Fowey Old Library

A large, elegant cottage that sleeps 4 in the centre of Fowey 200m from the vibrant quayside and the yacht club near the wonderful winding streets filled with shops, galleries and eateries. The sandy beach at Readymoney Cove offers sheltered swimming and stunning views across to Polruan with access to the coast path. Water sports are popular in Fowey and walkers will delight in the circular Hall Walk. A foot ferry from the quay takes you to Polruan, or the Bodinnick Ferry can transport your car across the river to explore further.

Step through the grand entrance door into a sophisticated, open-plan living room and kitchen, extending across the width of the house. Wooden floors and sash windows with original shutters imbue the space with the rich history of the house, while window seats offer charming views of the tree-lined surroundings. On one side, a fully equipped, contemporary kitchen with a breakfast bar and two stools awaits, providing everything needed for culinary endeavours at home. On the opposite side, the living area features stylish sofas arranged for group socialising or cosying up to watch your favourite shows on the Smart TV. Two steps lead up to the dining area, infused with a spacious table and benches, while the staircase climbs to the bedrooms on the first floor. A practical cloakroom and utility room with a slate-flagged floor are conveniently located towards the rear of the house, with a door from the utility room granting access to the garden. Moving up to the first floor, the main king-size bedroom is bathed in natural light at the front of the house, offering serene views of the church, along with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. The twin bedroom with church views also occupies the front, while two additional king-size bedrooms and the main bathroom are positioned towards the rear. A door on this level also leads out to the garden, completing the integration of indoor and outdoor living spaces.

To the rear of the house, at the first-floor level, lies a wonderful, Mediterranean-inspired enclosed garden. It features a combination of paving and lush vegetation, providing a delightful setting for outdoor dining or a peaceful retreat for reading in a sunny alcove. A side gate provides easy access to the garden allowing you to offload your beach gear and hang up wetsuits after a day out.
