House For Sale £1,250,000
This beautifully presented and well-loved family home has been in the same ownership since 1989, and would benefit from some refurbishment and upgrading. The reverse level accommodation maximises the spectacular location and has been designed around the garden levels, ensuring the first floor living areas not only have outstanding views but also the benefit of direct access to the large south facing balcony and garden. The ground floor comprises four bedrooms (the smallest would make an ideal study overlooking the sea), two spacious shower rooms and a conservatory with wonderful views. There is also a cloakroom, a boot room, inner lobby, and utility cupboard.
A stylish and ornate staircase rises to the first floor, overlooked by a minstrel's gallery. The sitting room, with its exceptional views, is fitted with display shelving, and a feature LPG gas fire. Sliding glazed doors lead to steps down to the slate balcony below. The dining room, with exposed wooden floor, has double glazed doors leading to the adjoining stone dining terrace. The kitchen, with breakfast room at one end, is fitted with a range of units, and appliances include a
dishwasher, a microwave, an oven and hob, and tall standing fridge and freezer.
Gardens
The gardens are a special feature at The Wildings, being well established, south facing and offering glorious views across the harbour and out to sea. These mature gardens comprise a level lawn, a large rockery bank and an unspoilt woodland, and offer an array of native shrubs, including hydrangeas, azaleas and over 50 camellias. There is a mass of spring flowers and ferns, and the gardens are criss-crossed with a network of paths and terracing.
The stone dining terrace which adjoins the dining room is again south-facing and sheltered. There is ample parking for numerous vehicles, and a large garage with workstore and loft area/storage above. There is a potting shed.

Polperro is a historic fishing village situated on the River Pol, four miles west of the resort of Looe and 25 miles west of the major city and port of Plymouth. 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. 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. Today Polperro has a
picturesque fishing harbour lined with pretty cottages which make it a popular tourist location in the summer months. Fishing or sight-seeing trips can be arranged from the quayside, or you can walk the cliff path to explore the secluded
smuggling coves and beaches of Talland and Lantivet Bay and beyond.
With its protected inner harbour full of colourful boats, glorious coastal views, and shops, pubs and restaurants aplenty, Polperro is a popular and desirable place to both holiday and to live, and for the latter, there is good primary school.
