3 bed cottage for sale

Lerryn, Nr Lostwithiel PL22

A semi detached 3 bedroom character cottage located near the centre of this sought-after waterside village. Pretty gardens, close to riverside walks. No onward chain.

The Location

Lerryn is a beautiful waterside village situated upstream from Fowey town and harbour. The village has its own pub and primary school and is approximately 3 miles from the historic Stannary town of Lostwithiel. Formerly the ancient capital of Cornwall, Lostwithiel has a good range of small shops and business catering for most day to day needs, community centre/sports hall, main line railway station and golf course.

The pretty harbour town of Fowey is one of Cornwall's most historical and unspoilt sea ports renowned for it's safe deep water anchorage and sailing - a haven for sailors with sailing and yacht clubs, and regular racing during Summer months.

The larger towns of Bodmin, Liskeard and St. Austell are all under a 30 minute drive away. The nearby A30 and A38 provide access to the motorway network and Newquay Airport provides regular flights to London and various European destinations.

The Property

Formerly part of Mixton Farmhouse, this charming cottage offers spacious 3 bedroom accommodation. Located in a quiet part of the village, yet only a short walk to the river and riverside walks, the property faces south with the main rooms light and sunny and the house is well placed as either a main or second home.

The enclosed gardens lie to the south west of the cottage and attract sun for most of the day. Parking is available on the road to one side of the property.
