Character cottage with parking, studio and sea glimpses in Portloe.
Grade II listed Cornish fisherman’s cottage with retained period features
Quarry Cottage is a detached Grade II listed Cornish fisherman’s cottage tucked above Portloe harbour, offered chain free. The house retains beamed ceilings, multi‑paned windows, an open stone fireplace and a long dual‑aspect kitchen/dining room. A raised sun terrace to the rear provides attractive sea glimpses and sheltered outdoor space.
Practical strengths include ample off‑street parking, a useful studio/garage ideal for a home office or workshop, and a large plot with terraced garden areas. The property is presented to a good standard throughout with a newly appointed bathroom and a separate shower room on the first floor. Mains services are connected and oil‑fired central heating serves the house.
Important practical considerations: the building is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and could complicate maintenance or extensions. The cottage sits on the edge of a former quarry and the quarry owner retains access across the driveway. Heating runs on an oil boiler and the electrical and heating circuits have not been tested. There is a medium flooding risk and Council Tax is in a high band (Band F), which should be factored into running costs.
This home will suit buyers who value historic character, coastal situation and a private, tucked‑away setting rather than those seeking a low‑maintenance modern property. It offers immediate occupation with scope for sympathetic updating and potential to enhance the studio/outbuilding. Viewing is recommended for anyone seeking a classic Cornish cottage with parking and sea aspects in one of the Roseland’s most sought‑after villages.
