THE LOCATION A three-acre sandy beach and crystal-clear sea awaits visitors to this beautiful fishing village. Only ten miles from Helston and twenty-one miles from Falmouth. Coverack offers peaceful, yet easily accessible, living. Unlike some fishing villages there are no single-track roads to the village and indeed a double decker bus services the village. The community is an important reason why so many people move to Coverack and our Dave who works in our Heather & Lay Falmouth office and lives here, champions the sociable community as a major reason for choosing Coverack as home. Dave would be very willing to talk to anyone wishing to know more about the activities in the village. The local shop is run by Phil & Olivia offering most provisions and Bryn & Rob run Archie's Loft where you can get Cornish Roskilly's ice cream. The village 'local' is The Paris Hotel, built by the Brewery back in 1907 and named after the liner SS PARIS which ran aground on the headland on Whit Monday 1899. Ian & Lou are the fantastic hosts here offering good quality food and drink (don't forget the Wednesday night quiz) or if it is just fish and chips you are after then pop along to Mark at the old lifeboat house. Robin & Chris can teach you windsurfing, or, hire out kayaks or paddle boards and Marshall & Hannah offer a wide selection of local crafts/gifts in the Old Mill House. Plenty of good walks are on the doorstep along the coastal path where hidden beaches, wildlife, flora and rocky outcrops present great interest, peaceful and spectacular scenery.

THE PROPERTY Built by a sea captain in 1875 and made out of granite, this family home has been a welcome sight to local fishermen for almost 145 years. All rooms are of a generous size and have a ceiling height of eight feet which makes for a light and airy feel even though this is essentially a large cottage. On the ground floor are three reception rooms plus the kitchen/breakfast room while upstairs are three double bedrooms and family bathroom. Stunning sea/beach/cove views are afforded to all front facing windows, while at the rear is a sunny courtyard and sail loft that could be a possible further rental income plus a further grassed garden on a higher level behind. Its currently a holiday home for our vendors but would also make a very nice permanent residence. Oil fired central heating and a well-presented interior.
