Full Details for 2 Bedroom Terraced for sale in Penzance, TR19 :
An absolutely delightful and charming, Grade II Listed, two bedroom former 'Fisherman's Cottage', in one of Mousehole's most premier locations, set in a frontline position with glorious sea views over to Mounts Bay.
Believed to be the home of Sir Caspar John, who was the second son of Augustas John - the artist , who was the first Sea-Lord of the admiralty and chief of Naval Staff.
This stone fronted cottage is set over three floors and has an abundance of character and charm running throughout. Located on the ground floor is the kitchen/diner, which features exposed timber beams and a charming Rayburn, whilst there are outstanding views through the delightful sash windows out to sea. Further accommodation on the ground floor extends to include a utility room come workshop.
The first floor accommodation includes a substantial sitting room measuring in excess of 22' in length. This room has the most amazing views out across the English Channel towards Mounts Bay and features an open fireplace set in a granite surround. There is an external door from this room, which leads to the rear terrace area, which is owned by Higher Saltponds and in turn, provides access to the rear service lane. Along the terrace, there is a pretty rear courtyard area with secure block built store and adjoining this is a separate WC.
The two bedrooms and family bathroom are located on the second floor of this charming cottage. The master bedroom itself is located at the front of the property and provides the most mesmerising views of the ocean. There is a further useful space on the landing, which could be used for further sleeping accommodation or a study area. The window here also faces the sea and naturally, the views are also amazing.
Externally to the front of the property, there is a very pleasant and quaint stone walled garden with commanding and uninterrupted views over the foreshore, coastline and bay.
The current vendors have informed us that they have virtually re-built the property some 25 years ago when they purchased it and completed it to a very high standard throughout.
All in all, the property has all the charm and character one would expect from a property in this location, enjoys the most outstanding sea views from its frontline position and according to none other than Dylan Thomas, is located in " the loveliest village in England".

Location | The quaint and historic harbourside community of Mousehole, has a unique and somewhat timeless character, largely unchanged over the years. The granite and slate architecture, set around a picturesque harbour all epitomising the Cornish coastal village. Known far and wide for its display of Christmas lights, it has seen much history, both tragic and joyful and was the only place where the Spanish made a landing centuries ago. The nearby colourful town of Penzance provides more extensive shopping and commercial facilities, together with regular flights to the Scilly Isles and a main line rail connection with London Paddington. |
Services | The following services are available: Mains electricity, mains water supply, mains drainage and telephone connection, although we have not verified connection. |
Directions | Once in the southern end car park at the harbour in Mousehole, walk up Gurnick Street. As the road bears to the right, you will see the footpath heading in front of the frontline cottages. Follow this footpath and you will find Higher Saltponds on your right, after approximately 50 metres. |
