Set in the sought-after Cornish fishing village of Porthleven, this two-bedroom stone terraced cottage offers authentic period character and a compact, manageable footprint. Exposed beams, a feature stone fireplace with a woodburner and traditional sash-style windows create a cosy cottage feel. Central heating is installed, and the property is freehold with low council tax (Band B).
The accommodation is arranged over two storeys with a lounge, kitchen, small utility room, bathroom and two bedrooms. Rooms are compact—typical of cottages of this age—and the house would benefit from updating throughout to realise its full potential. The rear courtyard is small but private and includes a useful outbuilding/shed on adjacent land historically used by the property.
Practical considerations: the property sits directly onto the pavement with limited on-street parking, lies within a conservation area (restrictions may apply), and broadband speeds are reported slow. There is no flood risk and the area has low crime, but the local neighbourhood shows signs of economic deprivation. This is a good opportunity for a first-time buyer or small household seeking an affordable, characterful home in a lively coastal village, or for someone willing to refurbish for holiday-let potential.
