Stella Maris

This Grade II-listed former fisherman's cottage sits in the heart of Mousehole, a picturesque fishing village on the west Cornwall coast, where narrow cobbled streets and yellow-lichened fishermen's houses huddle around a pretty harbour. The cottage is ideal for couples and small families seeking a relaxed coastal break, with a village that retains all of its original character and beauty. The sandy harbour beach is 60 metres away – perch on the harbour wall with a picnic and watch the fishing boats bob on the horizon as the tide goes out. Art galleries line the village's narrow lanes, adding colour to any visit. The South West Coast Path runs through Mousehole, with Lamorna Cove accessible along the route for further coastal walking. The neighbouring village of Newlyn lies 2 miles along the coast, extending the range of places to eat, drink, and browse.

The front door opens into a spacious open-plan living room, dining area, and kitchen that flows across the ground floor. Exposed granite walls, beamed ceilings, and wooden flooring give the living space a strong sense of its cottage heritage, while the two-seater sofa, armchair, and cushioned window seat are arranged around a wood burner – ideal for cosy evenings. An ottoman and TV complete the sitting area. The dining area sits alongside, with an extendable wooden table, three chairs, and a second cushioned window seat with built-in storage beneath. The hand-built kitchen beyond is fully equipped for self-catering. On the first floor, the master bedroom has a king-size bed with floating bedside tables and pendant lamps, plus a full-length mirror and hooks for hanging clothes. The second bedroom has two single beds – one elevated – with reading lamps and generous drawer storage. A family shower room on this floor serves both bedrooms, with a walk-in rainfall shower, underfloor heating, and WC.

The cottage has no private garden or outdoor space, but the sandy harbour beach is 60 metres away for fresh air and open ground. The property sits on a cobbled village street with narrow lanes around the entrance. There is no private parking; two public car parks serve the harbour area, with charges applicable
