5 Bed Detached House, Refurb/BRRR, Penzance, TR19 6PT £925,000

The Property - Set in an enviable elevated position within the historic fishing village of Mousehole, Trevethoe Villa is a fine example of Victorian architecture, offering generous proportions, elegant period features, and breathtaking sea views. With its rich maritime heritage and spacious, flexible accommodation, the property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark home that has not been offered for sale in over half a century. This substantial detached villa, believed to have been built in the 1860s, enjoys commanding views across Mount’s Bay, reaching as far as Lizard Point. Retaining many original features including traditional joinery, decorative cornicing and a handsome staircase, the property is brimming with character and coastal charm.

The ground floor is arranged around a wide and welcoming central hallway, which sets the tone for the rest of the house. To the front of the property, a beautifully proportioned dining room and a spacious lounge both enjoy large bay windows, perfectly framing the southerly sea views. These bright and elegant reception rooms provide ideal spaces for entertaining or simply enjoying the ever-changing coastal light.

To the rear of the house, a cosy snug and an additional sitting room offer more informal living spaces, while a rear extension houses a well-proportioned kitchen, utility area, walk-in pantry, and a ground floor WC – offering practical family living without compromising on style.

The traditional staircase rises to a half landing with a bathroom and continues on to a generous first-floor landing, where natural light streams in and views open up towards the sea. The principal bedroom is a standout feature of the home, offering a sense of calm and space, with magnificent panoramic sea views. Three further double bedrooms offer a variety of aspects – from sea and countryside views to charming village rooftops.

Outside - The gardens at Trevethoe Villa extend to three sides of the property, offering a peaceful and beautifully planted setting in which to enjoy the outstanding coastal surroundings. The standout feature is undoubtedly the uninterrupted views across the bay, which can be enjoyed from various vantage points in both the front and side gardens. The grounds are thoughtfully landscaped with a mix of mature shrubs, established planting, and fruit trees, creating a colourful and naturalistic environment. Areas of lawn provide generous space for outdoor entertaining, al fresco dining, or simply relaxing while taking in the panoramic sea views.

To the rear of the property is a private driveway providing off-road parking for one to two vehicles, as well as a detached garage, offering useful storage or workshop potential.

Renovation - The property would benefit from a programme of renovation and modernisation, offering an exciting opportunity for buyers to restore and enhance this impressive period home. For further information or to arrange a viewing, please contact Stags West Cornwall
