About this property

  • Pencabe is an exceptional contemporary coastal home occupying an elevated south west facing position above the Fowey Estuary, commanding far-reaching views across the River Fowey, the harbour town of Fowey, Polruan and the open sea beyond. Rebuilt in 2016, the property combines striking modern architecture with impressive environmental credentials, including a ground source heat pump, solar panels and underfloor heating throughout. The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to maximise natural light and make full use of the remarkable outlook, with extensive glazing creating a strong connection between the principal living spaces and the surrounding landscape. At the heart of the home is an impressive split-level open plan living space incorporating the kitchen, dining and sitting areas. The layout subtly defines each space whilst retaining a wonderful sense of openness, making it equally suited to everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen has been designed as both a practical workspace and social hub, whilst the sitting area benefits from a feature fireplace with inset woodburning stove. In addition, there is a separate office, ideal for home working or study, together with an exceptionally practical boot room and adjoining wet room, perfectly suited to coastal living and outdoor pursuits.

    Extending to approximately 2,161 sq ft, the accommodation offers a highly adaptable layout centred around four bedrooms and well-appointed bathrooms. The bedrooms have been arranged to make the most of the property's elevated position and peaceful setting, creating bright and comfortable accommodation throughout, with many enjoying the exceptional outlook across the estuary and surrounding coastline. The bathrooms complement the home's contemporary design, while the overall balance of space and functionality ensures the property is equally suited as a principal residence, second home or family retreat. Throughout, careful attention has been paid to combining modern architecture with practical day-to-day living, resulting in a home that is both stylish and welcoming.

    The gardens and grounds are a particularly notable feature of the property, extending to approximately 0.38 acres in total. Rare for a property in this location, they provide a remarkable sense of space and privacy whilst fully embracing the exceptional outlook across the estuary. A series of terraces, lawns and seating areas create numerous vantage points from which to enjoy the ever-changing scenery, afternoon sunshine and spectacular sunsets afforded by the south west facing aspect. The freehold title is complemented by an extensive leasehold lower garden, creating a substantial and highly unusual outdoor offering for this part of Bodinnick. Together, the grounds provide excellent opportunities for relaxation, entertaining and al fresco dining against one of the finest estuary backdrops in Cornwall. The property also benefits from a garage, parking for approximately three vehicles and an electric vehicle charging point, features of considerable value in this highly sought-after waterside setting. Combining contemporary architecture, energy efficiency, generous gardens and outstanding views, Pencabe represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive four-bedroom coastal home overlooking the Fowey Estuary.

Local information

  • Bodinnick occupies a privileged position on the eastern banks of the Fowey Estuary, enjoying commanding views towards Fowey, Polruan and the open sea beyond. Connected to Fowey by the well-established car ferry, which accommodates both vehicles and foot passengers, the village offers a peaceful and distinctly coastal environment whilst providing convenient access to one of Cornwall's most desirable harbour towns. Fowey is renowned for its vibrant waterfront atmosphere, with an excellent selection of independent boutiques, galleries, cafés, pubs and highly regarded restaurants, alongside a thriving sailing community and a busy calendar of maritime and cultural events throughout the year. The property is also conveniently positioned for Penmarlam Boat Park, which provides storage and launching facilities for a wide range of day boats, yachts, kayaks and dinghies, making the location particularly appealing to sailing enthusiasts and those keen to enjoy life on the estuary. Benefitting from an exceptional south west facing aspect, Pencabe enjoys sunshine throughout much of the day alongside far-reaching views across the river and surrounding coastline. Perhaps most unusual are the extensive gardens, which are seldom found in a location where outside space is often at a premium, making this a particularly rare opportunity within one of Cornwall's most sought-after estuary settings.
