Set on the east bank of the Fowey Estuary in the heart of the historic fishing and shipbuilding village of Polruan in South Cornwall, this charming contemporary-style retreat is perfectly placed for a relaxed stay in Cornwall. You’re within half a mile of shops, pubs and a family-friendly beach, while the South West Coast Path is outside your door for morning walks with your best friend - the route towards Polperro (6.5 miles) offers spectacular hilltop views.

Take a flight of external steps towards the property entrance and head inside towards contemporary country-style interiors. This three-storey home offers two bedrooms, a utility, a family bathroom, and access to a terrace on the lower ground floor. There’s an en-suite bedroom with stunning sea views on the first floor, while the heart of the home is on the ground floor with the stylish living space and three steps down to the well-equipped kitchen for family mealtimes. Watch boats come and go from the comfort of the cosy seating in the living area and make plans for each new day of adventures in Cornwall.

Feel history at your feet in the winding lanes of Polruan and see the 8th-century church on Polruan Hill; watch boats clinking in the tiny harbour; and venture towards Ferryside house (3.5 miles) where author Daphne du Maurier wrote her first novel. Discover Lantic Bay cove (1.5 miles), and Hall Walk (3.5 miles). Explore Restormel Castle (11.5 miles), Bodmin Moor (16 miles), and Helman Tor Nature Reserve (17.5 miles). At Cardinham Woods (19.5 miles), waymarked trails showcase the best of nature; while a china clay heritage, and a modern brewery beckon from St Austell (18.5 miles).
