Set on the seaward side of Long Rock, this mid-terrace cottage offers genuine coastal appeal with an uninterrupted view of Mount’s Bay from an upper bedroom. The layout spans two principal floors plus attic rooflights and provides flexible family living: lounge, dining room, sunroom, fitted kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom. Off-street parking, front and rear gardens and a useful workshop add practical space for storage and outdoor life.
The property retains period character in its granite/stone elevations and cottage proportions, but it is lived-in and would benefit from modernisation throughout. Double glazing is mostly installed, ceilings are relatively low and the external walls appear uninsulated, which alongside an EPC rating of E (53) suggests scope to improve energy efficiency and reduce running costs. Heating is by an oil-fired boiler (not community supply).
Location is a key strength: short walks to beaches, local shops and bus links, with Penzance about two miles away for broader services and rail connections. Flood risk is very low and mobile signal is excellent; broadband speeds are average. The village setting suits buyers wanting seaside access without town congestion, though the area is described as ageing and has pockets of deprivation.
This home will suit a family or purchaser seeking a character cottage with sea views and parking who is prepared to update finishes and improve energy performance. Its size (approx 1,013 sq ft), freehold tenure and sensible council tax level add practical appeal for a long-term owner-occupier or a buyer targeting sympathetic refurbishment.
