Set over three floors with panoramic sea, harbour and town views, this Victorian mid-terrace offers a practical family layout and private gated parking. The house was extensively renovated around 2000 with new plumbing, electrics, tanking and a new roof, and benefits from gas central heating and UPVC double glazing throughout. Light-filled rooms and period features such as an inglenook with a gas stove add character alongside modern conveniences.
The ground floor provides a fitted kitchen-diner with access to a south-facing courtyard garden and the gated parking space — a useful asset in a town location. The first-floor lounge takes full advantage of the outlook, while the second floor houses three bedrooms, with the principal bedroom and landing enjoying long sea views from Penlee Point to The Lizard.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold, of average overall size (approximately 849 sq ft), and has a single family bathroom. The small plot and courtyard-style garden suit alfresco dining but offer limited lawn space. Built of granite or whinstone with likely no wall insulation, the house may present opportunities for targeted energy improvements.
Location is a real strength for families: short walks to supermarkets, the train and bus stations, plus several well-rated primary and secondary schools. Buyers should note the wider area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime statistics — important factors for budgeting, insurance and long-term plans. This home suits buyers seeking a character-filled, seaside family house with parking and excellent transport links, and who are comfortable with a compact garden and local area challenges.
