Set in the heart of Fowey, this three-storey cottage is perfectly placed to explore this exquisite fishing village, the Cornish Riviera and beyond. Take a boat trip to picturesque Polperro (7.5 miles) and Looe (12.5 miles) to try your hand at crabbing or savour the sumptuous seafood. Find beautiful beaches at Lantic Bay (4 miles), Par Sands (4.5 miles) and Carlyon Bay (7 miles), or take a picnic to Readymoney Cove (0.5 miles). See where Poldark was filmed at historic Charlestown (7.5 miles) and marvel at the Eden Project (7.5 miles) and the tranquil Lost Gardens of Heligan (15 miles). Explore the winding streets of Mevagissey (14 miles), the South West Coast Path and the circular Hall Walk around Fowey, which includes two ferry rides. Catch the Fowey Festival of Words and Music in May, and the Fowey Regatta in August.
Inside you’ll find a bright and welcoming interior, with plenty of chic touches. Gather in the expansive lounge/kitchen/diner, which features a streamlined, high-ceilinged kitchen with a breakfast bar, a dining area for four, and a comfy lounge with a TV and wood burner. The first floor is home to a double bedroom with an original, feature fireplace and front-aspect windows, a shower room with underfloor heating and the tranquil bathroom, with its lovely slipper bath. Climb to the second floor to find the master bedroom, with its king-size bed, exposed beams, and front and rear windows with sublime views across Fowey to the estuary; it’s the perfect place to unwind with a book and a glass of wine, after another thrilling day of adventures.
At the rear of the cottage down some steps, there’s a fabulous terrace with glazed balustrades, a dining table and chairs, deckchairs, a charcoal BBQ and a marvellous view of the estuary; perfect for balmy summer nights.
NB: This property is less suited to young children due to the two sets of stairs and limited space to store pushchairs.
