HARBOUR VIEWS
Acoastal cottage in Cornwall with strong income potential is on the market with Stags at a guide price of £499,000
Rose Cottage stands in a prominent coastal position at Sunny Corner, Coverack, in an elevated position commanding wonderful broad views across the bay, harbour and out to sea.
Coverack is a picturesque harbour village located on the south-eastern coast of The Lizard Peninsula. With a rich maritime and fishing industry, this idyllic cove is now a popular holiday destination and bustles over the summer months with a range of restaurants and shops together with the Coverack Wind-Surfing Centre which has a variety of water sports on offer.
The peninsula is the most southerly point of England with wide expanses designated as An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and owned by private estates or the National Trust. Other nearby beaches include those at Kennack Sands and Poldhu whilst the beautiful wooded creeks of the Helford River are also readily accessible.
There is direct access onto the South West Coast Path and from here breath-taking views can be enjoyed no matter what direction one takes. Within a short drive is the larger village of St Keverne which again provides a range of day to day facilities whilst more extensive amenities are available within the historic market town of Helston which is some 12 miles’ distant.
A rare opportunity to acquire this character Grade II Listed thatched cottage, which is little more than 100 yards from the waterfront. The property stands in an elevated position enjoying a magnificent panorama across the harbour and out to sea.
Beautifully presented throughout, having benefited from an interior designer, the property is available fully furnished at additional negotiable cost with a few personal items excluded.
The property is approached into a small hallway with the kitchen and bathroom accessible from this entrance. The kitchen, whilst compact and fully functional, has dual aspect windows enjoying marvellous harbour and sea views. Slate topped Shaker units, Belfast sink, oven and hob, and a timber floor complete this wonderful in-character kitchen. The bathroom, with part wood panelled timber floor, is complemented with a pedestal bath with mixer tap and shower fitting, WC and pedestal sink. Entering the main reception room with dual aspect windows across the gardens and with vistas across the sea, you are greeted by timber floors, beamed ceiling and a large fireplace complete with log burner. Character décor, fixtures and fittings complete this serene and calming hub of this wonderful cottage. The hand built feature staircase elevates you to the first floor giving access to the two bedrooms. The main bedroom has dual aspect windows, timber floors and views across the gardens and out to sea. Bedroom two also has stunning views across the harbour and out to sea, again decorated to a high standard.
The property is approached by a single pathway across the lawn with borders which are laid with a mature mix of tropical and seasonal plants. The gardens wrap around the property and there are multiple places to dine outside to enjoy the stunning sea views. A small summerhouse completes the gardens which are private with wonderful sea panoramas. Rose Cottage is currently operating as a holiday let and has a strong income potential, with the option of continuing with the current agency.
