Lerryn

The subject of a complete modern treatment by the acclaimed architect MJ Long, this beautifully renovated home is sited directly on the water’s edge in the Cornish village of Lerryn, around ten miles north of Fowey. The interior living space of over 2,100 sq ft is orientated towards the wonderful river views, with the original features modestly celebrated in a pared-back palette of slate, lime and timber. Steps from the private courtyard gardens drop directly onto the water, and adjoining walking paths wind through Ethy Wood, which borders one side. Fowey can be easily reached in 20 minutes, with Falmouth, Padstow, Penryn and Port Isaac around an hour’s drive to the north and south.
