**Location**
Rockrose is situated in an elevated south facing position only a short walk
from Downderry and Seaton Beaches. This is an established residential area
within the village comprising a mix of individual detached houses in a prized
location on a stretch of coastline often referred to as the Cornish Riviera.
From this position the property enjoys awe inspiring views with dramatic
sunrises and sunsets and the passage of yachts and ships provides a truly
distracting outlook.
Downderry and Seaton have a primary school (rated "good" by Ofsted),
restaurant, beachside public house, church, beach café and doctors' surgery.
There is a superb farm shop with cafe at Widegates catering for most day to
day needs. Similar facilities are available at St Germans, which also has a
main line railway station providing a useful commuter link to Plymouth
(Plymouth to London Paddington 3 hours). Seaton also has a Countryside Park
with riverside and woodland walks.
Downderry was in recent years noted by the Sunday Times in a list of the top
ten "Best Places to Live by the sea". Golf is available at Portwrinkle, St
Mellion International Golf Resort, or Looe Bindown. The South West Coast Path
is accessed nearby with parts of the neighbouring coastline in the ownership
of the National Trust. The beach has a slipway and offers the opportunity to
keep and launch boats (by permit). Seaton beach benefits from a rnli Lifeguard
station during the summer.
The sailing waters of the area are favoured by yachtsmen and deep water
moorings are available on the Rivers Lynher and Tamar at St Germans, Saltash
and Fowey/Polruan. Saltash has a Waitrose store on its northern outskirts and
the city of Plymouth offers an abundance of facilities centred around the
historic and fascinating waterfront areas of the Barbican and Hoe. The Tamar
Valley Area of Outstanding Beauty, the famous surfing beaches of North
Cornwall, the Rame Peninsula, Mount Edgecumbe Country Park, historic country
houses and many other places of interest lie within an easy drive.
