Fowey, Cornwall, PL23

Fowey is one of the most attractive of Cornwall’s harbourside towns and is particularly well known as a popular sailing centre. The town has a good range of small shops, pubs and restaurants catering for most day to day needs and has an active resident population supporting several clubs and associations. Primary and secondary schools are available in Fowey. The immediate area boasts many miles of superb coast and countryside much of which is in the ownership of the National Trust. Main line railway connection can be made at Par about three miles to the west. The larger town of St. Austell is about seven miles to the west.

The house has benefitted from a two-storey extension (carried out in 2023-24) which created two further bedrooms and a bathroom. Planning permission and building regulations have been granted. A full re-wire of the property was also carried out, with certification available.

The internal accommodation now has a wonderful flow, being entered via a spacious reception hallway which benefits from a good amount of natural light from dual skylights over the first-floor landing.

The ground floor accommodation consists of a sitting room, music room, utility space and downstairs WC. The sitting room flows through to an impressive kitchen diner with modern fitted appliances. French doors open from the kitchen to a private outside patio area which offers pleasant rural views and an ideal barbeque space during summer.

On the first floor, there are four generous double bedrooms and the main bathroom, which is well appointed and fitted to a high specification. Bedrooms one and two both boast ensuite shower rooms. All the bedrooms offer a pleasant rural outlook with some lovely views.

The annexe is separate from the main house and was constructed in 2020, being finished with attractive Larch cladding. It offers an open plan living space and kitchen with wood burner, with French doors opening to and offering an outlook over the garden. It has a generous double bedroom and well-appointed shower room. The annexe has a proven holiday letting history and has gained over one hundred five-star reviews. Further detail is available upon request.

The main house benefits from a 3.2KW solar panel system which is owned outright and provides the majority of daytime electric use, with additional energy providing water heating. The lounge boasts an impressive wood burner; whilst there are modern electric wi-fi controlled radiators throughout the house which can offer supplementary heating if required. The house and annexe are fully double glazed.

The main part of the garden wraps around the south and south westerly elevations, offering fantastic amounts of daytime and evening sun. The gardens are mostly lawned with a gravel sitting out space to the southerly elevation of the house, along with the patio area off the kitchen diner.

The house and driveway are approached via a private lane (owned by a neighbouring property) however we understand Windy Ridge enjoys a right of access. The driveway offers a gravel parking area for up to five cars. To the rear of the annexe is an outside storage space which is ideal for garden and leisure equipment.

Council tax band: Main house (D) Annexe (A).

Services: Mains electricity, mains water, private drainage (see below), telephone line, superfast fibre broadband.

The private drainage is managed by a modern water treatment plant which is situated just beyond the property boundary to the westerly elevation. A deed of covenant exists for access to maintain this. The water treatment plant results in lower utility bills as no waste water fee is payable.
