The Location

Formerly the ancient capital of the County, Lostwithiel occupies an attractive valley setting and is regarded as one of Cornwall's most attractive small towns. There is a real sense of community here, with shops for most day to day needs, lovely pubs and restaurants, a doctor’s surgery, modern dental surgery, and access to the beautiful waters of the Fowey River. The town also has a main line Railway Station with links to Paddington, London. Two local schools provide education for primary school age children. There are many world class gardens to be found in the immediate area and the fascinating Eden Project with its futuristic biomes is just a few miles away. There are good road links to the motorway system via the A38/A30, and there are flights to London from Newquay.

The Property

This lovely home, built in 1878, offers spacious and flexible accommodation arranged over 3 floors. The gardens are laid mainly to the rear of the house and are a gardener's delight - planted with an array of plants, shrubs and trees, which offer colour all year round. A garage conversion, carried out in recent years, now provides a 1 bedroom, separate annexe suitable for holiday let or use for family and friends. With ample parking for 4 cars and easy access to the town, this super house ticks many boxes and viewing is highly recommended.
