This four-bedroom retreat is perched above the Cornish fishing village of Mousehole, making it ideal for a memorable trip with family or friends. The gorgeous detached home boasts sweeping views across Mount’s Bay to St Michael’s Mount, setting the scene for a break filled with Cornish character and coastal charm. It’s in a convenient central location, too, with Mousehole’s shops, restaurant and sandy beach within 250 metres.
On the ground floor of this welcoming property is a cosy sitting room with comfortable sofas, a wood burner and a beautiful outlook across the bay. From here, continue into the open-plan kitchen and dining space, which has bi-fold doors framing the scenery and a table seating eight. A large kitchen island with stools gives you plenty of space for relaxing with a drink and food prep, and there’s a separate utility room positioned at the rear. One of the bedrooms is on this level: a bunk room with cabin-style beds and an en-suite WC. Upstairs are two ocean-facing super-king-size bedrooms, each with an en-suite shower room featuring a walk-in shower and WC, plus a comfy twin bedroom. This is served by a family bathroom with a shower over the bath and a WC. You’ll have plenty of space to relax outside, with a wooden deck furnished with sun loungers and a paved patio with an eight-seater table for al fresco dining. Beside the property, there’s also a garden reading room and a tree-shaded lawn arranged across several levels beside the property. Two parking spaces are allocated to you in a car park on the lane below, accessed via narrow paths and two sets of steep steps.
Mousehole has a working harbour, two sandy coves and cobbled streets dotted with cafes and galleries. Search for marine life in the shoreline rockpools and watch fishing boats return with the day’s catch. At low tide, follow the causeway from Marazion (10.5 miles) to St Michael’s Mount, or spend a day at Porthcurno Beach and the spectacular Minack Theatre (both 8.5 miles). Penzance (4 miles) is another tempting destination, with its promenade, lido and shops.
