Little In Sight, Fowey is a quirky, historic cottage spread across three floors, entered through an ancient front door full of character. At the top of the house, beneath a striking vaulted ceiling, you'll find a fabulous open-plan living area with plenty of comfy seating and a Smart TV. The compact kitchen sits just off this space, while three steps lead up to the dining area, where French doors open onto the garden. On the ground floor, a handy shower and utility room offers extra practicality for busy family days.
Heading outside, the impressive, sloping garden is backed by the crenellated wall of Place House, with a level, paved terrace, table and chairs, and a barbecue for alfresco dining beneath views to St Fimbarrus Church's bell tower. Accommodation comprises three bedrooms: a light, bright twin room downstairs, and upstairs, a double bedroom with exposed beams alongside a cosy single, sharing a fresh, coastal-toned bathroom. Parking is available in a nearby public car park, leaving you free to explore Fowey's cobbled streets on foot.
Picture evenings spent beneath the vaulted ceiling, the murmur of the harbour drifting up from below, or mornings sipping coffee with views across rooftops to the estuary. Days might be spent pottering along the quayside, browsing boutiques, or watching boats bob in Fowey's busy harbour. As dusk falls, retreat to your enclosed garden for a barbecue beneath the bell tower, the scent of salt air mingling with woodsmoke and happy memories in the making.
