Upper Chandlers Cottage is a characterful three-bedroom apartment, arranged over two floors with generous, light-filled accommodation, combining traditional features with a minimalist contemporary finish. Exposed floorboards, granite and roof timbers give the interiors a strong sense of the building’s origins, while the open-plan living spaces and sea-facing windows create a notably bright and spacious feel. Set in the heart of Mousehole, the property is just a short walk from the harbour, beaches and village amenities.
The principal living space is a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room extending to approximately 26'2" at its longest point. Two bay windows face across the village towards Mount’s Bay, while the room retains exposed timber floorboards and a whitewashed granite fireplace fitted with a cast-iron multi-fuel stove. The adjoining kitchen has a range of fitted units, solid oak work surfaces and integrated cooking appliances. Also on this level are bedroom two and the main bathroom, which includes both a panelled bath and separate double shower. Stairs lead to the principal bedroom, where exposed roof timbers and a pitched ceiling are complemented by an en-suite shower room and direct access onto the decked terrace.
Bedroom three is separately approached via a spiral staircase from the living area and also opens onto the terrace. Positioned between the two upper bedrooms, the terrace has a glass balustrade and views across the rooftops towards Mount’s Bay.
Upper Chandlers Cottage is situated within Mousehole’s Conservation Area, within walking distance of the harbour, beaches, restaurants and village amenities. Penzance is approximately three miles away, providing wider facilities and a mainline rail connection to London Paddington.
Mousehole is one of Cornwall’s most distinctive harbour villages, known for its narrow granite lanes, traditional cottages and sheltered harbour on the edge of Mount’s Bay. Despite its popularity, it retains a strong sense of place and an atmosphere deeply rooted in its fishing heritage. The village offers a good choice of cafés, pubs and restaurants, together with galleries, small independent shops and immediate access to the water. It also has a strong year-round community and remains one of the county’s most recognisable coastal settings.
The wider area is equally appealing. Nearby Penzance provides a broader range of amenities and a mainline rail connection, while Marazion, St Michael’s Mount, Newlyn and St Ives are all within easy reach. Coastal walking, sea swimming and access to beaches are all part of everyday life in this part of west Cornwall.
