Description
This three-bedroom former coastguard house, built in 1912, occupies an elevated position above Sennen Cove, with views across farmland towards Land's End. The ground floor has a lounge, kitchen/dining room and bathroom, while the three double bedrooms are upstairs. The loft has been converted and divided into two further rooms. The property is vacant and offered with no onward chain, and the listing describes it as requiring renovation and refurbishment.
A rear garden extending to around 200 feet backs onto open farmland. The sale is subject to a Section 157 local authority clause, requiring purchasers to demonstrate a local connection to Cornwall during the previous three consecutive years.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
50out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a characterful former coastguard house with a strong setting: elevated views towards Land’s End and a substantial 200ft rear garden give the project a distinctive canvas. The dated interiors offer scope to refresh finishes, improve the kitchen and bathroom, and bring the overgrown garden back into use. The renovation range is £35,000–£65,000; visible staining to the exterior render and a ceiling crack are also worth investigating as part of the work.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated interiors, including the kitchen and bathroom, and update worn flooring and decoration.
- Clear and improve the 200ft rear garden, bordered by open farmland.
- Make the most of the elevated views towards Land’s End and the property’s character as a former coastguard house.
Key risks
- Widespread staining and weathering to the exterior render need assessment; the photographs do not establish the roof’s condition.
- A visible ceiling crack and wall marks should be checked during inspection.
- The section 157 clause requires buyers to prove a qualifying Cornwall local connection.
