This three-storey Victorian semi-detached house is on the market for the first time in 40 years. Situated on West Street, which runs parallel to the waterfront, it has steps down from the terrace to the quay. There is also an old boathouse with power and the potential to be developed. To the front there's an annexe, which could provide a fourth bedroom. On the ground floor, the drawing room has a window seat and fireplace, and steps up into the dining room and kitchen. All the main rooms and stone terraces have views of Fowey harbour. £1.5m. Knight Frank, 01392 848 839 Photograph: Knight Frank

Overlooking the harbour, with views across the River Dart, is a three-bedroom apartment in a Grade II-listed building. The block dates from 1893, and has Elizabethan-style timber framing and balustrade balconies. The flat is set mostly on the first floor with a study or playroom on the second. The interiors reflect the period style – ornate cornicing, ceiling roses and sash windows. The main reception room is open-plan and dual-aspect with balconies on two sides of the flat. Royal Avenue Gardens is a couple of minutes' walk away. £825,000. Strutt & Parker, 01392 248 137 Photograph: Strutt & Parker/BNPS
Sitting back from the harbour wall, in a string of terraced houses, is a five-bedroom period property. Run as a holiday let, the interiors are painted in a neutral palette with whitewashed wooden floorboards and views out across the Firth of Forth to East Lothian. At the back is a patio and a lawned garden. Pittenweem is a fishing village on the East Neuk coastline, and it is a short walk to a bakery, a doctor's surgery and a post office, as well as plenty of pubs and cafes. Along the headland is the tidal pool and the Fife coastal path. £639,000. Rettie, 01334 237 700 Photograph: Rettie
In this heritage coast town and fishing port is a smart Georgian house, standing out in sky blue against the terrace of properties.

Two bedrooms are on the ground floor, the sitting room and adjoining kitchen on the first, and another bedroom on the second. There is a terrace to the front. £500,000. Savills, 01904 617 821
