Description

Built in the early 1900s and once part of the Rashleigh Estate, this substantial home has been lovingly cared for by the same family for many years. Situated in an elevated position, the property enjoys stunning views from most living spaces and bedrooms. Beautiful gardens surround the front and side, with useful outhouses along the boundary wall. The driveway is privately owned by Moville House, with a right of way for a neighbouring property.

Retaining many original features, the property combines character with modern living conveniences.

Ground Floor - The spacious reception room offers large windows with views over the front garden, the village, the harbour, and Fowey. The original front door opens into this room, featuring a staircase to the first floor and a side window for additional natural light. The room serves as both a sitting area and dining space, with a charming fireplace and gas fire.

The generous kitchen/breakfast room includes ample storage, a range-style cooker, integrated dishwasher, and fridge/freezer. A door opens to the side courtyard, while another door leads to a second reception room with an open fireplace. Currently used as a snug, this room could also be a home office. An entrance hallway provides access to the side garden and a storage cupboard.

First Floor - Upstairs, a double bedroom at the front offers spectacular harbour views, with built-in storage. A second double bedroom also enjoys views and includes an en suite shower room with WC, washbasin, and underfloor heating. A smaller single bedroom, currently a bunk room, shares the same views and has built-in storage.

A family bathroom with a panelled bath, WC, and washbasin is located at the rear, along with another double bedroom. A shower room with a walk-in shower, WC, and washbasin is situated nearby, and a final double bedroom completes the floor.

Outside - Accessed from Fore Street, the driveway offers parking for at least two vehicles and leads to a detached garage with space for two more. A mature Yew hedge provides privacy, and steps lead up to the sunny front terrace. A path continues around the side of the house to the kitchen door and around to the rear garden.

The outbuildings include a room with plumbing for a washing machine, additional storage rooms, and a WC. The gardens, mainly laid to lawn, are enclosed by stone walls and hedging, with mature plants and shrubs. Facing south and west, the garden enjoys sun throughout the day and into the evening. A wooden pedestrian gate gives access to Fore Street.
