This charming mid-terrace period cottage sits tucked away in a quiet lane in the heart of Fowey, recently renovated and offered chain free. The accommodation spans three storeys with a bright kitchen/diner, cosy sitting room with wood-burning stove, a ground-floor shower room and a first-floor bathroom — practical layouts that work for a main home, holiday let or second home.
Renovated around four years ago, the property retains character features such as exposed stone, sash windows and wooden floors while providing modern comforts including double glazing, mains gas central heating and a contemporary kitchen. A raised patio and small gravel courtyard provide useful outdoor space for al fresco dining and town/riverside glimpses — rare for central locations.
Important practical points: the cottage is freehold but lies in a high flood risk area and is currently rated for business rates rather than standard council tax (reflecting recent holiday-let use). The mid-terrace granite walls are likely uninsulated as built, which may affect energy efficiency despite the EPC C rating. The plot and internal rooms are modest in size, so the home is best suited to buyers comfortable with compact, multi-storey living.
Overall this is a well-presented period cottage in an enviable Fowey location that combines character and modern convenience. It will particularly appeal to buyers seeking a low-maintenance town base, a holiday-let opportunity, or a charming second home — provided they factor in flood risk and the compact footprint.
