Description

A Landmark Home Above the Coast


Set high above the enchanting harbour town of Looe, Wespenton is more than a home. It is an experience. Recently transformed with a refined contemporary vision, this exceptional Victorian residence effortlessly balances timeless character with modern indulgence.

Commanding arguably one of the finest vantage points in the area, the house captures an extraordinary 180 degree panorama, where the river meanders toward the horizon and the sea shimmers endlessly beyond. From golden sunrise reflections to dramatic coastal sunsets, the outlook is nothing short of captivating.

Tucked away in a peaceful elevated position, private and not overlooked, yet just a few minutes’ walk from the heart of East Looe and access to the South West Coast Path, the setting offers both seclusion and immediate connection to this much loved coastal town, recently brought into the spotlight as a filming location for the hit BBC series Beyond Paradise.


Designed Around the View


Every principal room has been curated to celebrate the landscape. Expansive glazing, French doors and carefully framed sightlines draw natural light deep into the home while ensuring the scenery remains ever present.

The main living space opens seamlessly onto a sun drenched terrace, an idyllic setting for relaxed mornings or evening gatherings overlooking the water. At the heart of the home, a fully fitted AEG kitchen pairs classic shaker cabinetry with sleek quartz surfaces, premium integrated appliances and a sociable central island.

Hidden layers of the house reveal further luxuries, including a characterful wine store with exposed stone, a well appointed utility space and a private cinema room, perfect for immersive evenings and entertaining.


Private Retreats and Refined Comfort


Upstairs, the accommodation unfolds with equal elegance. The principal suite is a sanctuary in itself, complete with a Juliette balcony that frames the estuary like a living painting, alongside a dressing area and indulgent en suite.

Guest suites and additional bedrooms continue the theme of understated luxury, while the bathrooms, many featuring spa like elements such as jacuzzi bathing, are finished to an exceptional standard with underfloor heating throughout, with radiators to bedroom floors.

Annexe Living with Endless Possibilities


Positioned above the garage, the detached annexe offers a fully independent living space, ideal for guests, extended family or lifestyle flexibility.

With its own open plan kitchen, dining and living area, the space flows onto a private south facing roof terrace, where panoramic views stretch across rooftops, water and sky. A double bedroom with en suite completes this sophisticated retreat.

Beneath the adjoining gym lies a unique opportunity, with infrastructure already in place for a resistance swimming pool, offering future wellness potential rarely found in coastal homes.

Grounds and Arrival


Behind secure electric gates, the property reveals a generous driveway, heated double garage and a striking electric car turntable, blending practicality with cutting edge convenience.

The terraced gardens are thoughtfully landscaped, featuring over 50 species of trees, shrubs, plants and flowers, creating a rich and ever changing outdoor environment. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the outdoor spaces provide a stunning natural extension of the home, always anchored by those far reaching coastal views.

The Looe Lifestyle


Life in Looe offers an exceptional blend of coastal beauty, culinary excellence and relaxed sophistication. This charming fishing town is as renowned for its atmosphere as it is for its scenery, with a thriving food scene that continues to draw visitors year round.

On the waterfront, The Sardine Factory delivers refined dining with a focus on the finest local seafood, while Yamas brings vibrant Mediterranean flavours to the Cornish coast. The ever popular The Fish Market offers a relaxed yet high quality dining experience, perfectly capturing the spirit of the harbour.

For those with a passion for fine wines and elegant evenings, Botel provides a more intimate setting, pairing carefully curated wines with a sophisticated atmosphere just moments from the water’s edge.

Beyond dining, Looe offers sandy beaches, a bustling harbour and direct access to the South West Coast Path, where dramatic clifftop walks reveal hidden coves and breathtaking views. The town’s growing reputation as the filming location for Beyond Paradise only adds to its charm, blending a sense of escapism with everyday life. There are also nearby golf courses, sailing clubs and a tennis club.

With excellent connections via nearby Liskeard to London Paddington, and easy access to both Devon and Cornwall’s most celebrated destinations, Wespenton is perfectly placed for both permanent living and a luxurious coastal retreat.

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!
