Nestled above the vibrant harbour, this generously proportioned detached house, a cherished family home since 2001, awaits its new chapter. As you approach via the private driveway, you're greeted by a home that harmoniously blends comfort with stunning southerly sea vistas.

The heart of the home, a light-filled, split-level open-plan kitchen and dining area, is an entertainer's dream. Here, culinary experiences and social gatherings are enhanced by the spectacular backdrop of the sea, with doors opening onto a sun-kissed terrace and flourishing gardens.

Across the hall, a well-sized sitting room beckons with its large bay window framing the harbour and an open fireplace adding a touch of warmth and tradition. The ground floor also hosts a utility room, a cloakroom/WC, and a versatile study or office space, perfectly placed for quiet contemplation or professional pursuits.

Ascend to the first floor, where five bedrooms unfold. The crown jewel is the main suite, boasting a private balcony that offers a panoramic embrace of the harbour and the vast sea beyond. This luxurious retreat is complemented by a spacious dressing room and an expansive en-suite bathroom. Two additional en-suite bedrooms, along with two more sharing a bathroom, ensure ample space and privacy for family and guests. Four of the five bedrooms are sanctuaries of serenity with their captivating harbour and sea views.

Tenterleas stands out in Fowey with its exceptionally generous plot. The expansive private rear garden, complete with lush lawns and an extensive terrace, is an oasis for outdoor dining and entertainment.

Unique for Fowey, the property includes an integral double garage on the lower ground floor, adding to its exclusivity.


Tenterleas is a gem among a select few large detached houses on St. Fimbarrus Road. Its prestigious position above The Esplanade affords world-class views over the harbour to Polruan and the open sea. This exceptional location merges the tranquility of a secluded retreat with the convenience of a short walk to Readymoney Cove and the bustling harbourside. Fowey, protected by a narrow harbour entrance flanked by historic castles, is a picturesque tapestry of narrow streets, exclusive shops, galleries, and eateries. Despite its serene waterside setting, it remains well connected, just 3 miles from the London-Penzance railway line, offering an overnight sleeper service from Par or Lostwithiel.
