The Old Rectory Apartments occupy a privileged elevated location, facing out over Polperro harbour towards open sea, in addition to wonderful views over the bustling village and countryside beyond. Situated off Talland Hill on the eastern side of the village, each of the apartments enjoys the delightful views to the south. The availability of The Old Rectory Apartments is an exceedingly rare opportunity to acquire a home and income. At the time of writing the three upper most apartments are let on assured shorthold tenancies, whilst the one bedroomed lower ground floor Bosun’s Retreat (still with excellent sea views) and Captain’s Rest are vacant. Captain’s Rest is the largest and most impressive apartment within the building by some margin, as it has been created from the amalgamation of two already generous apartments, forming a 1,400sq.ft. 4 bedroomed, 3 bathroomed apartment covering the entirety of the ground floor. This would make an ideal owners home or would be coveted by the upper section of the residential or holiday lettings market. The apartments all have full residential consents and there is great scope for profit from individual resales subject to any necessary alterations and consents. The building has been cared for under its present ownership and is well presented with neutral decoration and modern facilities throughout, blending well with the high ceilings and large windows which create a grand feel. LOCATION Polperro is one of the most picturesque and unspoilt Cornish fishing villages with its 4 Ref: LCAA5001 narrow streets of fisherman’s cottages, shops, galleries, restaurants and inns, clustered around the delightful working harbour which is still home to a thriving fishing fleet. Large areas of the beautiful unspoilt surrounding valley and coastline are in the ownership of the National Trust. Polperro has long been coveted as a holiday destination, with its temperate climate and proximity to the South Devon coast, this is an area in increasing demand. Polperro provides an excellent array of small shops, sufficient for day to day needs, whilst the larger town of Looe, to the east, provides a wider range of shopping, leisure and commercial facilities. To the north, Liskeard also provides a wide range of high street and local shops, together with supermarkets and a wider array of leisure and commercial facilities, including a main line railway station (with branch line to Looe). From Liskeard the A38 remains largely dual carriageway, providing a link via Plymouth to Exeter and onward to the M5 and beyond. 5 Ref: LCAA5001 THE ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES (all floor plans and dimensions are approximate) LOWER GROUND FLOOR BOSUN’S RETREAT ENTRANCE HALL.
