This compact two-bedroom Georgian cottage sits just steps from Port Isaac’s harbour, offering a cosy coastal bolthole with genuine character. The reverse-living layout places a vaulted, open-plan kitchen/living/dining room on the upper floor, where exposed stonework and village views create an airy living space. Two ground-floor double bedrooms face a private patio garden with an established apple tree and external storage.
The property is Grade II listed and currently requires renovation; the listed status will affect any alterations and may complicate modernisation. There is a high flood risk for the area, and heating is via electric night storage heaters — important practical considerations for long-term living or letting. The overall footprint is small (approximately 493 sq ft), so storage and layout tightness should be expected.
For downsizers or buyers seeking a character coastal retreat, the cottage’s location is a major draw: everything is within walking distance, including the harbour, eateries, the Southwest Coast Path and local shops. Services are mains water, electricity and drainage, and the property is freehold. Its current use as a holiday home demonstrates strong short-stay appeal, but renovation and flood mitigation work will be needed to maximise year-round comfort and value.
Those wanting a finished turnkey home should expect renovation work and planning considerations due to listing and flood exposure. Buyers looking to create a bespoke coastal bolt-hole — sensitive restoration, improved heating and possible flood resilience measures — will find solid potential in a quintessential Port Isaac address.
