Polruan - Polruan lies on the east bank of the river Fowey, just inside the entrance to Fowey harbour. The village has its own general stores, sub post office, tea rooms, two public houses and a long established boat building and repair yard. The village is connected to Fowey, which has a wider range of small shops and businesses catering for most day to day needs, by a regular passenger ferry. The immediate area is surrounded by many miles of wonderful coast and countryside, much of which is in the ownership of the National Trust.

Once away from the immediate local lanes, there are good road connections to the motorway system via the A38/A30. Railway connections (London Paddington) can be made at a number of local stations (Par, Liskeard & Lostwithiel).

The Property - Offered to the market for the first time in many years, this lovely period property has stunning views of the harbour and across to Fowey. With extensive terraces providing a number of areas to enjoy the outdoors, the house also offers spacious accommodation in a quiet area of this waterside village.

Built circa 1710, with stone walls and slate roof, the property is situated in an elevated and imposing position close to Polruan Castle. The house was fully renovated in 2008 and is being sold with the unusual benefit of a garage located in Hockens lane which is just a short walk from the property. There is also pedestrian access to the water over a neighbouring passageway with permissions for a frape (subject to Harbour Commission licence).

Accessed directly from West Street, a substantial wooden gate opens to a paved terrace which runs along the rear of the house. Bordered by a glass and chrome balustrade, the terrace offers the most amazing views over the harbour and across to Fowey and attracts sun all day.

Steps lead up to the porch with attractive slate floor and a number of useful storage cupboards. A further glazed door leads into the lovely, spacious living area with attractive wooden floor throughout. The sitting room has a large bay window with window seat to take in the views. Further windows provide plenty of light making this a gorgeous living space. A contemporary style wood burner is positioned to benefit both the sitting room and dining area, where there is space for sizeable dining table and chairs. There are a number of original features including charming storage cupboards built either side of the chimney breast.

The kitchen is located off the dining area and is well appointed with a range of base and wall units and ample marble work surface over. A window to one wall provides natural light. There is an integral oven with comb oven over, 4 ring halogen hob and integrated dishwasher .

From the sitting room, stairs rise to the first floor landing with further stairs leading to the second floor.

The elegant principal bedroom has a lovely bay window with further window to the side elevation. The window seat offers fabulous views to the harbour and to the village.

There is a family bathroom with panelled bath and shower over, WC and wash basin, and a separate shower room with shower cubicle, WC and wash basin.

The second floor benefits from an attic room with Velux windows. This room has been used as a bedroom for grandchildren, along with a playroom, and a study - just to show how versatile a room it is. There is very useful eaves storage.



Outside - The property is accessed via a wooden gate from West Street, which opens to a large paved terrace offering lovely harbour views.
