Mevagissey, Cornwall, PL26

Could this be one amongst a handful of the smallest coastal cottages in Cornwall, that certainly makes up for its size with its charming and picturesque frontage, with its generous split level and low maintenance garden with summerhouse and with the fact that there is a freehold parking space that is available subject to negotiation.

The cottage is Grade II listed, is believed to have been in the same family ownership for the last 140 years, has a quaint and cosy feel with its main living space having a beamed ceiling and an open fireplace with Cornish stone surround. As well as the large summerhouse with power points and lighting, there are two outside stores.

The Separate parking space is located within a very short walk away, with access off Cliff Street and is available to be purchased solely at this stage by the buyer of the property, with a Guide Price of £20,000.

In our opinion, this very sweet character cottage is a rare property to become available for sale within the village, to be within walking distance of the harbour, the shops and village facilities and for under £200,000, to have a garden and its own parking space, in a setting so close to the harbour.

The glazed entrance door leads to the ground floor living space that forms the lounge/ dining room with kitchen.There is a sash window to the front elevation, oak style flooring, exposed beamed ceiling, fireplace and a stable door with an inset obscure glazed window opening to the rear alleyway.

The kitchen area has been updated with a range of grey fronted kitchen units with fitted worktops, sink and drainer, there is a free standing cooker with electric hob and there are spaces for fridge and a washing machine.

The period staircase leads to the first floor landing with a handy storage ledge on one side with the hot water heater and coat hanging hooks above. Latched and painted doors lead to the double bedroom and the separate shower room.

The double bedroom has a sash window to the front elevation with lovely views looking out over the village and with rural views beyond. There is a built in cupboard with hanging rail.

The shower room has been updated with a white suite and comprises shower cubicle with wall mounted electric Mira shower, W/C with push button flush, corner wash hand basin, wall mounted fan heater, partially tiled walls and slate style tiled flooring.

Floor plan to follow shortly.
