Description

The front door with stained glass inserts opens directly from Station Road; once inside the welcoming hallway, there is a study/snug to the left, with a useful coat closet for Sou’westers and wellies. Further into the hall is a feature fireplace, and a shower room with WC. To the right of here, is a generous dual aspect light-filled sitting room with bay window; the French doors lead to a suntrap timbered balcony (the ‘upper deck’, re timbered in recent years). The electric flame-effect fire in the elegant sitting room complements the cosy warmth provided by gas central heating throughout the property. Stairs from the hallway lead down to the lower floor – formerly the cellars of the infamous Sailors Return – the fitted kitchen and dining room now situated here offer beamed ceilings, exposed stonework and tiled floors. Double doors from the dining room open to the delightful patio and ‘second deck’, enjoying superb harbour views and access to watercraft through the trapdoor. The entrance hall also has stairs leading to the first floor with two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom has a bay window with expansive views over the river and a range of built in wardrobes. Morning tea watching the boats bobbing by and gig practicing is an absolute must! A wash basin is located to the rear of the room. The second bedroom on this level is also a double, and has a window overlooking Station Road – this room also benefits from a wash basin. Stairs from the landing lead to the second floor with two further double bedrooms, each with a wash basin. One has views to the harbour, whilst the other has street views via a Velux window. Step outside: The charming and ancient nautical town of Fowey, a frequent host to the Tall Ships Festival, is one of the prettiest destinations in Cornwall. It offers sandy beaches with sea swimming at Readymoney Cove, many historic buildings, and unspoilt countryside and woodlands. There are popular restaurants and tearooms aplenty, with galleries and a wide selection of artisan shops. Convenient butchers, bakers and specialist fishmongers are just minutes away. Excellent transport links are close by, leading to the rest of Cornwall and beyond – the international airport at Newquay is less than 30 miles from Fowey, with rail links to London Paddington available from Par, Bodmin and St Austell. As you enter Fowey, follow signs for the town center, then continue straight ahead until you reach the main road along the waterfront; turn left onto the waterfront road and follow it along the harbor, looking for signs directing you towards Ferrymans Cottage, which will be on your right-hand side.
