexible accommodation — two ground-floor bedrooms (once used for guest lets), a central dining/kitchen level and a sitting room and conservatory enjoying the best of the water views. Chain free with vacant possession, this property suits someone looking to create a coastal holiday let, second home or character family retreat.
The cottage is sold as a renovation project. It has double glazing (fitted post-2002) but retains original granite walls with assumed no insulation, low ceilings and small rooms typical of older cottages. Heating is electric storage radiators and the property currently requires general modernisation throughout; none of the services or appliances have been tested. There is a flying freehold which may affect some mortgage offers — prospective buyers should check lending options early.
Location is a key strength: an easy level walk to the harbour, village beach, ferry to Fowey and everyday amenities. The immediate area is traffic-free and surrounded by National Trust coastline, making it appealing to visitors and owners who value coastal lifestyle. The garden is small and not owned by the property, so outdoor upkeep will be low but outdoor space is limited.
This is a straightforward, honest renovation brief — buy to refurbish, improve energy performance and layout, then enjoy coastal living or generate holiday income. Expect to budget for insulation, heating upgrades, kitchen and bathroom modernisation and potential mortgage-advice time due to the flying freehold.
