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

This beautiful house has been renovated and extended by the current owners to provide a fabulous family home in a tucked away and peaceful setting, yet just a 5 minute walk to the centre of the town.

The owners have created a fabulously individual property with imaginative extensions and have cleverly combined contemporary and stylish accommodation whilst keep the integrity and character of the original property.

With great attention to detail, the original house has been lovingly restored, keeping features such as wooden floors and a characterful feel with the new additions of the extensions and period radiators throughout.

The driveway has parking for several cars and the converted garage provides a newly renovated studio, a spacious and flexible area for use as a home office, studio or overflow accommodation if required.
