Location

Set within the tiny hamlet of Manely, The Grange enjoys a peaceful rural position, just above the River Fowey at Cliff, opposite the village of Golant. The villages of St Veep and Lerryn are close at hand, with Lerryn providing facilities for most everyday needs including a village stores and pub.

Once home to the novelist Daphne Du Maurier, the River Fowey is a beautiful estuary which joins the sea between Readymoney Cove and Polruan on Cornwall's beautiful south coast. The river can be easily accessed from the property via the waterside hamlet of Cliff, where it is possible to launch small craft, a kayak or paddleboard.

About 6 miles upstream is the historic stannary town of Lostwithiel. Once the ancient capital of Cornwall, some 700 years ago, its pretty narrow streets contain many antique and craft shops as well as other independent shops and eateries catering for everyday needs. There are also two primary schools and a community centre which supports the towns year round community. Secondary schooling can be found in Fowey, Bodmin and Truro or St Joseph's at Launceston.
