Little Watch House

The moment you step inside Little Watch House, the architecture reveals itself: a reverse-level design where the structure is built around panoramic sea views stretching from Looe Island to Rame Head. Large windows and lengthy balconies frame the outlook at every turn, making the view itself feel like another room. The property sleeps five across three bedrooms—two kingsize and one twin—with two bathrooms, one en-suite. Electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are included; heating comes from oil central heating.

The kitchen sits on the ground floor with an electric oven and hob, dishwasher and washing machine, opening to a south-facing garden and balcony. A second living room on the lower ground floor also has direct access outside. The property is yours alone, with private parking for three cars and a clifftop garden with furniture, though the steep paths mean children need supervising. No smoking inside.

Torpoint sits on the quieter stretch of coast between Looe and Plymouth, away from the busier tourist hotspots. Looe itself—a split fishing village with the river running between east and west—is close by, as is Looe Island for day trips in summer. The railway still runs to the fish quays, and this corner of South East Cornwall has surprisingly good surf.
