SETTING THE SCENE

Lerryn is a charming and pretty village straddling the river of the same name, which joins the beautiful River Fowey further downstream. The village has a pub, shop and primary school, whilst the town of Lostwithiel lies just over 3 miles away. Formerly the ancient capital of Cornwall, and its busiest port until about 1355, Lostwithiel has a railway station on the London Paddington - Penzance mainline (with overnight 'sleeper' service), a good range of small shops and cafes, a community centre/sports hall, the Gillyflower Golf Course and Duchy Nurseries.

Downstream where the river meets the open sea, the smart harbour town of Fowey is one of Cornwall's most historic and unspoilt sea ports, renowned for it's safe deep-water anchorage - a haven for sailors with regular racing during the summer months. To the north, the village of Lerryn is protected by the thousands of acres of the historic and beautiful Boconnoc Estate, seat of the Fortescue family.

The nearby A30 and A38 provide access to the motorway network and Newquay Airport provides regular flights to London and various European destinations.

THE TOUR

Rivendell is a charming four-bedroom home located at the end of a picturesque village, right on the banks of the Fowey Estuary, with peaceful views over the water. Thoughtfully renovated and beautifully presented, the pretty white facade is punctuated by attractive hardwood windows and climbing roses, all sitting beneath a silvered, traditional slate roof. The interiors are elegant and refined, employing natural materials and a soft muted palette to create a bright and tranquil ambience. Original details have been preserved, framing and ornamenting serene living spaces, whilst modern comforts have been cleverly incorporated, making it perfectly suited for contemporary waterside living at its best.

A superb open-plan kitchen and dining area leads through a wide hallway to a spacious sitting room with inglenook fire, shower room, utility and the first of four bedrooms. Upstairs, there are three more double bedrooms and a family bathroom, including a light-filled principal suite. This main bedroom overlooks the estuary, where the light catches the water and casts gentle reflections on the ceilings above, and has a large ensuite that opens onto a private terraced garden—perfect for morning coffee!

STEP OUTSIDE

Approached via a private road that runs along the estuary, the house is tucked neatly behind a sunny, gated courtyard garden, with a rich tapestry of colourful planted boarders and hedging, providing privacy whilst framing the water views. A pretty cobbled driveway offers parking for two cars, with steps leading up to the generous rear garden.

The garden itself is wonderfully private and beautifully landscaped, arranged in a series of perfectly formed terraces featuring formal lawns, sun-dappled courtyards, and beautifully curated flower beds well-stocked with established shrubs. There's also a charming summerhouse, an outbuilding, and an orchard at the top that opens into the countryside beyond. The property extends to include a long stretch of road and riverbank in front, offering direct water access, complete with a small private jetty.
