Walk to harbour, beaches and village amenities in minutes.
Grade II listed — alterations may be restricted and costlier
A charming Grade II listed Cornish cottage in Charlestown, this mid-terrace home blends period character with sympathetic modern updates. The property sits a five-minute walk from the harbour, beaches, restaurants and shops, offering an enviable seaside lifestyle and broad appeal for families, second-home buyers or holiday-let use.
Inside, the cottage feels deceptively spacious with two reception rooms, a modern kitchen, utility room, three double bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an en-suite to the principal bedroom. Traditional features — exposed beams, parquet and floorboards, a log burner and sash windows to the front — are matched by contemporary touches in the kitchen and bathrooms. The rear landscaped garden, raised terraces and pergola create attractive outdoor entertaining space with a built-in pizza oven and views toward the church.
Practical points to note: the house is Grade II listed which may restrict alterations and cause additional costs or delays for works. The front walls are original granite with no assumed insulation, and some front windows are single-pane sashes, which affect thermal performance despite gas central heating and partial double glazing. There is no private parking; on-street parking is available.
Set in a very low-crime, affluent area with fast broadband and good local schools, the cottage offers strong lifestyle value and rental potential in a popular Cornish harbour village. Buyers should factor listed-building considerations and possible insulation improvements into budgets and plans.
