This detached cottage sits in the centre of Mousehole, a historic fishing village on the south Cornwall coast, with sea views and a flower-filled front garden. Families and couples looking for a characterful coastal break will find rockpooling, crabbing, and harbour walks within the village itself. Mousehole's working harbour is framed by two sandy coves where rock pools scatter across the shore, and a bird sanctuary on the steep hillside above the village offers views back across the rooftops and out to sea. Cobbled streets wind between rows of fishermen's cottages, adding to the village's distinct character. Penzance, 3 miles away, has a seafront promenade and lido. At low tide, the causeway at Marazion leads across to St Michael's Mount, an island castle rising from the water. The clifftop Minack Theatre overlooks Porthcurno Beach further along the coast, where a picnic blanket and a long afternoon are well matched.
The ground floor living room has two three-seater sofas, a Smart TV, and an open fire, with views out to the garden. Double doors open through to the dining area, where a wooden table seats six beside an ornamental fireplace. Beyond the dining area, the kitchen is arranged around a central island. A conservatory with a rattan sofa and fairy lights connect the kitchen/diner, the ground floor shower room, and the rear garden. The ground floor shower room has a walk-in rainfall shower and WC. A utility room with a washing machine completes the ground floor. On the first floor, the master bedroom has a king-size bed, a vintage radio, and sea views. The second bedroom has a super-king-size zip-and-link bed that can be split into two singles, with views of the neighbouring apple tree. The third bedroom has twin beds and sea views. The first floor family bathroom has a shower over the bath and WC, also with sea views.
A landscaped garden to the front of the cottage is filled with flowers and has a patio with a dining table, seating for six, and a parasol for al fresco dining. A rear garden is accessible from the conservatory. A shed and a large woodstore stocked with logs for the open fire are also on site. An electric car charging point is available – the charge point is untethered, so a cable is required. Parking is available for two cars, one on the driveway and one in the garage.
