Set on the second floor of a handsome Georgian terrace in central Fowey, this two-bedroom apartment offers a compact, light-filled home or long-term rental in a highly desirable coastal town. The open-plan living space and front-facing windows make the most of the apartment’s natural light and period proportions. The property is being sold with vacant possession and a long 999-year lease (from 2005) with share of freehold, giving rare long-term security for a town-centre flat.
Practical running costs are modest: Council Tax band B and a below-average service charge of £500 per annum. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators, glazing is double glazed, and there is no flooding risk. The apartment’s size (approximately 659 sq ft) and layout suit a second home, downsizer or investor seeking a long-term let (note: holiday letting is prohibited by covenant).
There are some immediate works to consider. The bathroom requires modernisation and the living areas show signs of dated finishes; image notes indicate potential damp or mould in places. The building is solid brick with assumed no wall insulation, so buyers should allow for potential improvements to thermal performance. Services and appliances have not been tested.
Location is a key strength: Fowey is a renowned sailing and tourist town with shops, restaurants, and coastal walks on the doorstep. Good transport links to Par and St Austell provide access to rail connections and the wider region. Overall this is a straightforward, characterful apartment with secure long lease terms and realistic scope to update for personal occupation or long-term lettings.
