Perched on the western side of Downderry, this four-bedroom detached house delivers panoramic coastal views from the conservatory and front rooms. The elevated aspect captures sea vistas across to Looe Island and Rame Head, making the property’s outlook its strongest asset. There is off-street parking directly in front and additional parking opposite the road.
The house requires extensive modernisation throughout and is being sold as a renovation project. Notable issues include evidence of a past fire in the kitchen, dated 1970s finishes in parts of the living accommodation, and uncertainty over the cellar boiler’s working condition. The property currently has one shower room and one bathroom, which may be limiting for a four-bedroom home without improvement.
There is development potential: lapsed planning permission exists for a first-floor extension (PA20/03338), which could be refreshed subject to consent. The plot features terraced front and side gardens with mature shrubs and a conservatory running the full width of the house — excellent for enjoying the views. Practical benefits include double glazing, central heating, and fast broadband speeds.
This property suits buyers seeking a character coastal home to remodel or developers wanting a seafront renovation with potential to add value. Be prepared for significant updating, remedial works where the fire affected the kitchen, and to resolve planning if extending the accommodation.
