Accommodation overview: Enjoying wonderful harbour and sea views from most windows, this grade II listed 18th century former fishermans cottage is located in The Warren, a quintessentially Cornish traffic free area, offering light and airy accommodation on three floors.
Set right in the heart of the pretty village of Polperro with a picturesque harbour and the South West Coast Path on the doorstep, this quaint cottage is ideally situated only a few paces from the quayside and is entered from the narrow pedestrian lane.
Three steep steps lead up to the stable front door which opens directly into a spacious beamed kitchen/diner with an attractive run of pine kitchen units, a rustic dining suite and fine views of the fishing boats in the harbour from both a cushioned window seat and the stable door.
From the kitchen, a carpeted staircase leads up to a lovely beamed sitting room with comfortable lounge seating and two sunny window seats overlooking the active fishing harbour below. To complete the first floor accommodation there is a fully tiled shower room W.C. with hand basin at the rear.
In one corner, a further staircase continues up to the top floor landing and two cosy bedrooms with hip shaped ceilings, some of the original 300 year old exposed beams and a double and twin beds respectively. The former enjoys a bird’s eye view across the harbour towards the original net houses and Peak Rock, Polperro’s iconic rock and far out to sea.

There is one reserved parking space in a private garage just under half a mile away and approximately a 10 minute walk - there is no vehicle access to the property however a luggage taxi service is available.
Formerly the birthplace of Jonathan Couch a distinguished local historian, details can be found in the Heritage Museum of Smuggling and Fishing nearby.
