We are privileged to receive instructions to market this beautifully restored and maintained townhouse set with its pretty secluded garden divided from Quay Street by a high wall and gate just a few yards from the river Fowey.
The property is located in the heart of old Lostwithiel with part of the property at the rear being over a medieval street arch over the little lane known as South Street, with its arch also adjoining the old Debtors Prison. Within a few yards will be found Duchy Palace, a magnificent building said to be the oldest non ecclesiastical building dating back to 1265 - 1300 AD.
The accommodation on three levels enjoys delightful views from various points. From the ground floor there is a fine staircase with sweeping banister leading to the first floor and large principal landing area. A door then leads to the sitting room from where fine views towards the river and Quay Street can be enjoyed from two windows one being a bay window over the street. Here will be found a large original fireplace in decorative cast iron and with a marble surround and slate hearth.
Returning to the ground floor the entrance hall then leads to the ground floor double bedroom with its own en-suite shower room and w.c. and then to the left into the magnificent kitchen and dining room with its solid oak floor, there are elegant period doors with shutters which lead onto the garden and with fine range of cabinets in keeping with granite worktops and a twin ceramic sink. Modern comforts include an AEG electric oven and four ring gas hob and a delightful old fireplace housing a multi-fuel stove set on a brick hearth and brick arch over.
On the first floor and wide landing then extends into an inner hall area with an extensive range of built in cupboards set into the very deep old stone walls. The second double bedroom will be found on the left hand side with a large window with shutters enjoying fine views.   A fireplace with slate surround and hearth has been retained here.
To the right hand end of the landing a door leads then into the bathroom, sumptuously appointed with a high quality oval bath with exposed timber frame support and central taps, similarly a free standing basin with wood pedestal set inside feature archway, a low level w.c. and a large shower cubicle.
A second staircase then leads to the second floor with two large attic double bedrooms, one with two windows and the second with one, enjoying views overlooking the garden and the river.
Externally the property is approached through the high gate from Quay Street with its inset iron work then leading into the delightful and mature gardens with a profusion of mature shrubs and trees and good screening and with winding and crazy paved paths, a terrace to the front and a further paved sitting area. There is an open store at one end adjoining the high wall by the street and a small garden shed.
Although the property does not have any parking, nevertheless there is unrestricted road side parking outside and a free car park opposite adjoining the river.
A moments walk from the property can be enjoyed a stroll on the riverbank, then leading down through to Culson Park at the end of which will be found Shire Hall Nature Reserve, an outstanding quiet area adjoining the meanders of the river where a profusion of wild birds, including swans, cormorants, ducks, herons and others are regular visitors.
Being just of the heart of the old town, easy level walk gives access to a range of antiques and curios shops, restaurants, good local shopping including a Co-operative store and St Bartholomew's Parish Church.
The old stannery town of Lostwithiel is one of the most sought after small towns in the county being set at the lowest bridging point of the river Fowey. Nearby will be found historic Restormel Castle, reputed to have been the home of the Black Prince. Other town conveniences include the benefit of a mainline railway station between Paddington and Penzance and close by the Lostwithiel Golf Course and Country Club.
Rarely can be found on the market a home of such distinction with its period charm, yet with all facilities and the beautiful river Fowey immediately at hand.
