In the owner's words
"Having never envisaged a home on the South Coast of Cornwall, as a family with a love of the sea, we quickly embraced our life in Fowey, rich in Maritime history and all activities offered here on the water.

My son's world quickly opened up to the sea, as we joined both Fowey and Gallants Yacht Clubs, where we experienced a new boating life with the locals, dinghy sailing, gig rowing, wild sea swimming and of course the Annual Fowey Regatta.

This is one of the best known sailing events in the UK - lots of sailing competitions on the water in early August as well as land events, including a Giant Pasty Ceremony and pasty eating competition, as well as an amazing town carnival and fireworks - Best viewing spot in the town is Fowey Royal Yacht Club!

Our now departed, lovely labrador Zoe enjoyed many walks and sea swims around the harbour from 4 approaches to the town from our house, down to the water. These walks all within a 10-15 minute walk including to a locals/tourists favourite beach (Ready Money Cove). A real haven for 4 legged friends too!

Lovely coastal walks to St Catherine's Castle, or on the coastal path (the Saints Way), take you on another adventure to local villages, including Menabilly Beach and Polkerris Cove with a favourite restaurant 'Sam's on the Beach' lovely fresh fish! The Rashgill Inn, known for its Fizz and Chips' (Prosecco and chips) after a wild sea swim!). Nothing better!

As for the house, even as a 3 bedroom property, it is bright, airy and spacious with amazing views from the lounge to Bodmin Moor and beyond.

The neighbours are wonderful and we have pub/cinema nights and little street events annually, raising money for the rnli (Fowey). Great fun!"
