3 bedroom detached house for sale

Occupying a prime coastal position in one of the most sought-after locations in Looe, this substantial detached residence enjoys truly panoramic sea views from all principal rooms and the beautifully terraced gardens. The exceptionally spacious accommodation is further enhanced by the benefit of planning permission for extension and enlargement, should a purchaser wish to create even more living space.

Set between the Barbican, Looe and Plaidy Beach, on the lower section of Bay View Road, Looe, this unique home offers three generous first-floor double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room and far-reaching coastal views stretching towards Rame Head and beyond on clear days.

From the first-floor landing, a door leads directly outside to a large and tranquil sea-facing patio, ideal for relaxing and entertaining.

The ground floor is arranged around a welcoming main hall which provides access to a visitors’ cloakroom, a magnificent lounge with feature fireplace and doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the sea, and a dining room which can be reached from both the lounge and the kitchen. The dining room benefits from a large picture window designed to maximise the spectacular outlook.

From the dining room, a superb cinema room is accessed, complete with screen and sound system, sea views, an external door and an adjoining shower room.

The kitchen is a standout feature and a true haven for anyone who enjoys entertaining, being comprehensively fitted and centred around a large island unit. Leading from the kitchen is a separate laundry room and a large integral workshop, which could easily be incorporated into the main accommodation if required.

Outside, the property is surrounded by attractive, landscaped gardens arranged over several levels, offering a combination of patio, lawn and decking. From the first-floor patio a striking feature waterfall cascades down into a pond on the lower terrace. From almost every part of the garden there are breathtaking sea views, taking in Rame Head to the east and Looe Island to the west.

From Bay View Road, a private driveway provides parking for two to three vehicles and leads to a double garage with a pedestrian door into the garden. Within a relatively level walk of the property are a variety of local amenities together with The Wooldown, Looe, an open amenity area overlooking the sea. The main town, harbour and beach are slightly further but remain accessible on foot for those who are moderately fit.

Situated on the south coast of Cornwall, Looe is a historic and picturesque fishing town renowned for its charming old buildings, narrow winding streets, traditional smugglers’ taverns, excellent restaurants and a superb sandy beach with shallow waters and an abundance of rock pools. The town is divided into East and West by the Looe River and the famous seven-arch Looe Bridge. The main town lies on the eastern side and offers a wide range of shops, facilities, local amenities and well-regarded schools.

The sheltered bay and estuary are particularly popular with holidaymakers, sailors and watersports enthusiasts, while the daily activity of the fishing fleet remains a constant source of interest. Looe is easily accessed via the M5 and A38 and is served by a scenic branch railway from Liskeard, connecting onward to Plymouth and the wider UK rail network.
