Nestled in a sheltered corner on the Quay at Polperro, this enchanting Grade II listed 2 bedroom character cottage overlooks the harbour and is ideally placed to take in village life and to watch the daily comings and goings in the Harbour. Polperro is a mystical village on the South East Coast of Cornwall famous for its tales of smuggling and associated folk lore. Its narrow winding streets are filled with delightful cottages, small shops, restaurants and Inns all of which are easily accessible from the cottage.
Believed to date back to the 1700's when it is thought to have formed part of a larger dwelling, Smugglers Cottage is a two bedroom property that still retains much of its original charm and character by way of white washed stone walls, exposed timbers and floor boards, numerous recesses and niches and attractive multi pane windows, all of which when combined with the location make this a truly unique property.
The lounge/diner is a cosy space with a wood burning stove, perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the village. The kitchen is simple but charming with everything you need to prepare meals using the fresh local produce available in the village. The bedrooms are both comfortable and inviting, with exposed beams and wooden floors adding to the character of the property. The shower room is off the landing with a walk in shower, wc and wash basin.
The harbourside location of this property is truly special. From the cottage, you can watch the boats come and go, and take in the stunning views of the harbour. The Quay and small harbour are absolutely delightful and the subject of many a holiday photograph, postcard and numerous books.
For those who enjoy the great outdoors, there are plenty of opportunities for walking and hiking in the surrounding countryside. The South West Coast Path runs through the village, offering stunning views of the coastline. There are also a number of beaches within easy reach of the village, including the beautiful Lantic Bay. Foodies will love Polperro, with its range of restaurants and cafes serving up delicious local cuisine. The Blue Peter Inn is a popular choice, with its cosy atmosphere and excellent seafood.
In summary, Smugglers Cottage is a truly unique property in a stunning location. With its characterful features and harbourside position, it is the perfect base from which to explore the village and surrounding area. Whether you are interested in history, art, food or the great outdoors, Polperro has something to offer everyone.
