With lovely views over the village to the sea and coastline, this attractive, contemporary detached house with unusual architectural features is set at the top of Polruan, across the estuary from Fowey. Entered from the open driveway where there is space for 2-3 cars, a short gravel path leads through the garden to the fully glazed front door, opening to a hallway with central staircase, impressively high ceiling and a stripped wood floor.

The ground floor accommodation furnished in a seaside décor with soft tones, comprises a cloakroom W.C. and hand basin, a twin bedded room and a bathroom with bath and vanity basin. At the far end there is a snug area with a Jetmaster log fire set into the wall, casual seating next to the slate hearth and double glazed French doors to a decked patio, ideal for alfresco dining. An archway leads through to an adjacent kitchen/dining room with a limestone floor, modern fitted units including an electric range cooker and floor length windows overlooking the village and sea beyond.

A carpeted staircase leads up to a mezzanine level where there are a utility room with laundry facilities, a walk-in wet room with shower W.C. and hand basin and a bedroom with two single beds and French windows to a sheltered sundeck. Stairs continue up to the first floor and a light, south facing sitting room with exposed beamed ceiling, leather settees and patio doors opening to a balcony with lovely views out to the sea and coastline. To one side of the lounge, a door leads into the master bedroom with a kingsize bed, coastal views and built-in wardrobes.

The Mediterranean style garden incorporates a paved patio and decked area bordered by flowerbeds, shrubs and tall grasses and enjoys village and countryside views with the sea in the distance - the garden is not enclosed and there is an unguarded drop down to the road below. The house has many interesting characteristics but low windows, stairs and the balcony make it unsuitable for children under the age of 7.

Polruan has a small selection of shops and pubs next to the quayside just under half a mile away down the steep hill and a foot ferry operates from here across the river to Fowey where there is a wider selection of amenities. The coves and beaches of Lansallos and Lantic Bay are a short distance away and the South West coastal path offers excellent walking and lovely scenery to Pencarrow Head. Polperro is 5 miles and Looe about 9 miles.
