The Property

Artists House is a stunning Victorian property beautifully and sympathetically renovated from its former life as a cottage hospital and later flat conversions. It was once used by the famous author and Fowey resident Quiller Couch. It is now embracing its period features whilst enjoying modern luxuries; this home is a real gem, hidden from plain sight!

Reverse accommodation offers gorgeous estuary views from the open-plan living room spread across the original top floor. High ceilings, solid wooden flooring and 3 large windows fill the room with light and, with deep window seats, make it the ideal place to sit, relax and take in the estuary views. The living room is a fabulous space to socialise and entertain friends, family and guests.

Whilst the room has plenty of space to relax and dine, a wood-burning stove makes the sitting area snug and warm on chillier evenings.

Off the living room is the new modern, stylish kitchen with ample storage cupboards, worktops and integral appliances including a dishwasher, fridge-freezer, electric oven, grill and gas hob. A breakfast bar looks out to the estuary, a perfect spot to sit and watch life on the water.

A door opens into a new conservatory with steps leading down to the road and out to the rear garden. This is such a useful area to store shoes and coats, wetsuits and sandy wellies without entering the main house.

The main front door opens into a warm, welcoming entrance hall with an elegant Victorian staircase winding its way up to the living area. The ground floor has 3 large plush king-sized bedrooms, with ensuites. Two of the rooms have bathrooms and one has a shower room. Off one of the rear bedrooms is a utility room with an under-counter washing machine and tumble dryer. A door leads out the side of the property, ideal for storing kayaks and other water paraphernalia.

Outside

From the conservatory, a door leads to a rear courtyard with steps taking you to terraced gardens. With three separate areas to enjoy views of the Fowey Estuary, you are spoilt for choice. A top garden has a lawned area and a wooden shed. It enjoys the best panoramic vista over towards Pont and Bodinnick. A lower patio area is perfect for al fresco dining, and a lower third patio area has a large wooden garden shed, great for outdoor storage.

Properties with parking in the centre of Fowey are rare and highly sought after. Artists House has a secure garage and a large store. An area of hardstanding outside the garage makes parking suitable for larger modern vehicles.
