Sunny Corner, Port Isaac, PL29

Hidden away off a narrow street along a small cobbled path in the heart of this quaint and picturesque fishing village is Sunny Corner, a Grade II listed two hundred year old fishermans cottage built into a bank with traditional Cornish stone façade.

This sweet cottage has a unique and lovely character and boasts beamed ceilings and slate floors amongst its many charming original features.

Neutral in decoration with whitewashed walls, original flag slate floors and beamed ceilings, the current owners have worked hard to retain the cottages’ special character during recent renovation and modernisation works.

The end cottage in a terrace of three, Sunny Corner is approached over the south facing slate paved terrace which is perfect for outdoor dining morning or evening. In through the stable door to a small lobby from where the bathroom is accessed and straight in the open plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Original slate flags, sliding sash windows and a combination of painted stone walls and wood panelling set the tone around the central staircase with the lounge and kitchen on either side. The modern shaker style kitchen has a range of floor cabinets, a ceramic Belfast sink, electric oven and hob, slimline dishwasher and oak block work surfaces. The alcove to the right is believed to have once been a fireplace and now conveniently houses the washing machine. There is ample space for a dining room table and chairs.
