About this home
Believed to have been built around 1800, this remarkable three-storey home is rich in character and deeply connected to Newlyn’s maritime heritage. The lower basement level, once used for processing and storing pilchards, offers a fascinating glimpse into the property’s historic past. The house is in the oldest part of Newlyn, in a street once the haunt of the Newlyn School painters. Set over three floors, the layout provides both flexibility and sea views from multiple rooms. On the ground floor, you’ll find a well-appointed kitchen, a shower room, and a bedroom that enjoys views out to the water. The first floor is home to a truly spectacular living room, featuring a vaulted ceiling and impressive sea views that fill the space with light and character. The lower ground floor includes a bedroom with sea views, a bathroom, utility area, and a versatile studio or snug room. The current owner has successfully let the ground-floor and first-floor rooms on Airbnb making the property an appealing option for those seeking a home with proven income potential. Located on Boase Street in the heart of Newlyn, the house is just a short walk from the village centre.
