3, The Lugger, Truro, TR2 5HE

There are homes that simply occupy a wonderful position, and then there are homes like 3 The Lugger.

Rarely does a property become available that captures the very essence of coastal Cornwall so completely.

Perched above one of the county's most picturesque harbours, the outlook is nothing short of extraordinary, with uninterrupted views sweeping across Gerrans Bay to Nare Head and the ever-changing silhouette of Gull Rock.

From first light to the last glow of sunset, the sea provides a constantly changing masterpiece that will never cease to captivate.

Steeped in character and authenticity, this beautiful four-bedroom Cornish fisherman's cottage has evolved into a warm and welcoming home where every room feels connected to the coast beyond.

Large windows frame breathtaking views, while the generous accommodation offers a wonderful balance of comfort, charm and practicality for everyday living, memorable family holidays or an exceptional second home.

The garden is, quite simply, spectacular-a gardener’s dream and an established, beautifully matured landscape.

Rising in graceful tiers behind the cottage, a series of thoughtfully designed terraces draw you through richly layered planting, vibrant borders, and quiet, secluded seating areas.

Each level reveals a fresh perspective of the coastline, encouraging moments of pause to take in one of the finest panoramas on the Roseland Peninsula.

There is a workshop and shed, both well-positioned to take in the exceptional outlook.

From here, yachts glide across the bay, storms gather on the horizon, and moonlight shimmers across the water long after sunset-an ever-changing seascape that makes this one of the most captivating viewpoints in the village.

Inside, the accommodation flows effortlessly, offering a welcoming sitting room, separate dining room, well-appointed kitchen, family bathroom and separate WC, while four bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation for family and guests alike.

Two of the bedrooms wake to glorious sea views, ensuring the beauty of this remarkable setting is never far from sight. Properties of this calibre are exceptionally rare.

This is far more than a charming period cottage.

It is a front-row seat to one of Cornwall's most spectacular coastal landscapes, a place where the rhythm of the tides, the sound of the harbour and the ever-changing colours of the sea become part of everyday life.

For those seeking something genuinely special, something that simply cannot be recreated or replicated, 3 The Lugger represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an iconic home in one of Cornwall's most treasured waterfront settings.
