Louvain is an extremely stylish, recently refurbished, five bedroom house located just 150 metres from the cove in the much sought after fishing village of Cadgwith.
Louvain was built 1915 by the Mitchel's and remained in the family for 105 years until purchased by the current owners in 2020. Since then the property has undergone a complete refurbishment creating a extremely stylish reverse level five bedroom detached property with fabulous sea views. It has been used as a holiday home but would also make a fabulous family home.

Immediately on the left is a double bedroom with a large box bay window with an en suite wet room with an Aroko wood floor, rainfall shower, vanity unit and WC. On the right is a further double room with a box bay window with views over the front garden and the cove. There are two further double bedrooms one overlooking the rear garden and the other the rear courtyard.
