Wharf House

Kitchen and Pantry

An amalgamation of white cabinetry, exposed timber and industrial accents, Wharf House’s kitchen sits at the heart of the open plan living space. At its centre, a deep blue island becomes the gathering point for family breakfasts and celebratory toasts, paired with a Smeg induction hob* and double Bosch dishwashers. Well-equipped for both home cooks and private chefs, you’ll also find a Bosch fridge and a Smeg oven tucked neatly into the run of cabinetry. 

Overhead, an industrial-style suspended rack showcases vintage cookware, while behind the sink, a striking rust splashback gives a nod to Mousehole’s rockpools that await just beyond the window. 

Hidden at the back of the kitchen, the blush-hued pantry is complete with all the essentials. A Nespresso Magimix coffee machine, Smeg combi oven and an under-counter Bosch fridge and freezer are ready for morning routines, while a built-in bar awaits for mojito prep.  

*Please note that guests with pacemakers should avoid using the induction hob as this can interfere with the device.

Dining and Living Area 

Capturing uninterrupted views across Mousehole Harbour, the living and dining area completes the first floor. Naturally extending the social space, this area sits beneath high beamed ceilings and is lit by an array of rattan lampshades. In the centre is a wooden farmhouse table which invites 10 guests to settle in for supper, and a pink dresser sits close by, brimming with Cornishware.  

Tying the spaces together is the wood burner. Framed by hand-painted blue and white tiles, and with two tan leather armchairs nearby, it becomes the focal point once night falls. Additional seating comes in the form of a large striped sofa, a hanging bubble chair and two built-in window seats that overlook glistening waters at high tide, or golden beach at low tide. Made out of the carpenter's bench from the original cottage's workshop (now the ground floor snug), the large coffee table grounds the space. With the fire lit, the sun setting, and the red wine poured, there’s no better place to share tales of past and present.  

Master Bedroom with En-suite and Dressing Room

A show-stopping hideout with frontline harbour views, this former study is now a tranquil retreat come night-time. Wraparound bookshelves with a rolling ladder and vintage hardbacks encase the super king bed, while a window seat invites quiet wave-watching every morning. Dusty blues and high timbered beams lend a timeless charm, while the bold striped ceiling adds a contemporary edge as soon as you walk in.

The accompanying en-suite features a freestanding bath tub and a waterfall shower, plus ample under-sink storage. Echoing the home’s layered design, it blends rich blues and vibrant oranges throughout. In the sunken dressing room, you'll find vintage mirrors and a reclaimed dressing table that complete the space and make morning routines all the more luxurious.

Bedroom Two with En-suite 

Bathed in natural light thanks to dual-aspect windows, bedroom two is a dreamy space finished in pale blues, dusty pinks and bold orange accents. A striped upholstered headboard frames the zip and link super king bed, set beneath colourful woven lampshades. Guests can enjoy pretty views over the courtyard garden, while vintage bedside tables, built-in shelving and a generous wardrobe provide plenty of storage.

The en-suite is revealed through coral-framed glass doors, where a checkerboard blue-tiled floor leads to a freestanding stainless steel bath – perfectly placed for harbour views.  

WC 

Adorned with a nostalgic collection of postcards salvaged from the original cottage, this powder room is affectionately known as the “postcard loo” and serves those using the first floor living space.
