Renovated three-bedroom stone cottage, circa 1800
Tucked down a quiet pedestrian lane in the heart of Fowey, this freshly renovated three-bedroom mid-terrace cottage blends period character with contemporary finishes. Recent updates include a light-filled glass-roofed kitchen extension, modern bathroom and ensuite, underfloor heating to parts of the ground floor, and quality joinery throughout — the house is ready to move into.
The rear courtyard garden is a low-maintenance sun trap bordered by an attractive stone wall, ideal for alfresco dining or a small container garden. At around 977 sq ft, the layout feels deceptively spacious with an airy kitchen-dining space and a comfortable living room featuring an original fireplace and arched recess.
Practical notes: the property is freehold and offered chain-free, with mains gas central heating and double glazing (installed pre-2002). The EPC is C and council tax band D. The cottage dates from circa 1800 and appears to retain traditional timber-frame construction; insulation details are not confirmed.
Important drawback: the location is within a high flood risk area — prospective buyers should check flood cover, local defences and long-term insurance costs. The plot is small and there’s no indicated off-street parking. Overall this is a well-presented town cottage suited to someone seeking a low-maintenance principal home, second home or holiday-let in a coveted coastal town.
