The Location - Positioned half a mile upstream from Bodinnick, on the eastern bank of the Fowey River, and set in a south facing position close to Mixtow Pill.
Fowey's beautiful natural harbour provides deep water access at all states of the tide and is one of the most popular sailing centres along the coast of Cornwall. Two local yacht clubs organise competitive sailing throughout the summer months and Fowey Harbour Commission maintain the well run port for the benefit of leisure and commercial craft alike.
The town also supports a wide range of excellent restaurants, tea rooms, pubs and shops. The immediate area is surrounded by many miles of delightful coast and countryside, much of which is in the ownership of the National Trust. There are several good golf courses within easy reach. There are good road links to the motorway system via the A30/A38 and a mainline railway station can be found at Par, approximately 6 miles to the west.
The Property - The property is formally a working Millhouse and circa 100 years ago was converted from a barn during the late 1990's with the extension constructed during the mid 2010's. The property currently offers accommodation arranged over 2 floors, with views over neighbouring fields and river from almost every room making for an ideal family home, or spacious 2nd home.
Currently configured as one property, there is easy scope to change the property (subject to necessary permissions) due to the flexible nature of the accommodation and separate entrances that the property benefits from.
The spacious accommodation comprises a large round-house kitchen/dining room with oil fired AGA, gallery ceiling and large picture window overlooking the rear garden. Steps lead down to a very generous sitting room with double doors opening to the rear patio and a natural stone fireplace and wood burner. There is an area large enough for a sizeable dining table. A passageway off the sitting room leads to a large principal bedroom suite, with a spacious ensuite bathroom. French doors open to the rear patio from the bedroom. The Master Bedroom also houses the bolier room with cloakroom and storage capabilities.
Stairs lead to the first floor, where there are a further four double bedrooms, of which two benefit from ensuite shower rooms, and two single bedrooms. One of which would also suit as a study or playroom. There is a large family bathroom and also a separate shower room on this level. One of the double bedrooms has a door opening to a small timber patio, providing access to the driveway. Separate access from driveway is available via a timber walk way leading to the first floor landing.
Outside - There is a large garden with a natural stream running through it, extending to approximately 1.5 acres which is laid mainly to lawn and surrounded by hedging or fencing. A paved patio runs along the area of the property and a further patio is situated to the side of the kitchen. A further area of ground is located across the lane at the bottom of the garden and there is a paddock with 5 acres of grazing land. A country lane leads down to Mixtow Pill, with public boat launching access.
The property benefits from two driveways and a large double garage. A further outbuilding is currently used as a large storage area, serviced with electricity and plumbing but offers potential for development (subject to the necessary permissions) or a multitude of other uses. There is also a timber outbuilding which is suitable for further garaging or stabling if required.
The property has oil fired central heating, mains electricity, water supply and private draining.
