The Tower House sits centrally within arguably one of Porthleven's most iconic buildings. Situated on Peverell Terrace, above the harbour, the tower is central to a row of former coastguard cottages. The property, said to have been built in 1866, is steeped in history with it once being home to Henry Trengrouse the inventor of the famous rocket lifesaving apparatus. More recently the property has undergone major modernisation and refurbishment.

The property has been in the same ownership since 2016 and has been used primarily as a second home with, when not used by the vendor, rented out as a holiday home with Porthleven Holiday Cottages.
