Pol Glen is a contemporary well appointed town house, situated in an elevated position, conveniently close to the town car parking area, yet only a short stroll away from the centre of the vibrant village and bustling harbour. Its sunny front terrace is a good place to relax and look across the front garden watching the world go by. Polperro itself has a plethora of atmosphere in abundance and the property provides an ideal base from which to explore Cornwall, with its rugged coastline, secret coves and miles of cliff top walks. The village has numerous inns as well as excellent restaurants and interesting shops, it is very easy to spend many pleasant hours at the quayside or the nearby beach watching the comings and goings of this traditional fishing port. Pol Glen is an ideal family holiday home where, you will want to return again and again.
2 steps from the road then 7 Steps lead up to a gentle slope through the front garden to the front door.
The sun terrace runs in front of the house with a teak garden table and chairs. There are two grassed areas to the front of the property one sloped and one flat, either side of the entrance pathway.
Please Note: The lower front garden has no fencing, so children must be supervised as this is a raised lawned area above the road.
The traditional fishing village of Polperro, set along the dramatic South Cornish coastline between Looe and Fowey, is steeped in maritime history. Wandering its pretty, narrow, winding streets offers a nostalgic taste of times gone by.
For centuries local families here were reliant on “Polperro pilchards” which were sold right across Europe. Nowadays, there is still an active fishing fleet but their catch is more varied. You can sample their wares in a number of local restaurants, pubs and cafes, or simply sit back and watch the fishermen at work in the harbour as you tuck into a fresh crab sandwich.
Polperro has an abundance of small, twisting lanes, most of which are simply not wide enough for modern vehicles. Some are little wider than footpaths, so leave your car in the main car park at Crumplehorn and from here you can walk, catch the bus or even take a horse and cart the half mile down into the village. The traffic-free zones allow you to explore the winding alleys of whitewashed fishermen’s cottages at your leisure.
It’s easy to imagine the hustle and bustle of people with loaded horse & carts rumbling past during Polperro’s smuggling heyday, or the scores of ladies lining the streets nimbly knitting fishermen’s jumpers, known locally as “knit-frocks”. On the harbour-side you can visit the Polperro Heritage Museum of Fishing and Smuggling to immerse yourself more fully in Polperro’s rich history.
The village and harbour are best seen at high tide, but at low tide, a small beach appears so it’s possible to go for a paddle. The picturesque South West Coast Path runs right through the Polperro. If you walk east along the coast you’ll reach the beautiful Talland Bay, or alternatively hop in your car to visit other nearby sandy beaches including Seaton, Downderry, Lansallos and Lantic Bay. Regular boat trips run from the harbour offering fantastic views of the coastline and day trips to nearby Looe, and you might even spot dolphins and seals on your way!
A holiday cottage in Polperro offers a wonderfully traditional seaside escape on the dramatic South East Cornish coast.
