Mevagissey, Cornwall, PL26

We are delighted to receive instructions to sell this spacious and beautifully presented Grade II listed, two bedroom double fronted period cottage that is enviably positioned just above and within a stones throw of the harbour. The cottage is a real credit to its owners who have updated the property and meticulously maintained it over time with no expense spared to create this stunning property that is as impressive outside as inside and the cottage even boasts a re-roofed slate roof.

The cottage is one of the rare few in this prestigious location, so close to the harbour, to have its own garden that has been beautifully landscaped, as well as having lovely harbour views, views of Chapel Point and views out to sea from the top part of the garden.

The property is currently used as a holiday home that generates a good income and is being sold with contents available (Subject to negotiation) so that a buyer can continue to use the property as a holiday home and continue holiday letting the property. Further information available on request.

The second bedroom has oak style flooring, painted beamed ceiling and the window to the front elevation has sea glimpses on one side.

The family shower room has been beautifully updated giving a contemporary feel with the stylish combination of the slate tiled flooring that has under floor heating, the W/C has a concealed cistern with contrasting cream coloured stone effect tiled surround with Grohe chrome effect push button flush. A circular porcelain style sink sits on a slate tiled ledge with a feature wall mounted chrome effect mixer tap above and there is a display ledge over with fitted timber top and a fitted wall to wall demister mirror above. The walk in shower with its glazed side shower screen has a feature flat pebble style crazy paved slate floor with feature hand made style wall tiles and there is a wall mounted shower and a Grohe overhead rainwater style shower head.

The kitchen/ dining room retains so much charm and character with its painted beamed and panelled ceiling, deep window recesses due to the thickness of the walls with timber sill/ window seat and other similar depth window recesses with slate sills and all with lovely old and exposed timber lintels above. From the kitchen/ dining room there are fantastic views looking across the harbour towards the aquarium, along the outer harbour towards Chapel Point and out to sea. There are also glimpses on one side of the lighthouse and the harbour wall. A cottage style glazed stable door with exposed old timber lintel over leads to the rear garden.

From the kitchen/ dining room, there is an open aspect and walkway to the defined double aspect lounge that has such a lovely feel that you would expect to have from a character cottage of this period. There are the traditional exposed and painted ceiling beams with painted timber panelling above, timber deep sills similar to in the kitchen/dining room with exposed old timber lintels above. From a strategically placed chair beside the front window there are lovely views across the inner harbour looking towards the Quay, views of the fishing boats as they come and go as well as village and field views beyond. There is a lovely cottage fireplace with a cream wood burner set onto a slate hearth with an exposed feature old timber lintel above and there is fitted shelving in the recesses on either side.

The rear garden has been sympathetically and beautifully landscaped by the current owners to create two main level garden areas that consist of the immediate porcelain style paved sitting out area with outside lighting and space at one end for a garden shed. There is an outside tap and power, access to an open fronted under deck area that makes an ideal log store and slate steps with timber and rope balustrade lead to the main sitting out area that comprises a contemporary style composite decked area with contoured glass balustrade on three sides with a garden wall on the side boundary and a green banked area behind the deck.
From the entrance to the deck, cottage style sleeper and shingle steps meander up to an area with room to perch with a gin and tonic and take in the elevated views out across the harbour, of the fishing boats as they come and go and of ChapelPoint beyond and out to sea. There are also lovely village and rural views. From this part of the garden is gated access that leads out and joins the coastal path.
