Opposite, the sitting room is a true highlight, featuring a superb stone and brick fireplace with an inset multi-fuel burner, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere during the cooler months. The room`s sash window allows natural light to flood in, enhancing the character and charm of the space.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises two comfortable double bedrooms, each benefiting from the characterful sash windows that frame views of the surrounding area. Between the bedrooms is a central shower room, cleverly designed with Jack and Jill doors providing direct access from both rooms, offering convenience and privacy. The property is heated by independent electric heaters, ensuring comfort throughout the year without compromising its traditional appeal.

This cottage perfectly blends period features with modern comforts, making it a quintessential Cornish home. Its tucked-away position in West Looe means it is peaceful yet within easy reach of the town`s amenities and stunning coastline.
