House For Sale £950,000
Penhallow on Brent, a former agricultural building, was converted to a residential dwelling in 1936 and sold by the National Trust in the 1990s. The house, which is now in need of total modernisation, has retained many interesting features, including exposed stonework, diamond lead-paned windows and stone elevations. The views from all the rooms at Penhallow are glorious, taking in the harbour and the sea beyond.
The house was originally three bedrooms but with the removal of an internal wall, now offers two large double bedrooms on the first floor, both offering coastal views and one with a door to the terrace and a large stone-built fireplace. In addition, on the first floor is a bathroom, separate cloakroom and walk in eaves storage.
The ground floor offers a spacious kitchen/breakfast room with coal fired Rayburn with back boiler, and fabulous views of the harbour and out to sea. The large L-shaped living/dining room has an inglenook stone-built fireplace and door to the gardens.
Outbuildings
There is a good range of outbuildings, most notably, the two-storey garden studio, which was converted to a holiday let in the 90s but is now in a state of disrepair. The studio offers two rooms and an adjoining external shower room/WC. There is also a large timber shed/workshop, stone-built summer house and a detached double garage.
Gardens
The gardens are a delight, facing due south and being well-established with an array of mature shrubs, plants. The gardens are bordered in part by National Trust woodland and there is direct access to a woodland walk footpath which leads down to the harbour. The views across the harbour and the sea beyond are sublime. There is a stone-built BBQ area, terrace and stone built paths created throughout the garden.

Polperro is a village and fishing port originally belonging to the ancient Raphael Manor mentioned in the Doomsday Book. Situated on the River Pol, four miles west of the major resort of Looe and 25 miles west of the major city and port of Plymouth, it has a picturesque fishing harbour lined with pretty cottages which make it a popular tourist location in the summer months.
The village has been a working fishing port since the 13th Century and this peaceful fishing cove was once a thriving centre for the area's smuggling. Fishing trips or pleasure cruises can be arranged from the quayside, or you can take the cliff path to explore the secluded smuggling coves of Talland and Lantivet Bay. With its protected inner harbour full of colourful boats, glorious coastal views, and shops, pubs and restaurants a plenty, the village is a popular and desirable place to both holiday and to live, and for the latter, there is good primary school. The charm of the village is protected by its status as a conservation area, and the harbour is
designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
