Property code: OC-B643772

This detached four-bedroom retreat overlooks the fishing village of Mousehole, with views stretching across Mounts Bay to St Michael's Mount. Suited to families and groups of friends, it provides a coastal base with Cornish history and tradition on its doorstep. Mousehole's working harbour, two sandy coves, and cobbled streets spread out below, home to local shops, cafes, and galleries. Rockpools line the shoreline, and a bird sanctuary sits on the hillside above the village. The harbour still hosts fishing boats bringing in the day's catch, and each December, the village comes alive with its celebrated Christmas light display. At low tide, the causeway at Marazion (10.5 miles) leads across to St Michael's Mount, while Porthcurno Beach and the Minack Theatre (both 8.5 miles) are both within reach along the south coast. Penzance, with its promenade, lido, and shops, is 4 miles away.

The ground floor opens into a cosy sitting room with comfortable sofas and a wood burner, looking out across the bay. An open-plan dining and kitchen space connects through from here, with bi-fold doors framing the sea views and a table seating eight. A large kitchen island with stools adds further workspace, while a separate utility room sits to the rear. Also on the ground floor is a fourth bedroom with cabin-style bunk beds and its own en-suite WC. Stairs lead up to the first floor, where the master bedroom faces the ocean with a super-king-size bed and an en-suite shower room with a walk-in shower and WC. The second bedroom mirrors the master – same sea views, super-king-size bed, and en-suite shower room with walk-in shower and WC. A third bedroom has twin beds and a built-in wardrobe. The first-floor family bathroom has a shower over the bath and a WC.

The garden includes a wooden deck with four sun loungers and a paved patio with a round table seating eight for al fresco dining. A reading room sits within the garden, and a tree-shaded lawn extends to the side of the property on several levels. The two allocated parking spaces are in a car park on the lane below, reached via narrow paths and two sets of steep steps.
