WILCOVE Wilcove is a small coastal village in Cornwall. It is situated one mile north of Torpoint and one mile west of Plymouth, across the body of water known as the Hamoaze, the tidal estuary of the River Tamar. Wilcove is in the civil parish of Antony and has the benefit of a local pub, The Wilcove Inn with a good reputation for cuisine. The recently constructed village hall and nearby children's playground which are very much the heartbeat of the village was built and funded by the villagers which demonstrates the level of community spirit that makes Wilcove such an attractive place to live. It is probably no surprise therefore that Wilcove recently won ?500 after winning the best kept village competition sponsored by the Cornwall branch of the campaign to protect rural England. TORPOINT Torpoint is a civil Parish and town on the Rame Peninsula in South East Cornwall opposite the city of Plymouth across the Hamoaze which is the tidal estuary of the River Tamar. Torpoint has a population currently in the region of 9000.

Easily accessible to Devonport Dockyard, the town is also the home of the Royal Navy's main training facility HMS Raleigh. As well as a full range of amenities, Torpoint Infant School, Carbeile Junior School and Torpoint Community College provide a full platform of education. Twinned with Bonodet in Brittany, Torpoint is an 18th Century planned town and was commissioned by Reginald Pole Carew in the Parish of Antony in 1774. The family continue to have a strong influence in the area and reside at nearby, National Trust property, Antony House setting for the recently Hollywood Block Buster movie Alice in Wonderland. Torpoint gives access to the beautiful surrounding countryside including waterside delights such as the twinned villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, Cremyll, Mount Edgcumbe and Maker, Millbrook, Seaton and Downderry. SITUATION Plymouth is a city adjacent to one of the most natural harbours in the world.

Brittany Ferries operates seasonal services from Plymouth to France and Northern Spain.
DESCRIPTION This Grade II Listed end of terrace cottage is thought to have been constructed circa 1800, however, the deeds suggest that a dwelling existed on this site as far back as 1698. The current property, constructed of slate stone rubble and slate hung to the front and sides, is thought to have been extended circa 1900. This beautiful cottage sits on the banks of the Hamoaze, the tidal estuary of the River Tamar and consequently enjoys uninterrupted water views with the water lapping at the garden wall. The southerly facing front garden which has been landscaped and laid to patio and deck is a particularly enviable position to enjoy both the sunshine and the idyllic outlook. The view is also assured from the master and second bedrooms along with the living room and dining room, whilst the rear garden, which is substantial, is elevated above the cottage and consequently delivers outstanding water views, a benefit that the previous owners have capitilised on by positioning a summer house towards the rear of the plot. Quietly tucked away in this tranquil backwater within the popular hamlet of Wilcove, the accommodation includes an entrance porch, dining room, fitted kitchen, sitting room, rear porch, utility area and WC, two bedrooms, study/occasional bedroom three and a bathroom. Character features include an exposed stone wall in the sitting room, revealed lintels and beams, whilst the windows have been modernised sensitively with the installation of double glazed sash style sealed units. Gas central heating warms the cottage which boasts an outstanding galley kitchen with polished granite worktops, a range style cooker with extractor hood over and integrated dishwasher, fridge and freezer. The dining room and kitchen floors are finished in high quality Karndean floor coverings whilst the living room has a gas fired burner as a focal point. The master bedroom is equipped with fitted wardrobes and has a period fireplace, whilst the modern bathroom suite is fully tiled and includes a Jacuzzi style bath with shower over. At the end of the private access lane there is a residents turning area which gives access to four large single garages, the middle of which forms part of 2 Pato Point. Favourable reisents mooring rates are available via the local village moorings committee. Planning permission lapsed in 2010 for an extension which would have increased the accommodation to include an additional bedroom, bathroom and reception hall.
