Set high up in the seaside village on the south Cornish coast, Fuchsia Cottage will be sold to the highest bidder in a livestream auction hosted by Auction House South West.
The redeveloped fisherman’s cottage offers unbeatable views into the harbour and out to sea. The property has most recently been used as a holiday let, enjoying great success as a boutique retreat, boasting coastal bliss and cottage charm. Described as the “perfect bolthole” Fuchsia Cottage would make a charming getaway or a picturesque permanent home.

The master ensuite is the height of luxury with its cast iron roll top bath and chic Jack and Jill sink.
