Beautiful and walkable

Guests say this area is scenic and it’s easy to get around.
Beautiful cottage close to the harbour, with a Parking space up lane. Perfect to enjoy this historic fishing village and explore from .
The cottage extends to the riverside with a secluded alfresco outdoor entertainment area. Inside is a beamed dining area with ancient timber table and chairs , a cosy lounge area in front of a log burner. Three large bedrooms ( two super kings and one with two large singles) & two shower rooms. A filtered fresh air system feeds the whole house.

The space
Believed to be one of the oldest properties in Polperro, Pridmouth House is a traditional double fronted stone and slate cottage which was extensively renovated 3 years ago from near derelict. Extended several centuries ago it has further been extended again 20 or so years back. The property effectively is twice the size of the original and benefits from beamed ceilings in the lounge and dining areas and in the master bedroom.
Outside to the rear down three steps to the walled patio area is the outside alfresco dining area complete with bench seating for six and a large timber table. The space is ideal for entertaining to the soundtrack of the river Pol riffling past.
All three bedrooms are large by cottage standards with two having super king sized beds and the third has two very large single beds in order to create sleeping flexibility. Dogs welcome max 2.

Guest access
You have the whole house to enjoy yourselves with the exception of the ground floor linen and storage spaces which are locked.

Other things to note
There’s a Henry vacuum cleaner and mop stored in the cloakroom/ luggage storage room at the bottom of the stairs down to the kitchen from the dining area, a steam iron plus ironing board and a clothes rack inside plus a washing line outside.
The house has a gentle , filtered fresh air ventilation system with humidity control to supply clean, fresh sea air into the heart of the building.
Apparently it reduces my snoring!!
I wouldn’t know as it helps me sleep like a baby..

Neighborhood highlights

Right in the heart of Polperro, a short almost completely level walk to the harbour, pubs, restaurants, cafes, beach and museum. Tucked 20 yards along Landaviddy lane, the property is not subject to throngs of visiting tourists wandering past. The riverside entertainment area is very private and can only be accessed from Pridmouth house.

Where I went to school: Dumbarton
My work: Retired
I’m Gordon and I live in the Cotswolds with my lovely wife Vicki. We met when working for P&O cruises many moons ago. I was a junior navigation officer and Vicki was an assistant purser at the time. I went on to specialise in dynamic positioning ships in the North Sea before family came along and land beckoned. We travel extensively in pursuit of my passion for fishing and visiting our eldest son down under. My youngest son helped me save Pridmouth House and hopefully you’ll enjoy your stay.
