Alvaston

Tucked into the hillside and overlooking the River Looe in South East Cornwall, is this neat, three-storey holiday home. This property is a good choice for those who want tranquillity and to be close to the sea. Looe town centre is 350 metres away and is a working fishing port. Try your hand at crabbing from the quayside or book a boat trip out to Looe Island and spend the day spotting grey seals, nesting birds, and butterflies. Looe also has a sandy beach that is 0.5 miles away and from here, walkers can pick up the South West Coast Path. After a day of activity, return to the harbour and feast on freshly caught fish at one of the excellent seafood restaurants.

The interiors of this home have been designed with comfort in mind with soft furnishings, carpeted floors, and ambient lighting. On the ground floor is a spacious, bedroom featuring a king-size bed and en-suite shower room. It also has a large window that invites you to stop and stare at the river views. From here, stairs lead up to the open-plan lounge and dining room. Sink into the sofa with a good book or simply sit beside the electric fire and soak up the views of the river. The lounge overlooks a dining area featuring a glass-topped table with seating for six people, while a separate kitchen offers plenty of space for preparing meals. The remaining bedrooms are located on the second floor and feature double and twin beds. The bold carpet adds a splash of colour to the rooms while homely touches include floral cushions, framed artwork on the walls, and pinewood furniture. River views can also be enjoyed from the twin bedroom, and a bathroom can be found on this floor.

Outside, you can enjoy the peaceful surroundings in the rear garden. Start the morning listening to the birdsong while gazing at the water or sit out the front and watch the comings and goings of the boats in Looe Harbour.
