A unique cottage with unbeatable coastal views has come up for sale in the heart of Plymouth Hoe.
Built into the rocks of the iconic waterfront, the one-bedroom period property is set to be auctioned next month, with a tempting guide price of £100,000.
The charming waterfront cottage offers stunning panoramic views of Plymouth Hoe and The Sound and would make an ideal private retreat or holiday let investment.
Located just below Hoe Road, in the heart of one of the most iconic areas in Plymouth, Rock Cottage will be sold to the highest bidder in a livestream auction hosted by Auction House South West.
The property can be found to the west of Plymouth’s historic Hoe, a focal point for the city with its breath-taking views across the famous Sound. As well as being home to one of the world’s great natural harbours, the area is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike thanks to sites including the Royal Citadel, Smeaton’s Tower lighthouse and the restored 1935 art deco Tinside Lido.
Somewhat of a landmark itself, Rock Cottage is a well-known fixture on the sea front, built into the rocks next to the Wet Wok Chinese restaurant. The one-of-a-kind cottage is thought to have been built in the late 1800s and is advertised as a “rare opportunity to purchase a truly unique property.”
Enjoying undisturbed harbour views, the one-bedroom property is accessed by a set of steps to the side of the coffee shop, Ocean City Snacks. A courtyard area leads to the entrance porch of Rock Cottage, and stepping into the home you’ll find surprisingly spacious and modern living areas.
Spread across two floors, a large sitting room with a feature fireplace can be found on the first floor, along with the kitchen. Upstairs is the master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a modern bathroom with three-piece suite.
Auction House say that prospective new owners will need to take on some remedial damp work and redecoration, but a quick look out the windows makes it easy to visualise Rock Cottage’s true potential.
With its prime positioning, this show-stopping property offers incredible coastal views, and waterfront adventures from the moment you step outside.
Rock Cottage goes up for sale by livestream auction with Auction House South West on Tuesday 12th September.
