Summary - Albatross Cottages, Churchend, Looe, PL13 PL13 1BX
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Charming two-bedroom period cottage with harbour views, ideal for holiday income.
Two bedrooms across three floors, compact and efficiently arranged
Recently renovated interiors with exposed beams and wood-burning stove
Harbour and sea/beach views from principal rooms
Double glazed windows fitted after 2002 for better insulation
High flood risk — potential insurance and letting implications
No garden; very small plot and minimal outdoor space
Electric room heaters only — no central heating installed
Freehold tenure and very low council tax, good running-cost advantage
Set just above Looe’s working harbour, this compact two-bedroom terraced cottage has been sympathetically renovated to blend period character with contemporary comfort. Exposed stone, timber beams and a wood-burning stove create an atmospheric living space, while windows frame river and beach views that will appeal to holiday visitors and short-stay guests.
The property is small and efficient across three floors, making it well suited to a holiday-let, pied-à-terre or a couple seeking a low-maintenance coastal base. Renovation work appears recent and double glazing has been fitted; the home is offered freehold and council tax is very low, helping running costs for an investor or second‑home owner.
Buyers should note material practicalities: heating relies on electric room heaters rather than central heating, and the house sits in a high flood‑risk area. There is no usable garden and the plot is very small, so outdoor space is limited. Flood risk may influence insurance and lettings at peak season and requires informed budgeting.
For those targeting seaside income or a charming Cornish retreat, the cottage’s location, characterful finishes and harbour/sea outlook are strong draws. If you need a larger family home or extensive outdoor space, this compact property will feel constrained.
