The owner’s accommodation also interconnects via a lockable door to the guest accommodation hallway which is situated at the side of the building. Due to the change in ground levels externally, the guests enter at ground floor level and ascend to one of three double, en-suite letting B&B bedrooms. The property is approached from the road to a gravelled parking area with off-road parking for up to six vehicles also incorporating an attractive sitting area in one corner and in the opposite corner a triangle of garden with well planted flower and shrub beds and a detached timber garden shed. The property is beautifully presented throughout having been continually improved by the current owner and the business has been enhanced although the accounts reflect the considerable amount of money that has been invested back into the building and the business. All the furniture and the fixtures/fittings equipment to run the business are available by separate negotiation as is the stock at the time of sale. This is the perfect business for somebody looking for an income and residence combined. The B&B/letting bedrooms are currently registered with Booking.com and Airbnb. The premises also holds a full alcohol licence and music licence. LOCATION Set right at the entrance of the picturesque and charming fishing village of Polperro on the Cornish riviera coast, Millys enjoys an extremely prominent position which is perfect for its trade as virtually everybody entering the village has to walk past it to go in or out. The opposite side of the roundabout at the entrance to the village is the main huge municipal car park where the vast majority of visitors and many locals alike will end up parking, all of whom will then walk past Millys in order to gain access to the village. Millys enjoys parking for up to six vehicles which is at a premium in the village and many of the properties do not enjoy parking facilities. Polperro is a quaint fishing village on the south Cornish coast which has an attractive harbour around which is a huddle of historic stone buildings associated with the fishing trade and a huddle of fisherman’s cottages. As the village spreads out the fisherman’s cottages give way to larger detached houses of mixed period from the 1920’s through to modern day providing a wide variety of full time and holiday residences. Polperro still has an active fishing fleet and excellent community with the harbour catering for the fishing fleet and pleasure/sailing craft alike, the village has numerous pubs, restaurants and local shops, sufficient to cater for day to day needs and there are beautiful scenic coastal walks following the South West Coastal Footpath on both sides of the village with much of the coastal land being under the stewardship of the National Trust. The larger town of Looe is a short drive away sitting astride the Looe River also providing a further array of shops and another fishing fleet and moorings within the safe confines of the
