" IN THE OWNER‘S WORDS
When we decided to return to live in Looe, we particularly chose the Listowel Drive area. We had friends locally, and we were attracted by the wonderful sea views, and the peace and tranquillity. As well as our lovely home, we have a separate apartment that provides good income, and is available for family and friends. We have great neighbours, local shops, and a choice of three nearby beaches. Just a short walk takes us to Looe town, with a community of shops, pubs and restaurants. And there is no shortage of great walks.

PROPERTY
This attractive duplex property provides a fine home with income potential or two lettings units under the same roof. Located very near the coastline in Looe, there are sea views from the property and the town, harbour and beach are within easy reach.
The apartments are identical in layout with two good sized double bedrooms each, all with views towards the sea. Both sitting rooms are of generous dimensions being 17‘4 x 15‘11 each and are triple aspect. The ground floor sitting room opens into a conservatory which overlooks the gardens. The kitchens are similar in layout and include an integral electric hob with extractor over, built in fridge freezers and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Downstairs, the kitchen has a modern aesthetic with white gloss handleless cabinets that include a dishwasher and integral microwave. Finally each apartment has a bathroom and secondary cloakroom.
Outside the gardens wrap around the house to three sides. The majority of the garden is laid to lawn with mature hedges on the boundary. There is a double garage and driveway behind which there is a patio area which has been created for the private use of the upstairs apartment.
The layout of this house allows for comfortable living with the benefit of an income producing property as well. Alternatively it might be an ideal multi generational home with two, two bedroom homes with nice gardens in a popular and quiet residential area.

SURROUNDING AREAS
The twin towns of East and West Looe face each other across a river and are joined by a bridge with 7 arches dating from the early 19th century. With narrow streets and a medieval guildhall now a delightful museum, the towns are home to the second largest fishing fleet in Cornwall. and it goes without saying that
the area in general is a haven for boating, fishing and water sports. To the front of the town is the beach, great for families, with lots of rock pools to explore, separated from the Looe River by the Banjo Pier. There is also an international championship golf course at nearby St. Mellion.
The maritime City of Plymouth is just 15 miles distant with mainline railway station and air links to London.
