Description

Little Barn is a truly unique cottage style` barn conversion nestled in the heart of Polperro, occupying a tucked away position just yards from the bustling main street and the picturesque harbour. This charming property enjoys a delightful setting alongside the stream-like River Pol, which can be both seen and heard from the rear windows, providing a serene and peaceful ambiance throughout the home.

Stepping inside, the accommodation is brimming with character and charm, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere. The property briefly comprises three bedrooms, with the third bedroom conveniently located on the ground floor, making it an ideal space for a home office or guest room. The lounge with dining area is a cosy retreat featuring a multi-fuel burning stove, perfect for those cooler evenings and adding to the cottage`s rustic appeal. The fully fitted kitchen is well equipped with cupboards and appliances and is adjacent to the dining area, creating a sociable space for entertaining or family meals. Completing the accommodation is a modern shower room and a handy downstairs WC, adding to the practicality of the layout.

Externally, Little Barn benefits from a relatively private courtyard garden to the front, a rare and valuable feature in the centre of the village where many properties lack any outside space. This outdoor area offers a peaceful spot to relax or dine al fresco, enhancing the overall appeal of the home.

Little Barn presents an excellent opportunity for a variety of buyers. It is perfectly suited as a holiday let, given its prime location and charming character, but it is also spacious enough to serve as a comfortable permanent residence or a second home. Its combination of tranquillity, convenience, and character makes it a highly desirable property in one of Cornwall`s most sought after villages.

Polperro itself is a delightful Cornish fishing village renowned for its narrow, winding streets, traditional cottages, and vibrant harbour. Visitors and residents alike can enjoy scenic coastal walks along the South West Coast Path, explore local art galleries and craft shops, or sample fresh seafood at one of the many quaint pubs and restaurants. The village also hosts various festivals throughout the year, celebrating its rich maritime heritage and community spirit, making it a wonderful place to live or visit.
