Stargazy Pie

A short walk from the pretty harbour, this home couldn't be more typical of Mousehole if it tried. Once declared 'the loveliest village in England' by Dylan Thomas, 'Mowzul' is an ever-popular place to visit with narrow streets lined with historic cottages. Set over three floors, this former fisherman's loft is Grade II listed and has just the right balance of character features and modern, coastal-inspired styling. On the ground floor, a modern, eat-in kitchen provides everything you'll need for cooking at home, while the comfortable living room upstairs has the home's main entrance, an electric fire and a charming window seat. The top floor bedrooms are pretty special and we particularly love the vaulted ceilings and clever internal porthole windows. From the master bedroom, you can even see across to St Clement's Isle and beyond – what could be better? Stroll to the nearby, shops, cafes and restaurants or drive to Lamorna Cove (ten minutes) or Penzance (fifteen minutes).

Home truths:
*Mousehole wasn't built for cars so parking can be tricky. The car park closest to the home only accepts coins and the more central the car park, the more expensive it is – try North Quay car park or The Parade by the Rock Pool cafe
*One shower room is on the top floor with the bedrooms, while the other is on the ground floor with the kitchen
*There are lots of steps in this home
*You'll have a private entrance
*There's laptop-friendly workspace at the kitchen table
