Your attention is drawn to the Important Notice on the last page of the brochure. Situation The River Fowey is one of Cornwall’s most spectacular, unspoilt and picturesque waterfront locations. It is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and lies midway along the stretch of coastline from Gribbin Head to Polperro, which has Heritage Coast status. W t s T Pont Pill joins the River Fowey at Penleath Point at the north-eastern corner of Fowey Harbour, where much of the wooded banks are in the ownership of the National Trust. A stunning footpath, known as the Hall Walk, runs between Bodinnick and Polruan and then in turn continues along the South Cornish coast. The novelist Daphne Du Maurier came to Fowey in her early twenties and immediately fell in love with the town, and her parents bought a house in Boddinick in 1926. It was here that she wrote The Loving Spirit in 1931. Today, the Du Maurier Festival is an important annual event in the Fowey Calendar. The pretty harbour town of Fowey, on the opposite side of the bank, is one of Cornwall’s most historic and unspoilt seaport towns renowned for its safe deep water anchorage and sailing. In the summer months, Fowey is a haven for sailors with the Royal Fowey Yacht Club, Gallants Sailing Club and regular racing events. Car and passenger ferries link the nearby Bodinnick and Polruan with Fowey, and run constantly during daylight hours providing easy access to the town’s shops and amenities. There are mainline railway stations at Lostwithiel, Par, St Austell and Bodmin that provide a direct link to London Paddington. The south coast ports of Polperro and Looe are about 15 miles to the east and Truro is about 25 miles away. Newquay Airport provides regular flights to London Gatwick as well as other European destinations. Pencalenick House Set directly into the southern bank of the stunning Pont Pill Creek, Pencalenick House is a fine example of contemporary architecture and offers some outstanding south west facing views over its own beach and the River Fowey. The house was commissioned to the renowned London Architectural practice, Seth Stein Architects, and since its construction has been nominated for and won a variety of architectural awards. Locally sourced stone, cedar wood and a grass roof have been used in the construction to ensure the house is inconspicuous from the water, adding to the privacy and seclusion of the property. Approached via a long drive, sweeping down towards the creek, the house appears nestled under its grass roof with a decked terrace to one side that enjoys sensational views over the creek. A large sliding glass door gives access to the double height open plan living room with floor to ceiling windows that provide views across the water. Perhaps the most striking feature is the glass walkway, which overlooks the main living room, lit from above by natural light from a glass roof panel that runs almost the entire length of the house. There are five double en-suite bedrooms and two smaller bedrooms, spread across the two floors. Each has clean lines, wooden shutters and sliding windows that give access to the terraces overlooking the creek. The property is incredibly private, a rare asset in a waterfront location, and is surrounded by delightful woodland. There is a lawn area and paved terrace to the front. The slipway is accessed from the terrace and the woodland pathway leads to a secluded barbecue area in the woods, which enjoys some of the most magical views down the creek.
