This charming three-bedroom cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation in a picturesque coastal village setting. Located in Polruan, the property boasts enviable views of the estuary towards Fowey and is within walking distance of the harbor, beach, and local amenities, making it an ideal candidate for investment.
Polruan is situated on the east bank of the River Fowey and offers a quaint village atmosphere with essentials such as general stores, tea rooms, and pubs nearby. The convenient passenger ferry service connects residents to Fowey, which provides a wider array of shops and services. Moreover, the scenic surroundings include extensive coastal paths and countryside trails, much of which is preserved by the National Trust.
The property itself features flexible accommodation spread across three storeys. Accessed from West Street, which is one of Polruan's most sought-after areas, April Cottage includes two entrances—one leading directly to the ground floor where two double bedrooms are situated. The rear bedroom comes equipped with built-in storage and a shower room, while the front room contains fitted wardrobes.
An open tread staircase ascends to the dining room on the first floor, where estuary views enhance this generous space. From here, you can access both the kitchen and another bedroom. The kitchen provides ample cabinetry along with essential appliances. A wet room serves this level as well.
The second-floor sitting room stands out with its stunning views over the water—perfect for observing local maritime activities from paddleboarding to larger vessels passing through the estuary. Adjacent to this room is a conservatory that overlooks a garden area (not owned by the property), offering an additional space to unwind.
April Cottage holds great potential as either a holiday let or second home due to its desirable location and views; however, it does present some unique features such as a flying freehold which may limit mortgage options. Prospective buyers are encouraged to consult with lenders regarding financing possibilities.
This property is offered with vacant possession and no upward chain, providing an excellent canvas for those looking to invest in a distinctive renovation project in an appealing seaside community.
