The Old Library

About this property

An impressive and elegant town-centre property is the perfect retreat for families or a group of friends looking for a coastal getaway. The house lies in the heart of Fowey, just 200 metres from the yacht club and the bustling harbourside. Protected by a narrow harbour entrance between two castles, Fowey remains largely unspoiled, with narrow winding streets lined by plenty of interesting shops, galleries, and eateries to explore. The sandy beach at Readymoney Cove (0.5 miles) offers sheltered swimming and stunning views across to Polruan (1 mile). A foot ferry from the quay takes you to Polruan, or the Bodinnick Ferry can transport you and your car across the river to explore further.

This gorgeous property has a grand entrance leading into a chic, open-plan living room and kitchen. Wooden floors and sash windows with original shutters bring to life the house's rich history. On one side, a contemporary kitchen with a breakfast bar has all you need to make meal preparation a cinch. On the opposite side, the living area features stylish sofas, perfect for socialising or cosying up to watch your favourite shows on the Smart TV. Two steps lead up to the dining area, boasting a spacious table and benches. A utility room gives access to the garden. Upstairs is a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a twin bedroom to 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. Outside is a pretty, enclosed garden, a delightful setting for al fresco dining.

Immerse yourself in visits to iconic Cornish attractions, with The Eden Project (6 miles), The Lost Gardens of Heligan (14 miles), and the unesco historic port town of Charlestown (7.5 miles) all within easy reach. If you love waterfalls, then enjoy the walk up to the breathtaking Golitha Falls (20 miles) through a beautiful woodland valley.
