## Description

Chicago House rises 5 storeys from the hillside at the intersection of Rose Hill with both Dolphin Street and Back Lane within central Port Isaac on the beautiful North Cornish Coast. The house enjoys a variety of views either over the village or the Harbour towards Lobber point from the higher levels

Chicago House offers an exceptional opportunity to purchase a period and particularly spacious home in this most sought-after village, albeit requiring some updating and repair. As currently arranged, the house can be loosely divided at ground floor level if required to provide the upper accommodation of 4 bedrooms, 2 ensuite, family bathroom with large Kitchen Diner, separate Lounge and Balcony. The two lower floors provide Lounge Kitchen 2 Bedrooms and Bathroom.

Port Isaac is a very popular tourist destination with its picturesque working Harbour with breakwater easily reached at low tide and winding passageways and streets with Squeeze Belly Alley renowned as the nation’s narrowest amongst them.

The village is still a working fishing port with ancient fish cellars housing modern traders vending the boats daily catch to the public and supplying the plethora of eating establishments servicing both high end and more basic culinary requirements, locally and much further afield.

Port Isaac also plays home to both the fictional village of Port Wenn the location of the Doc Martin series and the real home of the ever-popular sea shanty ensemble, The Fisherman’s Friends, who if you are lucky, may be found having an impromptu session on the “Platt” near the Golden Lion Pub.

Chicago House, we understand was remodeled and extended from an original cottage by a former resident returning from the United States in the 19th century using the clapperboard style popular in the States.

A quick search online reveals Chicago House being in the ownership of the writer AN Wilson for many years, tenanted by Lawrence and Jacqui Llewellyn -Bowen. Also in second series of Doc Martin, it was the residence of “Louisa”, the local headmistress, Doc Martins love interest and future wife.

The house has its principal entrance on Rose Hill but also has entrance doors from both Dolphin Street and Back Lane to lower floors.

Chicago House has no parking although we are aware of the availability of a freehold garage or two in close proximity. The garage vendor is unconnected to the vendors of Chicago House. Further information is available on request.
