Set in the heart of Fowey, this chain-free two-bedroom cottage offers strong short‑let or buy-to-let potential thanks to its central riverside position and easy access to local attractions. The ground-floor open-plan kitchen/dining area and a spacious, characterful living room create welcoming communal space that will appeal to holidaymakers and long-term tenants alike. Long lease (998 years) removes common leasehold worries and council tax is inexpensive.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property lies in a high flood‑risk area and has an EPC rating of D. The original granite walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect running costs and comfort unless upgraded. The cottage dates from before 1900 and therefore could require sensitive, period-appropriate maintenance.
Internally the layout is practical: two double bedrooms upstairs, a sizable family bathroom and a convenient ground-floor WC. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are already in place. The town-centre location places shops, cafés, the harbour and ferry terminal on the doorstep, supporting both a lifestyle buyer and a lettings income stream.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located property with clear upside for rental use or a cosy coastal home, provided buyers accept flood exposure and potential insulation/upgrading needs.
