A well situated detached 3/4 bedroomed chalet style house believed to have been built in the early 1950’s and latterly redesigned and refurbished by the current owners, now presented in very good decorative order throughout with modern kitchen and bathrooms and tasteful neutral decorations.

The reception areas are light and spacious, situated at the rear of the property enjoying lovely views over the garden to the sea. Both the sitting room and dining room have double glazed doors into a large conservatory which 3 Ref: LCAA6722 runs along the back of the property overlooking the garden. The sitting room has a lovely feature freestanding modern woodburning stove on a glass hearth and there is a long, well fitted galley style kitchen/breakfast room with a breakfast bar at one end.

On the first floor are two large double bedrooms, both of which have dormered bay windows providing lovely views over gardens to the sea and coastline beyond and there is a well fitted family bathroom with a white suite to service both bedrooms.

The property benefits from double glazed windows and doors all round, oil fired central heating and attractive Karndean tiled flooring throughout the entrance hall, sitting room and dining room. The property is set within generous gardens with lawned front garden to the side of an asphalted driveway which provides off-road parking for two vehicles and access to a single attached garage with eaves storage space, power and light. There are paths on either side of the property to the rear with a large rear garden in two tiers, mainly lawned with a concreted patio area adjacent to the house, providing views of the sea. The lower tier of lawn has a vegetable garden on one side and a large modern metal profiled garden shed. The boundaries are of mature shrubs and hedging and provide an excellent screen and privacy.

LOCATION

Set on the Cornish Riviera coast, on the edge of the popular fishing village of Polperro in an extremely convenient position which enables easy access in to and out of the village by road whilst only being a short walk down the hill into the heart of the village with all its amenities. Also within a short walk of the property is open countryside and the South West Coastal Footpath with much of the coastal land being under the stewardship of the National Trust. The stunning coastal scenery can be enjoyed with lovely walks to the east down on to Talland Bay Beach or to the west down into the village and picturesque harbour of this lovely fishing village. The village of Polperro still has an active fishing fleet operating from the picturesque harbour which also shelters a variety of pleasure craft. Around the harbour are a picturesque huddle of historical buildings, fisherman’s cottages and larger stone houses, many of which were once associated with the fishing industry. The village offers local shops, restaurants and inns, adequate for day to day needs. To the east, a short drive away, is the town of Looe providing a wider array of amenities and sheltered, moorings for yachts/pleasure craft on the East Looe River.

Inland lie the towns of Bodmin and Liskeard providing further retail, leisure and commercial facilities, a variety of supermarkets and both primary and secondary state schools. The road network is good with the B3359 providing a swift link to the A38 with lanes that cut across country to the A30 (Cornwall’s main arterial road). Both the A38 and the A30 remain largely dual carriageway, the A30 straight to Exeter where it joins the national motorway network and the A38 also culminates in Exeter but passes the nearby city of Plymouth which is the nearest city, just over the border into Devon. Plymouth provides an extremely wide array of facilities and more boating opportunities on the River Tamar and its tributaries. Liskeard has a main line station that provides a direct link to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4 hours.

This area is generally prized and well regarded, surrounded by some of Cornwall’s most unspoilt and untouched countryside, proving a magnet for many visitors throughout the year.
