Setting The Scene
Protected by a narrow harbour entrance between two castles, the pretty harbour town of Fowey on the south coast of England remains largely as it has been for years, with narrow streets winding through the town near the waters edge. The Royal Fowey Yacht Club and Fowey Gallants Sailing Club bookend the town with plenty of interesting shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants between. A haven for the keen sailor, the harbour is full of deep water moorings and the estuary provides access to St Austell Bay and the rest of the spectacular south Cornish coastline, including the Fal and Helford Estuaries further west.
Polruan lies on the east bank of the beautiful River Fowey, tucked just inside the harbour entrance opposite Fowey. The village has its own general stores, sub post office, coffee shops, two public houses and a long-established and busy boat building and ship repair yard. The village is connected to Fowey by a regular passenger ferry and the immediate area is surrounded by many miles of wonderful coast and countryside, much of which is in the ownership of the National Trust. The exceptional coastal footpath known as The Hall Walk runs between Polruan and Bodinnick where the celebrated novelist, Daphne Du Maurier, settled and worked in a riverside house overlooking Fowey.
Despite this idyllic waterside setting, Fowey is only 3 miles from the main London-Penzance main railway line, with an overnight ‘sleeper’ service from either Par or Lostwithiel.
The Tour
Accessed from West Street, this beautifully presented property offers waterside living at its best. Renovated and restored by the current owner, the property comprises Waterfront, a landmark harbourside 4/5 bedroom house with large balcony and steps leading down to the water. There are two outhaul moorings (frapes), (subject to harbour commission licence), and the property enjoys the most fabulous harbour views.
One of the most prominent waterside houses in Polruan, Waterfront has retained much character and charm and enjoys a wonderful view across to Fowey and up the river. Access over paved courtyard leads to the spacious and flexible accommodation comprising a well appointed kitchen/dining room. There are two bedrooms on this floor currently utilised as a sitting room/snug and office. A very impressive, large sitting room is situated on the lower floor with Inglenook fireplace, and double doors opening to the balcony with easy access to the water and/or beach and useful davits for launching or retrieving a small tender. A principal bedroom suite has dressing room area with en suite facilities and there are two further double bedrooms and family bathroom on the top floor.
A useful utility room and workshop is located on the lower ground floor of the main house, behind the large sitting room
