In Lerryn, a two minute stroll from the pub, shop and woodland walks along the creek, a semi-detached Georgian cottage on two levels with lovely long meadow and woodland views to the creek. This cottage has been owned and loved by generations of the same family, and you will find your own family will love it just as much. Step down into the living room which has a cosy wood burning stove, dining table and chairs, and a window seat with a view over the village; there is a second smaller living room with toys, a dining room leading down via a few steps to the smart fitted kitchen with a utility area (beware low lintel), sink and toilet. Head upstairs to three bedrooms, a double with lovely creek views, and two twin rooms, (one with 2'6'' beds). Family bathroom. There is a large garden (pets to be supervised), accessed by shallow steps, with a big patio, garden furniture, large lawn and shady trees. A hidden, welcoming gem, a good location for families, walkers, artists and painters. It's a short drive to nearby Lostwithiel with its shops, pub, restaurants, castle and railway station, or the pretty fishing village of Fowey.

For those seeking peace, tranquillity and the unspoilt splendour of Cornwall's ‘softer' southern coast there can be few finer spots than Lerryn. Sitting at the very point where the River Lerryn joins the highest tidal reach of a creek leading up from the Fowey estuary, the village has a timeless, natural beauty no matter the season.
