Guide price £645,000
Features of property A hidden gem, Lerryn is one of the most picturesque waterside villages in Cornwall nestling amidst glorious unspoilt countryside and standing at the head of a creek on the tidal reaches of the Fowey estuary. The village provides a range of everyday facilities including the 16th century Ship Inn, a post office/general stores, village hall and primary school. Approximately 3.5 miles distant is the ancient Stannary town of Lostwithiel sitting astride the River Fowey and retaining a number of fine buildings. The centre of the town has been designated a Conservation Area and boasts an interesting array of shops together with pubs, restaurants, banks and a health centre. The tranquil spot that was the inspiration behind The Wind in the Willows, Lerryn remains a delightful haven for those who enjoy messing about in boats. There are also superb scenic walks along both sides of the river banks into woods owned by The National Trust on one side and private woodland on the other. There is a mainline railway station situated at Lostwithiel and both the main trunk roads of the A38 and A30 are readily accessible. THE PROPERTY Occupying an enviable waterside position in the very heart of the village, The Old Forge has a gate leading from the
garden onto the river bank with steps descending to the foreshore. The current owner has the use of an adjacent mooring which may potentially be transferable and purchasers are advised to make their own enquiries. As the name suggests, The Old Forge is thought to have been one of a small number of dwellings converted from the original village forge and now offers enchanting character accommodation that retains a number of traditional features.
