UNIQUE WATERFRONT LOCATION

This charming three-bedroomed cottage set above the historic and tranquil Pill Creek, has direct water access, foreshore and a mooring. Tim May, who is marketing the property for Savills Cornwall, comments: “Tucked away on the peaceful Pill Creek, 3 West Pill is a hidden gem. A perfect ‘lock up and leave’ or for those who are simply seeking tranquillity.”

West Pill Cottages are thought to date back to the mid-late 18th Century, built for shipwrights and formerly part of the Trelissick Estate (now National Trust owned).

Pill Creek was used as a safe haven for boats during storms and at low tide as an area to build and repair boats, opposite the cottage are the original 18th century quays used for the export of minerals.

Today much of the creek reflects its historical past attracting those seeking peace and tranquillity.

3 West Pill is a beautiful Grade II Listed mid-terraced cottage set in an idyllic position above the peaceful waters of Pill Creek.

A pathway leads through the pretty garden to the entrance porch, there are two reception rooms either side of the hallway, both enjoying stunning creek views.

The charming sitting room has a wood burner with slate hearth and surround thought to date back to the late-Georgian era and there is a WC located to the rear.

The traditional dining room with built-in cupboards leads through to the recently-fitted shaker style kitchen with a centrally placed Aga as a focal point and the sun terrace can be accessed from the kitchen via steps leading from the rear patio.

The majority of rooms enjoy superb creek views and much of the accommodation retains many of the original features including the original doors and storage cupboards within the recesses.

There are three bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor including a spacious master suite with an en-suite shower room. Both the master suite and guest bedroom have stunning views over the creek.

The elevated west-facing sun deck to the rear creates a perfect place for sundowners and to enjoy the surrounding countryside.

The gardens to the front are attractively landscaped with lawns, mature flower beds and shrubs with two sun terraces.

The privately owned foreshore is accessed via the public footpath and steps located a few metres away from the property.

At low tide there is a small beach which is convenient for keeping a tender or for working on boat repairs.

The registered main channel and outhaul moorings are located directly in line with the property and foreshore.

Off the main tourist routes, Pill Creek will appeal to those seeking tranquillity and boating adventures.

Loe Beach located just 600 yards away and Mylor Harbour located within a short distance, provide sailing and kayaking facilities along with clubhouses, lay ups, cafes and restaurants.
