Offers around 350,000 Chapel Rock Studio, Chapel Steps, Polperro, Nr. Looe, South East Cornwall LEASEHOLD An immaculate, thoroughly refurbished and modernised 2/3 bedroomed cottage forming the upper two floors of a harbourside building with spectacular elevated views over the inner harbour. An ideal home or holiday property just yards from the coast path, outer harbour beach and the numerous inns and restaurants, with its own secluded south facing frontage and small courtyard.
2 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Upper Ground Floor: reception hall, large open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, store room/utility, huge main bedroom with potential for subdivision, 2 nd bedroom, contemporary shower room. Upper Floor: open-plan dual aspect room with harbour and sea views. Outside: south facing slate topped walled path/courtyard. DESCRIPTION Chapel Rock Studio is the upper two floors of a lovely historic building on the quayside in Polperro. Huge sash windows adorn the harbourside frontage giving clear views over the comings and goings of fishing boats, the changing tides and bird life. Although elevated, the property is actually approached via its own front door off Chapel Rock Steps where it has an appealing cottage style façade and one would not initially realise that it is part of a taller building. The building in general has been recently renovated and Chapel Rock Studio is now offered for sale completely redecorated, re-carpeted and with a new kitchen and shower room. Unlike many of the properties in the area it offers large rooms with good ceiling heights, huge windows facing the water and has a much lighter and airier feel but still retains much of its original character.
3 To the front is a slate topped walled broad walkway which is wide enough to be used as a south facing courtyard. A painted period door opens into a surprisingly large reception hall with a painted beamed ceiling and stairs to the upper floor. To the left is a huge bedroom with windows to both front and rear and it is so large that it could easily be divided to create two bedrooms if required. Also facing the water but still enjoying privacy because of its elevated position is a lovely fully tiled shower room. To the right off the hall is a superb open-plan living space with two tall sash windows facing the harbour, a granite topped kitchen with integrated appliances and plentiful space for dining and seating areas. A door opens to the side of the kitchen into a general purpose store/utility room which allows the kitchen to have a minimalist style with the fridge, freezer, household necessities and food stores all being catered for by this room. A further bedroom opens off the sitting area. On the upper floor is a wonderful open-plan space amongst the painted room beams with a Velux roof window overlooking the harbour and a dormer window enjoying an oblique view to the sea. This room has many potential purposes and has been used as a bedroom in the past. The property is now immediately ready to move into with a modern electric radiator system and would be perfect as a family holiday home, main home in this picturesque village or as a stunning holiday let. LOCATION Much of the charm of Chapel Rock Studio is its exact location in Polperro enjoying unobstructed views over the harbour and being just moments walk from the coastal path, outer harbour, beach and the various inns, cafes and restaurants yet amazingly very few
4 people ever walk past the entrance as the sign to the harbour and coast path lead along a different route. Polperro is one of the most picturesque and unspoilt Cornish fishing villages with its narrow streets of fisherman s cottages, shops, galleries, restaurants and inns, clustered around the delightful working harbour which is still home to a thriving fishing fleet. Large areas of the beautiful unspoilt surrounding valley and coastline are in the ownership of the National Trust. Polperro has long been coveted as a holiday destination, with its temperate climate and proximity to the South Devon coast, this is an area in increasing demand. Polperro provides an excellent array of small shops, sufficient for day to day needs, whilst the larger town of Looe, to the east, provides a wider range of shopping, leisure and commercial facilities. To the north, Liskeard also provides a wide range of high street and local shops, together with supermarkets and a wider array of leisure and commercial facilities, including a main line railway station (with branch line to Looe). From Liskeard the A38 remains largely dual carriageway, providing a link via Plymouth to Exeter and onward to the M5 and beyond.
