Mill Hill, Polperro, Cornwall

Polperro is a quaint old Cornish fishing village, whose narrow streets and pretty cottages remain undeniably attractive. Once upon a time the village was notorious for smuggling activities during the 18th and early 19th centuries. The village offers an abundance of shops, pubs and restaurants and is a very popular tourist destination.

Situated in the heart of the historic fishing village of Polperro, Oversteps is a characterful three-storey cottage just a short walk from the harbour, coastal footpaths, and local amenities. Brimming with traditional features, the property offers flexible accommodation and excellent potential for updating and personalisation.

The ground floor is accessed via a side entrance into a hallway with stairs rising to the first floor. This level includes a spacious kitchen leading into a second reception room, as well as a utility area with worktop space and access out to a generous enclosed rear garden — a rare and valuable feature in this part of the village. The ground floor was previously configured as a self-contained unit and could potentially be separated again, offering scope for multi-generational living or holiday letting (subject to any necessary consents).

The first floor (middle level) includes a light-filled, dual-aspect dining room with access to a bathroom featuring both a bath and a separate shower. A generous but cosy living room on this level enjoys double-aspect windows and a substantial mahogany fireplace. The main entrance on this floor provides access to Mill Hill.

On the top floor are two spacious double bedrooms, both with storage and pleasant village views.

Offered with no onward chain, Oversteps presents a unique opportunity to create a distinctive home or holiday retreat in one of Cornwall’s most picturesque coastal settings.
