Grade II Cottage in Mousehole

Jamaica Terrace is a carefully appointed historic Grade II listed cottage tucked in the heart of Mousehole, just short a stroll from the harbour front. A perfect home for couples and single travellers, you'll be enjoying fabulous sea views from the moment you wake up each day. With a sympathetic yet complete refurbishment retaining iconic and interesting features, such as the range in the kitchen or the wood panelling in the bathroom, you'll be charmed by the history of the area and home. The space 1 Jamaica Terrace is tucked away in the heart of Mousehole, just a short walk from everything this charming village has to offer. A local shipwright, Henry Wright, who traded in Jamaica, built the cottage in 1835, hence the name of this small terrace of cottages. A characterful granite cottage with wonderful sea views from the living room and bedroom, towards St Christopher's Isle and Mounts Bay beyond. In a very quiet area of the village in an area best accessed on foot, you'll find all the amenities in short walking distance from pubs, cafes, restaurants, galleries and a small local shop. The harbour beach is a 1 minute walk. As you enter Jamaica Terrace you'll instantly note historic features, like the range in the kitchen, kitchen tiles and the narrow/steep staircase. The kitchen and lounge area are on the ground floor. The kitchen is equipped with a modern electric oven and hob, washing machine, crockery, utensils and a small dining table for two. The cosy lounge has comfortable seating, a wood burner for cosy evenings, table and chairs, TV and a large window with lovely views. Head upstairs and you'll find the bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom features a king size bed, chest of drawers, hanger, dressing table and a fabulous window seat to while away some time with a book. And did we mention the views? This is the best spot in the house in our opinion. The spacious bathroom is a favourite feature of ours. The roll top bath (with overhead shower), stunning paint choices, original wood panelling and choices of fixtures make this a stunning space for a soak and relax. Please note the following: The stairs are steep and narrow. The property has a sprinkler system in the kitchen to provide additional safety in the event of a fire. Parking is not provided, we recommend either the Harbour or Mousehole Car Park on the edge of the village. (The train to Penzance and then a bus or taxi to the village is a great way to arrive). Unloading isn't possible outside, we'd recommend walking from the car parks with luggage (5 minute walk). Guest access Mousehole is a lovely neighbourhood with a strong local community. With a history as a fishing village the harbour is the focal point of the village.
