STONEHAVEN - Mid 18th century on the left with its more modern extension on the right
Stonehaven enjoys a slightly elevated position in the heart of the village at the foot of Talland Hill. Just off the main tourist thoroughfare yet only a moment's stroll to the centre of the village with its shops, pubs and restaurants. The ancient harbour is less than a minute away and the cliff tops with their endless variety and many breathtaking walks no more than a few minutes distant. The beautiful Cornish Coastal Path in fact passes through Polperro. Outside the harbour there is a beach and a natural rock bathing pool.
An attractive and mainly mid 18th century Grade II listed freehold building of stone construction under a Cornish slate roof. The accommodation is spread over three floors and being built on a steep hill there is level street access to both the ground and first floors!
The property is already a very comfortable residence yet has even greater potential. The Lower floor which used to be a shop was brought back into the main house by the present owners in 1992 and could easily be modified to become a self contained flat for letting or a 'Granny' Annex or even reconverting into a shop - subject to planning consents. The main accommodation includes 3 bedrooms but a little creativity on the Lower floor this could very easily add another 2 double bedrooms making Stonehaven a truly spacious and versatile home.

The village of Polperro with it's colourful smuggling history is situated on the south eastern coast of Cornwall and is without doubt one of the most picturesque and attractive fishing villages in England. Its fascinating harbour which is still actively used for local fishing provides a delightful setting for this unique property.
The area is well served by the trunk network with the final approach being by A or B roads. There is a rail link from Looe Station approximately 4 miles distant which connects to Liskeard and the main railway network. There are regular bus services from the Crumplehorn end of the village. Plymouth Airport (about 25 miles) has regular internal UK and European flights.
