St. Saviours Hill, Polruan, Fowey, Cornwall

IN THE OWNER'S WORDS
"I have enjoyed living in this house immensely, especially for the magnificent views over the Fowey Estuary at the front of the house and the bay and open sea at the back of the house. The house itself is very cosy and comfortable with many original features.

I am only selling as I need to move closer to family in London at this time."

The town of Fowey is accessed either by a passenger ferry or vehicle ferry from Bodinnick and offers further amenities and water moorings.
