With delightful views over the harbour wall and out to sea from a little balcony, this unusual, former fishermans workshop, is set in a conservation area just yards from the waters edge in the picturesque village of Mousehole.

With all the accommodation on the first floor, the property is entered via an external flight of railed stone steps which lead up to a rustic, south facing timber balcony where it is possible to peacefully sit and enjoy the vista.

From here, the stable front door leads directly into a small open plan living room with the exposed natural beams rising up to the apex of the roof and a unique cork clad ceiling for added insulation. Based on a simple nautical theme, cane lounge furniture faces the granite chimney breast which has a back boiler to heat three radiators, there is a pine dining suite and a partly divided galley kitchen area.

Leading off at the rear, there is a double bedroom with a fitted wardrobe and dressing table and a second bedroom which is tiny and has built-in cabin style 3ft bunks. A bathroom with hand basin and separate W.C. can be accessed from both of the bedrooms.

Parking is in the harbour car park adjacent to the property.

The village has a post office, general store, art and craft shops, a pub and a selection of restaurants and cafes all within a five minute walk. There is a small sandy beach within the harbour at low tide and a sea water paddling pool amongst the rocks at the entrance to the village.

There is a wealth of local walks in the immediate vicinity in particular the beautiful two mile stretch of the South West Coast Path from Mousehole to Lamorna Cove. Penzance, 4 miles, has a shopping centre, supermarkets, railway station connecting with local bus routes and a regular ferry and helicopter service to the Isles of Scilly. The Minack Theatre at Porthcurno is 8 miles to the west; St Michaels Mount at Marazion is 6 miles to the east, and St Ives 12 miles to the north.

Please note: Bed linen is available at £5 per person, per week payable on arrival. Towels are not available. A daily car park ticket currently costs £3.
