Description
The Property - Tucked away along the enchanting, winding streets of Mousehole lies a truly wonderful Cornish gem. Instantly appealing with its double-fronted, freshly painted exterior, and classic box sash windows, this cottage certainly makes a good first impression.
Step inside and you’re greeted by a wonderful sitting room, where painted stone walls, wood beams, and a characterful wood-burning stove create an irresistibly cosy retreat — ideal for unwinding with a good book and a pot of Cornish tea as the evening draws in.
The kitchen/breakfast room is both inviting and practical, offering a generous range of countertops, built-in shelving, and ample storage — a delightful space to prepare a leisurely breakfast or entertain with ease.
Upstairs, two spacious double bedrooms provide restful sanctuaries, one of which enjoys access to a charming, albeit very small, terrace area — the perfect spot for morning coffee or quiet contemplation. The recently updated shower room is a standout feature, showcasing a striking stained glass window that adds a unique and colourful flourish.
This is the quintessential Cornish cottage — brimming with character, beautifully presented, and ready to welcome its next custodian.
The Location - Discover Mousehole: A Picture-Perfect Cornish Haven
Nestled on the rugged southwest coast of Cornwall, Mousehole (pronounced “Mowzel”) is a storybook fishing village where time seems to slow down. With its narrow, winding streets, honey-hued granite cottages, and a picturesque harbour that twinkles with lights at Christmas, it’s easy to see why Dylan Thomas called it "the loveliest village in England."
The village is perfect for those who love the outdoors, with stunning coastal path walks offering breathtaking sea views, while artists and photographers are drawn here for the ever-changing light and dramatic landscapes. The calm waters of the harbour make it ideal for paddleboarding and kayaking, while keen cyclists can take on the rolling Cornish countryside.
Despite its quiet charm, Mousehole is well connected. It’s just three miles from Penzance, where you’ll find larger supermarkets, a hospital, and a mainline train station offering direct services to London Paddington. St Ives is around a 30-minute drive—perfect for a day out exploring art galleries and sandy beaches. For those needing to travel further afield, Newquay Airport is about an hour’s drive away, providing flights to major UK cities and some European destinations.
Families will find excellent local schools, with Mousehole Primary School in the village itself and a range of secondary options in nearby Penzance. Food lovers will be spoilt for choice, with cosy pubs and seafood restaurants serving up the freshest local catch.
If you dream of living by the sea, where the sound of waves is your morning alarm and a stroll along the harbour is part of daily life, Mousehole offers an unbeatable setting. Whether you're an artist inspired by the landscape, a retiree looking for tranquillity, or a family wanting a friendly coastal community, this hidden gem has something for everyone.
