This gorgeous, colourful cottage sits in a quiet neighbourhood in Mousehole, Cornwall. It’s the perfect home for families and couples seeking tranquillity yet still wanting to be close to the town and beach. Mousehole fishing village is just 700 yards away and is a pretty place to spend an afternoon with its narrow streets, cafes, shops, and galleries. After exploring the centre, stroll down to the harbour and watch the boats bobbing in the water, soak up views of Mount’s Bay or head to the small, sandy beach and enjoy a swim in the sea. The South West Coast Path can also be picked up at Mousehole and offers explorers stunning coastal views and plenty of bird-watching opportunities.
Open-beamed ceilings, wood-panelled flooring, and a granite fireplace make this property an authentic Cornish retreat. On the ground floor, a delightful lounge awaits. Full of character, it’s the perfect spot for relaxing in with its bright furnishings, comfortable sofas, and locally sourced artwork with the wood burner offering a welcome glow and warmth when lit. For further relaxation, step through to the sunny conservatory. Its unfussy decor creates a tranquil ambience and it won’t be long before you’re unwinding on the leather chairs and staring through the windows at the pretty garden views. Leading off from the lounge is a fully equipped kitchen with tiled flooring and exposed brickwork. In this homely space you can whip up delicious home-cooked meals before eating around the farmhouse-style table. From the kitchen, stairs lead to the first floor where the two bedrooms are located. With one double and one twin, the rooms are light and airy and have pretty sash windows that invite you to stop and soak up the garden and countryside views. There’s also a good-sized bathroom on this floor.
While the interior is homely and neat, when the weather is good, you’ll want to step out into the enclosed front garden and admire the flowers or simply take it easy in the shade and listen to the sound of the nearby stream. Alternatively, gather everyone together on the small, rear patio and enjoy a drink or meal at the table.
