A four-bedroom detached house in the heart of Fowey
Topsides is a charming, light-filled, and versatile dormer bungalow, situated in an elevated position directly accessed from the popular Esplanade. Throughout the property, breathtaking panoramas of the estuary, with its shimmering waters and the charming village of Polruan in the distance, can be appreciated. Sunny, private outdoor seating areas provide a perfect setting for soaking in the picturesque views, allowing you to relax and enjoy your surroundings.
Built in 1962, using The Cornish Unit, this property is not of standard construction and may not be mortgageable with some lenders.
Ground Floor - A welcoming hallway, with convenient coat storage and an additional cupboard that cleverly conceals the washing machine and tumble dryer, leads to a triple-aspect open-plan living room. The bright kitchen, featuring flat white gloss doors and a window to the rear, opens to a spacious area suitable for accommodating a large family dining table. The seating area, which includes a large picture window, floods the room with natural light and offers impressive views. A stable door provides access to the patio to the rear.
Across the hallway, you'll find a good sized dual-aspect bedroom that boasts a fully tiled en suite with a corner bath. This room also benefits from stunning sea views and has a light and airy feel. A further bedroom offers views of the garden and rear.
First Floor - A wide, winding staircase ascends to a fantastic second reception. Once again, a large picture window fills this room with light and frames the most wonderful views down the estuary, past Polruan blockhouse, a 1380 chain tower, to the open sea.
Additionally, there are two more double bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom. Both rooms are dual-aspect, include eaves storage, and offer stunning views. There is also a family bathroom.
Gardens and Exterior - Steps rise past an area affectionately known as the strawberry patch. A wooden gate opens into a delightful garden with a level lawn, surrounded by mature shrubs including a magnificent Magnolia tree. To the side, a sheltered decking area, with glass balustrade, provides the perfect spot to observe the comings and goings along the river while enjoying the soothing sounds of the seaside. A lovely touch of character can be found on the back wall, where an old well, nestled behind a cluster of blooming iris lilies, adds a layer of historical charm to this picturesque setting.
Although there is no parking adjacent to the property a permit can be obtained for the nearby Squires car park.

The views are to die for and ease of access straight on to the Esplanade - wonderful!
