Nestled along the banks of the picturesque River Fowey in Cornwall, this charming property offers a serene retreat for up to four guests. Its prime location provides easy access to the historic port of Fowey, while the nearby coastal village of Polruan can be reached via a short drive and a convenient passenger ferry. Guests can also explore the scenic surroundings, with popular destinations like Looe and Polperro to the east and Mevagissey to the west. The quaint town of Lostwithiel, known for its boutique interior shops and antique emporiums, is also a must-visit for those seeking unique finds.
The property itself features an inviting entrance hallway leading into a beautifully designed open-plan kitchen, lounge, and dining area. This multifunctional space is bathed in natural light and offers breathtaking views of the estuary through French windows that open onto a private veranda. The lounge area is equipped with a TV, DVD player, and a cozy wood burner, making it an ideal spot for relaxation. The well-appointed kitchen includes modern appliances such as an electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher, catering to all culinary needs. Additionally, a separate WC on the ground floor adds convenience for guests.
Upstairs, guests will discover two thoughtfully designed bedrooms. The spacious king-size bedroom boasts lovely views of the estuary, while the second bedroom features an attractive single bed with an additional pull-out bed, accommodating an extra guest if needed. Completing the upper level is a beautifully appointed bathroom equipped with a shower over the bath and a WC, providing a comfortable and functional space for guests.
Outdoor living is equally delightful, with a charming riverside terrace accessible from the French doors. This area overlooks the veranda and the stunning Fowey estuary, featuring garden furniture that invites alfresco dining and relaxation. Guests also have access to a shared pontoon on the estuary, enhancing the outdoor experience. For added convenience, private off-road parking for two cars is provided.
