On sale with Auction House South West, with a guide price of £100,000, this show-stopping property offers incredible waterfront views and coastal adventures from the moment you step outside.
Fuchsia Cottage, Portloe, Cornwall
Positioned on the hills of the fishing village of Portloe, this incredible two-bedroom home offers unbeatable views into the harbour and out to sea.

Offering incredible sea views, a courtyard garden, spacious living areas, high spec kitchen and two ensuite bedrooms, the cottage would make a lavish getaway or a picturesque permanent home.
With a guide price of £395,000, Fuchsia Cottage goes up for sale by livestream auction with Auction House South West on Tuesday, 12th September.
Hillside, Westray, Orkney
Found on the northern Orkney Isles, this one-acre plot is on sale with Auction House Scotland, with an unbelievable guide price of just £39,000.

For one lucky bidder willing to take on the work, the rewards could be huge, with Hillside offering uninterrupted views over farmland, out to sea and beyond to the neighbouring islands.
Known as 'The Queen of the Isles' the island is home to some of Orkney’s most spectacular scenery thanks to its jaw-dropping coastline.
