The Location - Fowey is regarded as one of the most attractive waterside communities in the county. Particularly well known as a popular sailing centre, the town has two thriving sailing clubs, a famous annual Regatta and excellent facilities for the keen yachtsman. For a small town Fowey provides a good range of shops and businesses catering for most day to day needs. The immediate area is surrounded by many miles of delightful coast and countryside much of which is in the ownership of the National Trust. Award winning restaurants, small boutique hotels, excellent public houses etc, have helped to establish Fowey as a popular, high quality, destination.

There are several excellent golf courses within easy reach, many world class gardens are to be found in the immediate area and the fascinating Eden Project with its futuristic biomes is just 5 miles to the north west.

There are good road links to the motorway system via the A38/A30. Railway links to London, Paddington, can be made locally at Par, and St. Austell and there are flights to London and other destinations from Newquay.

The Property - On the market for first time in over 35 years, this lovely property is situated in a sought after location in a quiet part of the town, yet within easy walking distance of the centre and town quay. Unusually, the property offers 2 parking spaces next to the house and is the only double fronted property on Harbour View. Built in 1894, the property retains many of the original features of the time and has plenty of character.

The accommodation is arranged over 2 floors with fabulous harbour views from every level. There is also a low maintenance, terraced front garden which catches the sun for most of the day and is an ideal spot for al fresco dining.

The property is accessed from Harbour View through a galvanised gate with steps leading down to the front garden. Granite steps lead up to the front door which opens to entrance porch with further door opening to the entrance hall. Doors lead to all principal reception rooms with stairs leading to the first floor.

Beautifully proportioned, the sitting room has a lovely bay window with views to the water and original fireplace with open fire. There is an attractive ceiling rose with further coving.
The dining room also has a bay window with views to the water, original fireplace and gas coal effect fireplace. A serving hatch opens to the kitchen, which has a range of base and wall units and large window to the rear elevation overlooking a small courtyard.

There is also a very useful laundry room, with sink and range of base units and a door opens to the ground floor WC with wash hand basin. A further utility room is positioned to the rear of the property with door opening to outside courtyard.

On the first floor there is a principal bedroom with bay window overlooking the harbour and out to sea. A door opens to a large ensuite bathroom.

There is a further spacious room, currently used as a second sitting room, but would equally work well as a second bedroom, again with bay window and stunning views. A further double bedroom is located to the rear of the house and there is a study/bedroom with window to the front elevation with lovely views.

Stairs lead from the landing to the second floor where there is the Attic Room/bedroom 5, which is a large room, currently used as a bedroom to one side and storage room to the other. This area could be upgraded to accommodate 2 separate bedrooms or bedroom with ensuite (subject to relevant permissions).

Outside - The property is accessed directly from Harbour View which is a private road. A pathway leads across the front of the property and there is shared access for neighbouring properties. Steps lead down from the pathway to the easily maintained front garden, which is arranged over two terraces. The property owns an area of ground to the side of the house, which has been used as a parking space and there is a further parking space located off Harbour View, to the left hand side of the property.

To the rear there are two courtyard areas, useful for storage and there is a small timber shed. A pathway with shared access leads to the neighbouring properties.
