Set on elevated ground in Polruan, this detached five-bedroom house offers wide estuary views and comfortable multi-level living for growing families. The master suite occupies the top floor with an en-suite and sitting area overlooking the Fowey Estuary; four further well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom sit across the first and second floors. Living spaces include a large sitting room with solid wooden floors and wood burner, and a contemporary kitchen/diner with doors to the garden and a recently fitted Range cooker.
Practical benefits include private off-road parking, a large garage and detached outbuilding currently used as a utility room. The garage/store and outbuilding have annexe conversion potential, subject to necessary planning consents. The plot is a decent size with stepped, landscaped garden and a patio for outdoor dining and estuary views.
Important negatives are factual and should influence budgets: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, the walls are original granite with assumed no insulation, and the EPC is D — improvement works may be needed to reduce running costs. The property sits in an area with average broadband and mobile coverage, and local schools have Ofsted ratings of "Requires improvement," which may matter to families.
Polruan itself offers a quiet coastal lifestyle with a village shop, pubs, ferry link to Fowey, and excellent walking and sailing nearby. This home suits families wanting generous accommodation and strong location appeal, while buyers should allow for potential retrofit, planning work for annexe conversion, and ongoing maintenance associated with traditional stone construction.
