The Location

Lerryn is a beautiful waterside village situated upstream from Fowey town and harbour. The village has its own pub, shop, sub post office and primary school and is approximately 3 miles from the historic Stannary town of Lostwithiel. Formerly the ancient capital of Cornwall, Lostwithiel has a good range of small shops and business catering for most day to day needs, community centre/sports hall, main line railway station and golf course.

The pretty harbour town of Fowey is one of Cornwall's most historical and unspoilt sea ports renowned for it's safe deep water anchorage and sailing - a haven for sailors with sailing and yacht clubs, and regular racing during Summer months.

The larger towns of Bodmin, Liskeard and St. Austell are all under a 30 minute drive away. The nearby A30 and A38 provide access to the motorway network and Newquay Airport provides regular flights to London and various European destinations.

The Property

Located on the St Veep side of the river, the property sits above a small inlet and offers pretty views of lower bridge and the river and village beyond.

Recently renovated by the current owner, the cottage offers spacious accommodation over two floors with lovely views to the river and village. Situated close to the centre of the village, there are easily accessible walks along both sides of the river - an ideal location for dog walks and with easy access to the river, the perfect place for paddle boarding or just generally messing about in boats!

The accommodation combines both characterful cottage and contemporary styles with flair. As soon as you enter the property, there is a spacious, light and airy feel.

A door opens to the entrance hall which leads through to the well appointed kitchen/breakfast room which gets sun throughout the morning. There is an opening through to the sitting room with lovely views from a large window which looks out to the garden and the river. A door provides access to the garden - an ideal area for al fresco dining and relaxation.

From the sitting room a door opens to the front hall and stairs lead to the first floor where there is a generous sized landing, currently used by the owner as an office/study area.

There is a lovely principal bedroom with an attractive wooden floor and super views over the garden to the creek and river. A built in cupboard offers storage space and a further bedroom also has built in storage cupboards and wooden flooring

The recently refurbished bathroom has an attractive tiled floor, freestanding bath, WC and wash basin.

Accessed from the entrance hall, the garage has an up and over door, with window at the rear (5.4m x 2.9m).

Outside

The property benefits from a rear garden, laid mainly to lawn and enclosed by stone walling which borders the creek. A summerhouse offers a sheltered space for an evening glass of wine. A gate to the side of the cottage gives access to the parking area in front of the property.

A large detached outbuilding is positioned across the lane and is currently being used by the owner as a workshop/art studio. It benefits from water, electricity and central heating and could be used for a variety of uses (subject to any necessary permissions).
