Summary - SMUGGLERS COTTAGE QUAY ROAD POLPERRO LOOE PL13 2QZ
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Two-bedroom listed bolthole with character and direct water views, offered chain free.
Direct inner-harbour views from the front step
Smugglers Cottage is a compact, Grade II listed two-bedroom home set on the Quay in Polperro, offering direct views over the inner harbour. The property dates from the 1700s and retains abundant character: exposed beams, whitewashed granite walls, multi-pane windows and a cosy lounge/diner with a multi-fuel stove. Its elevated quay position allows daily harbour life to be enjoyed from the front step.
This is a small property with clearly defined constraints. The cottage has single glazed windows, night storage heating, an EPC rating of F23 and granite walls likely without insulation. As a listed building in an AONB and conservation area, alterations will be restricted and may be costly. There is no on-site parking and the outside space is a very small front area only; private village parking can be rented nearby.
For buyers seeking a low-maintenance, character-filled retreat or a lock-up-and-leave second home, the cottage is ready to occupy and is offered chain free. Those looking for a larger family home or an easy renovation project should note the planning and listing constraints, the modest footprint (592 sq ft) and energy performance issues. Flood risk is low and the cottage is elevated above the inner harbour, with the current owner reporting no flooding in the last five years.
