Quaint Cornish cottage, that was once a fisherman's loft, located by the sea in the beautiful village of Mousehole.
Lined with traditional cottages and quaint dwellings, Mousehole’s narrow streets wind their way through the quaintest of Cornish seaside towns where a beautiful harbour poises on the western edge of Mount’s Bay, offering glittering views towards St Michael’s Mount and across the sea.
Set just a few metres back from the seafront, this authentic Cornish fisherman’s loft offers four guests a superb retreat away from the bustle of busy everyday life. Grade II listed, the cottage packs in original features by the bucket-load, and these combined with modern elements of a recent refurbishment create an idyllic sanctuary to retreat to after days spent exploring the coast. Arranged over three floors, the first floor entrance to the property is through a stable door which opens into a whitewashed living room with stripped floor planks and original stone walls.
A sash window nestles into the chunkiest of window reveals letting plenty of light in, while a low beamed ceiling and rustic hearth with period style stove add a warmth and cosiness to the space. The soft furnishings are understated and gorgeous with palette of neutral tones infusing a sense of calm and elegance. Downstairs on the ground floor a Shaker-style kitchen has been well thought-out in design to offer plenty of worktop space as well as make an inviting space to share conversations and mealtimes together. The cottage’s two bedrooms can be found on the top floor. Each room has timber floorboards, high pitched ceiling with exposed A frames, and feature circular windows with sunken spotlights, with the master bedroom boasting sea views over the village to St Clements Isle and beyond.
Mousehole is choc-a-block with galleries and creative workshops as well as a harbour front pub and a handful of fantastic restaurants. Well-placed along the coast, it’s just a short distance from Porthcurno’s stunning beach as well as The Minnack Theatre, Porthleven Harbour, St Michael’s Mount and St Ives.
