A Private Coastal Landmark With Panoramic Views Across Looe, The Harbour, River And SeaA Landmark Home Above the Coast Set high above the enchanting harbour town of Looe, Wespenton is more than a home. It is an experience. Recently transformed with a refined contemporary vision, this exceptional Victorian residence effortlessly balances timeless character with modern indulgence. Commanding arguably one of the finest vantage points in the area, the house captures an extraordinary 180 degree panorama, where the river meanders toward the horizon and the sea shimmers endlessly beyond. From golden sunrise reflections to dramatic coastal sunsets, the outlook is nothing short of captivating. Tucked away in a peaceful elevated position, private and not overlooked, yet just a few minutes’ walk from the heart of East Looe and access to the South West Coast Path, the setting offers both seclusion and immediate connection to this much loved coastal town, recently brought into the spotlight as a filming location for the hit BBC series Beyond Paradise.

The main living space opens seamlessly onto a sun drenched terrace, an idyllic setting for relaxed mornings or evening gatherings overlooking the water. At the heart of the home, a fully fitted AEG kitchen pairs classic shaker cabinetry with sleek quartz surfaces, premium integrated appliances and a sociable central island. Hidden layers of the house reveal further luxuries, including a characterful wine store with exposed stone, a well appointed utility space and a private cinema room, perfect for immersive evenings and entertaining. Private Retreats and Refined Comfort Upstairs, the accommodation unfolds with equal elegance. The principal suite is a sanctuary in itself, complete with a Juliette balcony that frames the estuary like a living painting, alongside a dressing area and indulgent en suite. Guest suites and additional bedrooms continue the theme of understated luxury, while the bathrooms, many featuring spa like elements such as jacuzzi bathing, are finished to an exceptional standard with underfloor heating throughout, with radiators to bedroom floors. Annexe Living with Endless Possibilities Positioned above the garage, the detached annexe offers a fully independent living space, ideal for guests, extended family or lifestyle flexibility. With its own open plan kitchen, dining and living area, the space flows onto a private south facing roof terrace, where panoramic views stretch across rooftops, water and sky. A double bedroom with en suite completes this sophisticated retreat. Beneath the adjoining gym lies a unique opportunity, with infrastructure already in place for a resistance swimming pool, offering future wellness potential rarely found in coastal homes. Grounds and Arrival Behind secure electric gates, the property reveals a generous driveway, heated double garage and a striking electric car turntable, blending practicality with cutting edge convenience. The terraced gardens are thoughtfully landscaped, featuring over 50 species of trees, shrubs, plants and flowers, creating a rich and ever changing outdoor environment.
