Setting The Scene - Protected by a narrow harbour entrance between two castles, the pretty harbour town of Fowey on the south coast of England remains largely as it has been for years, with narrow streets winding through the town near the waters edge. The Royal Fowey Yacht Club and Fowey Gallants Sailing Club bookend the town with plenty of interesting shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants between. A haven for the keen sailor, the harbour is full of deep water moorings and the estuary provides access to St Austell Bay and the rest of the spectacular south Cornish coastline, including the Fal and Helford Estuaries further west.
Polruan lies on the east bank of the beautiful River Fowey, tucked just inside the harbour entrance opposite Fowey. The village has its own general stores, sub post office, coffee shops, two public houses and a long-established and busy boat building and ship repair yard. The village is connected to Fowey by a regular passenger ferry and the immediate area is surrounded by many miles of wonderful coast and countryside, much of which is in the ownership of the National Trust. The exceptional coastal footpath known as The Hall Walk runs between Polruan and Bodinnick where the celebrated novelist, Daphne Du Maurier, settled and worked in a riverside house overlooking Fowey.
Despite this idyllic waterside setting, Fowey is only 3 miles from the main London-Penzance main railway line, with an overnight 'sleeper' service from either Par or Lostwithiel.
Waterside Living - Situated in the middle of this traditional Cornish fishing village, the house and cottage offer waterside living at its best. The basement workshop provides ample storage space for sailing kit/canoes/SUPs at the same level as the water access. The two frape lines (outhaul moorings) give year-round access to the water via boats. At low tide the steps lead down onto the beach. This unique property offers the opportunity to truly live and breathe a life by the sea.
