Summary - 14 The Quay, Polruan PL23 1PA
2 bed 2 bath House
Picturesque two-bedroom quay cottage with estuary views and refurbishment potential.
Fabulous estuary and Fowey views from sitting room and main bedroom
Set directly on Polruan Quay, this compact two-bedroom cottage delivers exceptional estuary and Fowey views from the sitting room and principal bedroom. The house is arranged over four floors, including an attic bedroom with restricted headroom and a large Velux that frames elevated water vistas. Vacant possession and sold fully furnished make it straightforward to occupy or let quickly.
The property has genuine character — beamed ceilings, exposed granite walls and traditional slate roof — but it requires modernisation throughout. Heating is by electric storage heaters, glazing is older double-glazed units and the fabric (granite walls) likely lacks modern insulation. The EPC rating is F and the cottage will benefit from upgrading to improve comfort and running costs.
Practical considerations: the cottage is freehold, council tax band C and has no flood risk. There is a partial flying freehold over the utility room; potential buyers who need a mortgage should check lender acceptability. Broadband is slow in the area and the plot is small, so this is best suited to someone prioritising location and views over large outside space.
For a downsizer or buyer seeking a seaside bolt-hole, this property offers rare quay-side living and scope to add value with sympathetic refurbishment. It will also interest investors wanting a furnished holiday or long-let, subject to energy improvements and lender checks.
