Osprey – For sale Freehold Osprey is, without doubt, one of the most significant properties in the popular waterfront village of Polperro. The property is approached from a lane that avoids driving through the village itself and, significantly, the property owns a double garage and additional parking on the forecourt a few yards up the lane. In addition, the property also has a right of access from the bottom of the garden down a short flight of steps into the heart of the village itself, by the harbour wall.

The property enjoys truly spectacular and south facing panoramic views overlooking Polperro Harbour and out to sea. The whole village is set within both an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and a Conservation Area.

Osprey was built in about 1840 by a grandson of the Rev Sir Harry Trelawny of Trelawne. During the latter stages of the 20th century Osprey provided the location for the village surgery and doctors. Now it is a fabulous family home with flexible accommodation consisting of a five bedroom house with a two bedroom self- contained annexe, The Peek, on the second floor. Both Osprey and The Peek have an internal inter-connecting door and both have their own separate front doors.

This includes re- plastering, new bathrooms throughout, re-plumbing, a new conservatory and substantial improvements to the interior décor and also the garden. The majority of the windows are either double-glazed or have secondary glazing and there is a new boiler that could be fitted for solar panels.
