The Complete Complex with Development Potential

An idyllic and exceptionally private complex comprising seven cottages, with planning permission granted for two additional cottages, all situated on the outskirts of the highly sought-after sandy, family-friendly beach and the picturesque harbour town of Looe, Cornwall. The complex is set within two and a half acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, featuring two large, well-stocked fishing ponds, an all-weather tennis court, mature lawned and woodland areas, and a charming pet’s corner with chickens, ducks, goats, and geese. There is ample private parking for all residents, along with direct rail access via the property’s own private halt connecting to Looe town centre. Early viewings are highly recommended.

Location

The property enjoys excellent transport links, with convenient access to the A38 and A30. Direct rail travel is available to the on-site halt at Causeland Station, located along the scenic Looe Valley Line. This quiet, single-carriage service runs twice an hour and does not operate overnight, preserving the peace and tranquillity of the surroundings. The central location allows for car-free days out, with easy access to Cornwall’s major attractions by rail. Newquay and Padstow are approximately forty minutes away by car.

Business Overview

The complex is currently operated remotely by the owners and benefits from full residential planning consent for all existing cottages. This light-touch management structure provides an excellent and consistent rental income, with the properties occupied under Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) agreements. Due to the desirable offering, the cottages experience very low vacancy rates. A comprehensive handover will be provided to ensure a smooth transition to new ownership. Detailed income figures will be made available following a formal viewing.

The letting accommodation consists of both purpose-built and sympathetically converted period buildings, all maintained to a high standard. Each cottage enjoys private garden space.
