Polperro, Cornwall
Residents of this ancient fishing village, four miles west of Looe, have been working the waters since the 13th century. The idyllic square harbour is nestled at the base of the cliff with houses dotted around the cliff face. This two-bedroom cottage has a one-bedroom, self-contained annexe. The double-aspect living room and decked terrace have views of the rooftops of the lower village, the harbour and the sea. It has been sensitively renovated with low exposed beams whitewashed. It is just 250 metres from the South West Coast Path. £600,000. Rohrs & Rowe, 01872 306 360
