Property code: OC-CCTOWN
This distinctive waterfront house sits right on the River Fowey and is a perfectly tranquil destination for a family get together or holiday with a group of friends. Less than 2 miles away, the pretty village of Lerryn has a village shop/cafe and a pub, as well as famous stepping stones which are an alternative to the river bridge when the tide is out. Just 5 miles away, the Cornish town of Lostwithiel is known for its antiques shops and range of independent boutiques, and has a number of cafes and restaurants. Also, within 10 miles, is the National Trust’s Lanhydrock, an impressive late-Victorian country house with extensive gardens and a wooded estate that includes cycle trails and a range of walks.
With beamed ceilings and wooden floors, the property’s traditional style is matched by a blend of antique and new furnishings carefully chosen for both comfort and character. There are plenty of options for relaxing and socialising, the largest of which is the lovely main lounge, featuring a rocking chair and piano, as well as French doors to the garden. There is another spacious seating area at one end of the kitchen/diner, where a rugged stone wall surrounds a wood burner, plus a welcoming conservatory - an ideal spot for relaxing and enjoying views of the gardens and river. The kitchen/diner itself is a large, handsome and light-filled room with a good mix of cupboards, and there is a very useful utility room housing essential appliances. On the first floor, there are four pretty, good-sized bedrooms, two king-size (one with an en-suite) and two twins, plus a family shower room.
The gardens here are really special, featuring sheltering trees and a sloping lawn that leads to the water’s edge, with steps that lead to the shore. From here you can moor and launch your own boat. There is also a large patio with a BBQ and garden furniture.
