5 bed detached house for sale

Tavern Barn, Fowey PL23

Tavern Barn is located approximately three quarters of a mile from the ancient town centre of Fowey, and its quays, offering immediate access to the Fowey estuary. It is also located within half a mile of pleasant countryside walks, Fowey leisure centre, secondary and primary schools and is also just over one mile from the beautiful Readymoney Cove and St Catherines Castle.

Mainline railway services between London Paddington are available at Par (approx. Three and a half miles west), with the nearby town of St Austell (approx. Seven miles west) offering further everyday amenities and major supermarkets.

The property occupies a generous plot with a brick paved driveway offering parking space for three cars in front of an integral garage.

The front garden has an array of borders and retaining walls containing a profusion of mature plants and shrubs with side access leading to the rear garden. The rear garden is a generous size and has raised brick paved terraces, one of which houses a large timber garden lodge, which is included as part of the sale. The garden has one terrace of level lawn with a lower terrace where a timber storage shed and greenhouses are located. One can enjoy fantastic countryside views from the rear garden which benefits from sunshine throughout the day and into the evening.

The property itself has an inverse accommodation layout and is entered from the driveway into the first floor via a storm porch and front door leading to the entrance hall. From the entrance hall, internal doors open to the integral garage, separate WC, useful storage room, separate study and office (which could both be used as additional bedrooms). There is an impressive kitchen dining room which has a high specification, featuring quartz work surfaces. The dual aspect sitting room has French doors opening onto a balcony which offers panoramic, countryside views.

The ground floor comprises all the bedrooms and main bathroom. It offers holiday letting potential with bedroom five being slightly separated from the other bedrooms; it is of a generous size and benefits from its own ensuite shower room with an adjacent utility and kitchen area (which has its own entrance door).

Bedroom one is a generous double with doors opening to built-in wardrobe space and an ensuite bathroom. Bedroom two is a double bedroom with a window to the rear elevation, offering a pleasant outlook over the garden and countryside views. Bedroom three is a small double/generous single with a built-in wardrobe space. Bedroom four is a single bedroom which enjoys an aspect over the rear garden and offers pleasant countryside views. Situated on the ground floor is also modern bathroom which serves as the main family bathroom.

To summarise, this is a deceptively spacious detached home in a sought-after location, and a physical viewing is strongly encouraged to appreciate everything it has to offer.
