The town has a good range of small shops, pubs and restaurants catering for most day to day needs and has an active resident population supporting several clubs and associations. Primary and secondary schools are available in Fowey. The immediate area boasts many miles of superb coast and countryside much of which is in the ownership of the National Trust. Main line railway connection can be made at Par about three miles to the west. The larger town of St. Austell is about seven miles to the west.
The house has benefitted from a two-storey extension (carried out in 2023-24) which created two further bedrooms and a bathroom. Planning permission and building regulations have been granted. A full re-wire of the property was also carried out, with certification available.
The internal accommodation now has a wonderful flow, being entered via a spacious reception hallway which benefits from a good amount of natural light from dual skylights over the first-floor landing.
The ground floor accommodation consists of a sitting room, music room, utility space and downstairs WC. The sitting room flows through to an impressive kitchen diner with modern fitted appliances. French doors open from the kitchen to a private outside patio area which offers pleasant rural views and an ideal barbeque space during summer.
On the first floor, there are four generous double bedrooms and the main bathroom, which is well appointed and fitted to a high specification. Bedrooms one and two both boast ensuite shower rooms. All the bedrooms offer a pleasant rural outlook with some lovely views.
