Description

An exceptional elevated position with panoramic views across Looe Harbour and the river, beautifully established gardens and a generous terrace from which to enjoy one of the town's most captivating outlooks.

Occupying a commanding position above Looe Harbour, The Lookout is a distinctive three-bedroom detached bungalow enjoying panoramic views across the harbour, river, town and surrounding wooded hillsides. Few properties in Looe can offer such an extensive outlook, particularly when combined with the convenience of being within a short walk of the town centre and its many facilities.

One of the first properties built in Downs View, The Lookout is of traditional red-brick construction and has been carefully maintained by its current owners, with considerable investment in its upkeep. The property offers comfortable, well-presented accommodation extending to approximately 1,030 sq ft (95.6 sq m), together with established gardens, a substantial outdoor terrace, a large detached outbuilding and a carport for one vehicle.

A View That Defines the Property

The outstanding feature of The Lookout is undoubtedly its position. From its elevated vantage point, the property commands sweeping views across the harbour and river, taking in the distinctive character of East and West Looe, the activity of the waterfront and the surrounding Cornish landscape.

The outlook changes constantly with the tides, passing boats, weather and light, providing an ever-changing panorama throughout the day and across the seasons.

The generous garden terrace is particularly well positioned to take full advantage of these views, creating a wonderful setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply watching harbour life unfold below. It provides an extension of the living space during warmer months and is a feature that truly distinguishes The Lookout from many other properties in the town.

Accommodation

The accommodation is arranged over a single level and comprises a spacious kitchen/dining room, separate reception room, three bedrooms, family bathroom, additional shower room and a recently installed replacement utility room.

The kitchen/dining room provides a sociable space for everyday living and entertaining, while the separate reception room offers a comfortable setting in which to relax. The three bedrooms provide flexibility for family accommodation, visiting guests or a home office.

The replacement utility room adds valuable practicality to the accommodation, with additional space for laundry and household requirements.

Throughout, the property reflects a programme of careful maintenance and investment by its owners. It offers a comfortable home in its present form, while also providing opportunities for purchasers to personalise the interior to suit their own tastes and requirements.

Mains gas central heating is provided by a new Vaillant boiler installed in November 2025.

Gardens and Outside Space

The Lookout is complemented by established gardens with mature planting, providing an attractive setting around the bungalow.

The substantial terrace forms the centrepiece of the outside accommodation, its elevated position making the most of the remarkable harbour and river views. Whether enjoying a morning coffee, dining outside or entertaining friends and family, this is a space designed to take full advantage of the property's exceptional surroundings.

A large outbuilding offers valuable additional space with potential for use as a studio, home gym, workshop or hobby room, depending on individual requirements.

A carport provides covered parking for one vehicle.

A Distinctive Harbour Home

The Lookout represents an opportunity to acquire a well-maintained, traditionally constructed bungalow in an outstanding position above Looe Harbour. Its combination of panoramic views, generous terrace, established gardens, flexible accommodation and convenient access to the town creates a particularly appealing coastal home.
