Set on the top floor of Stanley House, this three-bedroom flat combines historic character with practical renovation work already completed. The property has generous living space (approx. 1,143 sq ft) including a large open-plan kitchen/dining room and a separate sitting room that enjoys pretty harbour and sea views. Recent remedial works include new double-glazed sash windows, lime render and internal plastering, plus redecoration — making the flat ready to occupy or re-let with minimal immediate expense.
Previously a successful holiday let, the layout and location suit short-term rental or second-home use: it’s elevated above Port Isaac with easy walking access to the harbour, restaurants and pubs. The building’s period features — high ceilings, wood floors, exposed beams and an original warehouse door — add charm that guests and holidaymakers value.
There are some important practical considerations. Heating is electric wall-mounted panels and room heaters only, and the granite walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so running costs may be higher than modern insulated properties. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, which could affect longer-term remote-working tenants. The property is accessed via a shared courtyard and an external metal staircase to the top floor, which may suit holiday tenants but less so for those seeking level access.
Flood risk is high in this area; buyers should factor in insurance and any protective measures. The flat is leasehold with a long lease (965 years remaining). Overall, this bright, characterful top flat is well placed for coastal holiday income or as a compact, scenic seaside home — provided you accept higher energy costs, external access and the location’s flood considerations.
