LOCATION
Polperro is a unique and unspoilt fishing village clinging to the steep, green, hillsides of the South East Cornish coast. This beautiful sheltered harbour has been home to a small fishing fleet since medieval times, as it is today, with a mild climate and stunning scenery and views, it is rightly recognised as an artist's paradise.
The narrow intertwined streets, hark to a bygone era, the sheltered and historic harbour is ringed by numerous restaurants, galleries and pubs. This sheltered and protected haven remains enduringly popular with holiday makers and those looking for a holiday home and residence with a strong, thriving and vibrant community and active social scene.
Historically, whilst fishing was traditionally the principal occupation of Polperro families, smuggling was rife and prospered since Polperro developed as a port in the 12th century. As you wander the streets, you can believe the local legends. Today you can explore with the South West Coast Path running past the front door of this beautiful property. The path was originally built for Revenue Officers as they patrolled the coast in search of illusive smugglers. The scenery in this part of Cornwall is remarkably unspoilt, rugged and beautiful and the area is thought to be one of the most scenic stretches in the county.
