Porth Vu

Porth Vu is a luxury split-level apartment located on the first floor of Cobbs Well House. Once a period home within the town, the house has been flawlessly transformed to offer first-class coastal apartments with glorious views of the River Fowey. Upon arrival, sink straight into holiday life as the full height glass facade captures the light and character of the location. The smartly designed George Robinson kitchen offers all you could need and creative chefs will enjoy the inclusive appeal as guests gather at the central island unit whilst dinner is underway. Informal bench style seating and chairs surround the dining table which is a perfect for sunday suppers and for hearty breakfasts (with a river view of course). Relax in the large corner sofa and simply watch the boats go by. The bedrooms are located on the upper mezzanine level where an additional seating area overlooks the social space and also on the ground floor. Each bedroom is dressed in crisp white and cool grey fabrics, offers a contemporary ensuite bathroom and assures of a restful night's sleep. 

From the living space, slide back the tri-fold doors for the ultimate inside/outside atmosphere and enjoy the sights and sounds of life on the water. The charm of Fowey is just a short walk down the hill so days can be spent flipping from home to cafes to the beach at Readymoney Cove. Fowey is nestled between Looe and Mevagissey on the south Cornish coast, an designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its sheltered natural harbour making it a mecca for talented yachtsmen.  This once sleepy town is now alive with bustle from the boutique shops, chic cafes, exhibiting galleries, restaurants and fine dining hotels.  Take a gentle stroll along the Esplanade or don your walking boots for the popular Hall walk bringing you neatly back to a local pub. If getting on the water is part of your plans then hire kayaks to explore the creeks and inlets of the river or try your hand at Paddleboarding. From yachts to dinghies, sailing is at the heart of the town and offers quite a spectacle as the Fowey regatta gets underway in August and sailors the world over make the town a welcome stop over throughout the season. Bookworms will recognise the influence for novelist Daphne Du Maurier who resided just across the water. Exploring the south coast is a joy as green rolling headlands plunge into crystal clear water and flank postcard-perfect Cornish coves.

Cornish Gems are delighted to showcase Porth Vu, as perfect for summer stays and winter escapes, this impeccable home is not to be missed.
