Description

An exceptional opportunity to acquire one of Cornwall’s most distinctive lifestyle businesses — The Model Village Land of Legend, Polperro. Situated in the very heart of this historic fishing village, the property combines a long-established visitor attraction with a substantial three-bedroom owner’s home, offering both commercial potential and an enviable coastal lifestyle.
The Business
The Model Village has been a feature of Polperro’s tourism for decades, attracting visitors from across the UK and overseas. The attraction includes:
• A detailed scale model of Polperro, faithfully capturing the harbour, cottages, and winding streets
• The Land of Legend indoor experience, combining light, sound and folklore
• Additional displays including a model railway and workshop areas
With strong seasonal footfall and repeat custom, the business presents a proven and rewarding opportunity for an owner-operator or investor wishing to continue and develop its heritage.
The Residence
Above the attraction lies a stylish and welcoming three-bedroom home, thoughtfully decorated and full of character.
At its heart is the open kitchen, dining and living space, where a vaulted ceiling creates a sense of space and light. An AGA provides both warmth and functionality, making it a true centrepiece for family living and entertaining. The adjoining sitting room is equally inviting, complete with a log burner that transforms the space into a cosy retreat on cooler evenings.
The master bedroom offers generous proportions and the luxury of a walk-in wardrobe, while two further bedrooms have been cleverly designed with mezzanine levels, maximising space and offering versatility for guests, children, or home working.
Outside, a large sun terrace, providing the perfect setting for al fresco dining, morning coffee in the sunshine, or simply enjoying the views over the village rooftops.
This residence is more than just accommodation above a business: it is a beautifully appointed home, perfectly blending comfort, practicality, and charm.
Financial Overview
• Annual Turnover: approx. £40,000
• Operating Costs: approx. £3,000 per annum
• Net Profit: approx. £37,000 per annum
The business benefits from exceptionally low overheads and strong profit margins. Current income levels comfortably support a lifestyle buyer, with further potential to increase revenues through extended opening hours, marketing initiatives, merchandising, or special events.
Full financial accounts are available to interested parties.
Location
Polperro is one of Cornwall’s most celebrated coastal villages, renowned for its picturesque harbour, narrow streets and strong visitor appeal. The property benefits from year-round interest, with significant increases during the holiday season.
Opportunity
This sale represents a rare chance to purchase a well-established tourism business with integrated accommodation in one of Cornwall’s most desirable destinations. It is ideally suited to:
• Lifestyle buyers seeking a home and income in a vibrant coastal community
• Hospitality operators looking to expand or diversify
• Investors interested in acquiring a unique, characterful asset with further development potential

The Model Village, Polperro offers not only a commercial investment but also the chance to enjoy an exceptional standard of living in one of Cornwall’s most sought-after harbour villages.

About Pilkington Estates, Stoke

Harscombe House 1Darklake View, Plymouth, PL6 7TL

Buying and selling property is both an art and a science. In the 21st century, the world of estate agency has blossomed in the digital environment, leaving many traditional firms left standing, eyeing the technology with confusion and suspicion rather than embracing it. The team at Pilkington Estates are digital natives, embracing everything the modern world has to offer to help present your home in the best possible light, and using technology to get the right message to the right buyer at the right time.

This contemporary, no nonsense approach is balanced by a sensitivity and empathy towards their customers, both buyers and sellers, that allows us to offer a truly one to one bespoke service.

We understand that every customer is different, and each client has different needs and requirements, so will customise any modern method of selling to suit individual requirements.

Whether you are an old hand with multiple sales under your belt, or whether you are selling a much loved family home for the first time, Pilkington Estates are careful to hand hold you through the process as much or as little as you need.

We can help keep your house hunting enthusiasm burning with intelligent recommendations or can take the strain of the entire relocation process by doing all the running around that you are too busy to do.

We sit comfortably in this fast-paced world, understanding your need for urgency. We bring an energy and confidence to the whole buying and selling process that will get the job done without the drama.

This is not an agency that likes to sit around waiting for the phone to ring!
