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 Old School House is an iconic and much loved property in Fowey. It was tastefully converted into apartments in 1998. Situated just a short walk from the town, harbour and Ready Money Cove, The Old School House is elevated and set back from Daglands Road giving a peaceful and private location.
The property has been extensively renovated and modernised by the current owners to provide a spacious apartment with a contemporary styled finish and elegant feel. The property benefits from a restyled, low maintenance garden, part of which can double up as a parking space and there is further parking in the single garage situated to one side of the building.
ACCOMMODATION
A private courtyard and front entrance gives the apartment independence from the others within the building and a real sense of privacy. The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, great for hanging coats and storing shoes. This area doubles up as a utility area with a cupboard to one side which cleverly hides the washing machine/laundry area and a further cupboard which is ideal for additional storage.
A door opens to the spacious living room with large windows to the front elevation and a further window affording a view down Daglands Road and making this living space light and airy. There is a recently installed fireplace and mantle, housing an electric fire - a lovely focal point for the room. The attractive floor is of engineered oak and adds to the impressive and elegant style. Bespoke window shutters are a feature in every well appointed room.
A door off the inner hall opens to the kitchen/dining room which has been recently remodelled and provides a delightful space to entertain. The flooring continues through from the sitting room and large windows overlook the private garden to the side of the property. With a number of integrated appliances. large workspace and storage cupboards, along with space for table and chairs, this fabulous kitchen does not disappoint.
