**Location**
The glorious cornish riviera - The property is situated in an elevated south
facing and prized near beachfront position in the centre of the village
environment and only a short walk from Downderry Beach on a stretch of
coastline often referred to as the Cornish Riviera. The constant passage of
commercial, naval and pleasure craft across the bay, provides an
extraordinary, distracting and inspirational outlook.
Downderry and Seaton have a primary school (rated "good" by Ofsted),
restaurant, beachside public house, church, beach café, village store, post
office and doctors' surgery. 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, historic country houses and many other places of interest lie within
an easy drive.

yards from the slipway and beach, the principal rooms all command beautiful
views over the coastline and sea with the iconic landmarks of Rame Head in the
east, the Eddystone Lighthouse shining on the south horizon and Looe Island in
the west.
Whilst the original cottage is of traditional stone construction, the property
has some mundic block additions in the construction and we therefore invite
interest and offers from cash buyers only. A copy of the mundic block test is
available by email from Scott Parry Associates. The mundic block has been
subject to a stage 2 test and has been classified as "B". Referencing the
report mundic appears to be present in the two storey east wing, the internal
partition wall to the dining room, the rear first floor landing/bedroom and
also in the loft.

1919 (104 years) and is believed to date from about 1780 originating as two
fisherman's cottages. This is the first time that the property has been
available to purchase in that time. The cottage has the benefit of partial
double glazing and oil fired central heating. The east wing extension may have
the potential for conversion/creation of a self contained annexe/guest wing
depending upon individual needs and subject to any consents that may be
required.
