2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Large project walking distance to harbour and coastal paths.
Large three-storey cottage with traditional period features
Set in the heart of historic Polperro, Oversteps is a characterful three-storey cottage offering genuine village living a short walk from the harbour and coastal paths. The house retains traditional features—exposed beams, a mahogany fireplace and stone cottage character—and includes a generous enclosed rear garden, a rare asset for this location. Presented with no onward chain, the property is large for a village cottage and offers flexible layouts to suit family living or holiday use.
The accommodation currently spans ground-floor kitchen and reception spaces (previously a self-contained unit), a middle dining room, lounge and bathroom, plus two double bedrooms on the top floor. The ground floor could be reinstated as a separate unit for multi-generational living or holiday-let potential, subject to any required consents. Practical features include mains services, wooden windows, and electric storage heating with immersion hot water.
Material points to note: the property needs renovation and updating throughout, including modern heating and likely interior refurbishment. Parking is on-street only and there is limited external storage beyond the workshop. Flooding information is mixed in the paperwork—local sources identify a medium flood risk—so buyers should seek up-to-date flood reports and insurance quotes. The area has low crime and good local amenities, but the neighbourhood is a small, ageing rural community with average mobile and broadband performance.
For those looking for a project in a sought-after Cornish fishing village, Oversteps delivers scale, character and flexibility. It will suit buyers wanting a seaside base to renovate and personalise, downsizers seeking a village home close to amenities, or investors open to holiday letting after obtaining any necessary permissions.
