A Darling Fisherman’s Cottage on the Cornwall Coast Angles for £685K
A delicately renovated fisherman’s cottage in the seaside village of Mousehole in Cornwall, England, frames far-reaching views across Mount’s Bay from each of its three levels.
Sited in the picturesque fishing port of Mousehole, the Cornish property is located just a short walk away from the village bay and beachfront. The area also offers easy access to Cornwall's west coastline, as well as popular destinations such as Land's End, Sennen, and Newlyn.
Upon arrival, a private, landscaped garden leads to the dwelling’s main entry, where a stable door extends a warm welcome. Following a recent revamp, the interior now presents a calming, light-filled aesthetic, fitted with north-facing windows, whitewashed walls, and exposed beams.
A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, where gray tile contrasts with the textured white walls.
On the ground level, an open layout merges the living and dining areas, with the compact yet fully equipped kitchen positioned toward the back. Heated tiles line the floor, enhancing the home’s cozy vibes.
Wood paneling sets off the dining nook, which features a built-in bench.
Right off the kitchen, a timber staircase ascends to the home's primary suite. The bright, airy sleeping area enjoys captivating sea views and an original stone fireplace. A spacious bathroom awaits on the opposite side of the level, featuring vintage fixtures and decorative tiling.
A few steps lead to the kitchen, located at the rear of the ground level.
The top floor houses a well-proportioned second bedroom—a space that could easily be converted into a home office or creative studio. Outside, a stone terrace offers an additional place to gather, whether it be to partake in al fresco dining or simply marvel at the crystal-clear water.
Though small in size, the kitchen is fully equipped, featuring modern appliances, a butler sink set into bespoke joinery, and ample counter space.
According to the listing agency, the cottage—known as Saltponds—doubles as a vacation rental, allowing potential income for the future buyer. Scroll ahead to see more of the property, currently available for £685,000 (approximately $949,750).
