Above the noise

Harrow Hill climbs from the back of Old Quay to the chapel and stops. The lanes are cobbled, the houses are stone, and almost every garden is walled, so you hear the neighbourhood more than you see it.

It is the coolest place in summer and the first to get the morning sun. Houses are compact and well built, and the few larger ones sit at the top with views down to the bay.

Worth knowing

Deliveries come by hand truck on the two steepest lanes. Ask us which ones before you fall for a house.
