Description

UNEXPECTEDLY SPACIOUS family home located just a TEN MINUTE WALK ALONG ST CATHERINE'S PARADE TO THE BEACH with 'wow factor' OPEN PLAN LIVING and MULTIPLE SUN-DRENCHED GARDEN AREAS throughout the day. Previously utilised as a successful B&B with driveway PARKING FOR SEVERAL VEHICLES including a motorhome.

A superb coastal residence where the garden has been thoughtfully designed to capture sunshine from morning through to evening—a rare and genuinely prized feature in Fowey. Whether you're an early riser enjoying breakfast in the east-facing corner, seeking midday warmth for lunch, or savouring the evening sun with a sundowner, there's always a sheltered, sunny spot waiting for you. This is outdoor living at its finest, and in a town where sunny, private gardens are highly sought after, this property truly delivers.

Inside, this substantial four-bedroom detached home blends timeless appeal with flexible, modern living. Originating as a 1920s bungalow, it has been thoughtfully extended over the years, most recently in 2015, to create a bright and expansive open-plan living space that forms the heart of the home. Here, a well-appointed kitchen flows seamlessly into a living and entertaining area, where a feature wood-burning stove provides a welcoming focal point. Bi-fold doors open directly to the sun-soaked rear garden, inviting the outdoors in and creating an effortless connection for relaxed family life or sophisticated entertaining.

Although understated from the road, step inside and you'll be genuinely surprised. An entrance porch leads into a wonderfully spacious reception room with soaring ceilings that accentuate the sense of light and space. Currently used as a dining area, this versatile room could equally serve as a formal living room and includes a discreet home office nook that tucks away neatly when not in use.

The ground floor also accommodates two double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite shower room and French doors providing direct external access—ideal for guests, a teenager's suite, or even independent B&B accommodation. These rooms have historically been let separately on a B&B basis, highlighting the home's flexible, income-generating potential.

The contemporary open-plan living area is the true showpiece. The kitchen is equipped with a generous island providing additional workspace and casual breakfast bar seating, flowing naturally into dining and sitting areas designed for sociable, modern living. The wood-burning stove adds warmth and character, while the bi-fold doors create a seamless transition to the garden, blurring the boundaries between indoors and out. This entire space benefits from underfloor heating for year-round comfort, along with a striking vaulted ceiling and roof light that floods the room with natural light.

Practical touches include a separate utility room with external access and a downstairs WC, adding everyday convenience. Upstairs, two further double bedrooms both feature en-suite shower rooms, ensuring privacy and comfort for family and guests alike. The master bedroom is particularly impressive, with an expansive en-suite that includes a built-in steam room and a separate freestanding bath housed within the bedroom itself—a luxurious touch that transforms daily routines into something special.

Outside, the very private gardens are designed to make the most of the sun's journey across the sky. Multiple sheltered seating areas catch the light at different times, providing perfect sun-trap spots for morning coffee, leisurely lunches, or evening relaxation - an incredibly appealing feature that's hard to find. Two useful outbuildings (a workshop and a summer house) offer additional flexibility, while a wood store keeps logs ready for cosy evenings by the fire. The generous driveway provides ample parking for several cars and even a motorhome, ensuring practicalities are thoroughly covered.

This home beautifully combines the charm of its 1920s origins with the contemporary comfort of modern living. Its coastal setting, flexible accommodation, and those gloriously sunny private gardens make it a highly appealing proposition for families, those seeking B&B potential, or buyers looking for a stylish Fowey home that truly makes the most of outdoor space.
