A CHARMINGLY 2 BEDROOM TRADITIONAL COTTAGE, SITUATED JUST A SHORT WALK FROM THE CENTRE OF TOWN, WITH VIEWS OVER THE TOWN AND ACROSS TO POLRUAN. FRONT GARDEN AND ENCLOSED PRIVATE REAR GARDEN WITH OUTHOUSE.

The Location - Fowey is regarded as one of the most attractive waterside communities in the county. Particularly well known as a popular sailing centre, the town has two thriving sailing clubs, a famous annual Regatta and excellent facilities for the keen yachtsman. For a small town Fowey provides a good range of shops and businesses catering for most day to day needs. The immediate area is surrounded by many miles of delightful coast and countryside much of which is in the ownership of the National Trust. Award winning restaurants, small boutique hotels, excellent public houses etc, have helped to establish Fowey as a popular, high quality, destination.

There are several excellent golf courses within easy reach, many world class gardens are to be found in the immediate area and the fascinating Eden Project with its futuristic biomes is just 5 miles to the north west.

There are good road links to the motorway system via the A38/A30. Railway links to London, Paddington, can be made locally at Par, and St. Austell and there are flights to London and other destinations from Newquay.

The Property - Located just a short distance from the centre of town and in a sought after area, this lovely cottage is set back enough to avoid the hubbub of the town. Currently run as a holiday let, this charming house could suit just as well as a main home.

The property offers open plan living space with a separate kitchen on the ground floor, and 2 double bedrooms on the first floor with family shower room. There is a garden to the front of the property with a further enclosed garden to the rear, with separate access to Rosehill, and the benefit of an outhouse which is currently used for storage, but offers potential (subject to relevant permissions).

Built in the late 1800's and lovingly restored by our client, this property represents the perfect combination of traditional ambience and modern convenience, retaining a number of character features, including wooden panelled doors and picture rails, whilst providing everything required for modern day living.

Accessed directly from Place Road, a gate leads through the front garden to the front door which opens to the entrance hall, leading into the open plan sitting/dining room. With windows to both front and rear, this area is light and airy. There is an electric fire set into a slate hearth. A wooden effect laminate floor runs through both sitting room and dining room and there is a useful under stairs cupboard and further cupboards used for storage.

A door leads through to the chic kitchen with a range of base and wall units, electric oven with hob over, inset dishwasher and fridge/freezer. A window overlooks the town and towards Polruan. A door opens to steps leading down to the rear garden.

There is a further double bedroom to the front of the property, currently configured as a twin room, and a contemporary styled shower room with WC, wash hand basin and shower cubicle.

Outside - The front garden is enclosed by attractive stone walling and has part paving and part planting with interesting flowers and shrubs.

The private rear garden is an all day long suntrap perfect for relaxing and sunbathing. It is accessed via wooden steps leading down from the kitchen with a decked area, and large space for table and chairs for those late breakfasts in the sun or suppers in the warmth of the evening. Enclosed by a stone wall and fencing, at the rear of the garden is a very useful outhouse (approx 2.5m x 8m), currently used for storage.
