Stunning waterfront vistas and charming gardens leading to the shoreline at this idyllic Cornwall residence
**News Article: Charming Stone-Built Property The Garden House Launched onto Market in Polruan-by-Fowey, Cornwall**
Nestled in the heart of Polruan-by-Fowey, a historic seafaring and ship-building village in Cornwall, stands The Garden House, a stone-built property dating back to the 1880s. This stunning property, set in over an acre of beautifully landscaped walled gardens that run all the way down to the water's edge, offers breathtaking views across the Fowey harbour.
The house, which has been owned by the same family for the past 31 years, boasts 4,000sq ft of light-filled living space on three floors. The current owners thoroughly renovated it when they first acquired it and have since extended it to the rear.
The Garden House is currently on the market with a guide price of £3.4 million, jointly marketed by Strutt & Parker and May Whetter & Grose. The property is described as a period house with a wealth of original character details, positioned in a stunning elevated location in Polruan-by-Fowey.
The ground floor includes three good reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, wine cellar, walk-in larder, and laundry. Outside, The Garden House offers additional living space with a summer house and greenhouse. Secure parking is provided for three vehicles in a double garage and on an adjoining platform.
The first floor provides three double bedrooms, one of which could be used as an office. There is also a home gym and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom suite has a large panoramic bay window with wonderful views across the water. Two further bedrooms are located on the second floor.
Polruan itself is an ancient village with historical ties to the sea, dating back at least to the 14th century. The village is situated on the east bank of the River Fowey, just inside the harbour entrance. The Old Vicarage, an 1877 property next to The Garden House, found a buyer last year after coming to market with a guide price of £2.5m. However, it is not part of the current sale.
The village is surrounded by water on three sides and clings to the hillside on the east bank of the River Fowey. The association of Polruan with the sea goes back to at least the 14th century, making it an ideal location for those who love the sea and maritime history.
