This converted late‑19th‑century Sunday school is a striking period cottage at the edge of Mevagissey’s village fringe. Cornish stone elevations, gothic mullioned windows, vaulted timber beams and ornate internal detailing give the house genuine character and an impressive ‘wow’ interior. The large, west‑facing lawn, Mediterranean side terrace, gazebo entertaining area and thatched cabana create generous outdoor living and good parking for multiple cars.
Internally the layout feels characterful and comfortable: a long hallway, generous lounge with wood burner, a spacious garden room with lanterns, four double bedrooms (two ground floor), and three bathrooms. Practical modern upgrades include underfloor heating in several rooms, double glazing (post‑2002) and solar panels; the property benefits from private borehole water and a private treatment plant which removes water bills. The house previously traded successfully as a holiday let, showing clear income potential if desired.
Buyers should note the property’s size and running considerations: total internal floor area is compact at 829 sq ft for four bedrooms, and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, which can affect heating costs despite solar panels and oil central heating. Broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is above average; EPC currently listed as D. The layout and plot, however, offer scope for sympathetic improvement and potential to increase energy efficiency.
This home will most appeal to buyers seeking a distinctive, characterful residence with substantial gardens and parking, who are comfortable with period fabric and some retrofit work to improve thermal performance and digital connectivity. For those wanting a second home or holiday income, the previous gross lettings indicate solid potential.
