The Old Bank House

About this property

The Old Bank House is a superb Grade II listed cottage, thoughtfully converted from a former bank and set in the heart of Mevagissey. Perfect for families or friends this reverse-level three-storey abode boasts an open fire, proximity to the harbour and local amenities and is pet-friendly.Once the home of Mevagissey’s first bank, this impressive village‑centre building has been carefully renovated to a high standard, blending period character with modern comfort to create an inviting Cornish holiday retreat. Set over three floors and just 100 yards from the harbour, the property retains a wealth of original features that reflect its heritage, adding depth and charm throughout. The bedrooms are mainly arranged across the ground and second floors, providing quiet spaces to unwind, while the main living accommodation is positioned on the first floor, creating a stylish and sociable hub for spending time together. The exquisite dining room is a particular highlight, featuring parquet flooring, panelled walls and a glazed ceiling that fills the space with natural light, all overlooked by a balcony from the second floor above. Step outside and find the harbour, pubs and restaurants of Mevagissey just a short stroll away, where you can wander to the water’s edge to watch fishermen unload their catch, explore the narrow streets clustered around the quay or follow the coastal path along the headland. Further afield, enjoy walks to the Lost Gardens of Heligan, discover the Eden Project, spend time in the cathedral city of Truro or uncover the beaches and gentle scenery of the Roseland Peninsula. After days spent exploring harbour paths and Cornish coastlines, return to The Old Bank House to relax by the fire and enjoy life at the heart of Mevagissey.

The perfect Cornish fishing village, with winding cobbled streets and a picturesque harbour full of boats. Stunning walks lead along the coast in both directions, with sandy beaches, high cliffs and hidden coves to explore. The village has an excellent selection of pubs and restaurants, whilst just up the road are the Lost Gardens of Heligan. A ferry from Mevagissey to Fowey also runs daily between Easter and September. Spend some time at the Tall Ships harbour at Charlestown (7 miles) with its shipwreck museum, or among the tropical biomes of the world-famous Eden Project (11 miles). The stunning coastline, fabulous beaches and renowned gardens of the beautiful Roseland Peninsula are a short drive down the coast while Truro, with its shops, restaurants, theatre and cathedral can be reached by car in half an hour.
