Castle Fields22 ST FIMBARRUS ROAD, FOWEY, CORNWALL

Situated on one of Fowey’s most sought after roads, a sumptuously refurbished, extended and distinguished detached coastal residence of obvious quality, enjoying an elevated setting in beautiful private gardens, adjoining National Trust land, with spectacular and panoramic views over Fowey Harbour to Polruan, Pont Pill and the surrounding countryside, out along the coast and across the river to open sea.

DESCRIPTIONThe property occupies a prime position within the town of Fowey with wonderful, elevated views out over the natural harbour and the open sea. The gardens side on to a National Trust owned field which provides further lovely views to open sea and we understand is covenanted not to be developed.

Castle Fields was originally built in the late 1950’s to the design and specification of Mr L P Mendels MBE to what was even then a high specification. The current owners have carried out a thorough and tasteful refurbishment and extended the property to the rear. This fine house is now sumptuously presented with tasteful neutral decorations throughout, renewed sanitaryware, a luxury kitchen with glass fronted German Häcker units in contrasting white/blackberry colours and Corian worktops, wall splashbacks, an island breakfast bar, and an excellent range of quality integrated appliances. New double glazed windows and doors have been installed in Accoya, sprayed in super deck white. There is travertine tiled flooring throughout the ground floor communal areas, kitchen dining room and in the Amdega conservatory. The study has been fitted with a range of Strachen furniture and the master bedroom has a range of high gloss white fronted wardrobes, finished in acrylic Parapan.

The carefully planned and extended accommodation is arranged over three floors and provides ample room for a family and guests with delightful open-plan reception areas facing the views and ancillary accommodation to the rear. Across the front of the house is a large L-shaped drawing room, and an Amdega conservatory, both of which have double doors out on to the terrace overlooking the harbour. The beautifully re-equipped L-shaped kitchen/dining room is accessed from the conservatory and hall enjoying lovely river/harbour views. To the rear is the stair hall, cloakroom, library and a large utility room with a connecting door to the integral double garage.

On the first floor is a wonderful master bedroom suite with white fronted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. On this floor there are four further bedrooms, three of which have en-suite facilities and one of which is currently used as a study. On the second floor is a double bedroom, together with a large attic space, providing excellent storage with skylight windows and distinct potential for future conversion, subject to any necessary consents. All the main bedrooms enjoy sea/harbour views.

An electrically gated access opens onto a brick pavioured driveway that sweeps through the gardens and up to the rear of the house where it provides a wide parking and turning area and access to the integral double garage. There are delightful landscaped, well stocked terraces in front of the house enjoying the views. To the rear is a private lawned garden and on one side a strip of garden has raised vegetable beds, espaliered fruit trees along a south facing wall and a pedestrian gate to Hanson Drive. To the left of the house is an enclosed paved courtyard with useful workshop, above which is a greenhouse.

LOCATIONCastle Fields enjoys an enviable and sought after location on one of Fowey’s most prestigious no through residential roads. Set within gorgeous mature established gardens in an elevated position that affords the house and harbour facing terraces wonderful panoramic views over Fowey harbour to Polruan up river to Pont Pill and further views over an adjoining National Trust owned field, the harbour mouth, open sea and along the coastline.

Fowey is one of Cornwall’s most historic and unspoilt seaport towns, which grew from a fisherman’s village and developed into an important naval seaport in the 14th Century as well as a busy base for pirates. Fowey is renowned for its safe, deep water anchorage and excellent sailing with the natural harbour at the mouth of the Fowey river being a charming and picturesque inlet between imposing headlands. The river is navigable for some 6 miles inland to the town of Lostwithiel, with a good depth of water for the first mile or so. Fowey has all the activity of a busy working harbour with ships from many nations entering and leaving. A car/passenger ferry links Fowey with Bodinnick, running constantly during daylight hours.

The town is an intricate maze of steep narrow streets formed by slate roofed granite houses and shops. It has survived the past century virtually unscathed by development and has associations with Daphne Du Maurier and Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch (Fowey is ‘Troy Town’ in his novels). In August the harbour is the scene of the Royal Regatta – one of the country’s finest. Amenities include profuse seafood restaurants, pubs, antique shops, galleries, a small hospital, primary and secondary schools. The world famous Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are both close by with St Catherine’s Castle (an English Heritage property) one of Henry VIII’s coastal fortifications, standing to the south of the town near Readymoney Beach.

In a wide ranging survey, Fowey has previously been ranked as joint third as the best places in Britain for quality of life. Castle Fields occupies an exceptional location within the town with all of the amenities within easy reach, whilst easy vehicular access, plenty of parking and garaging are undeniable assets within the town, making this property likely to be regarded as one of Fowey’s finest.
