Kits House at Mixtow Creek

Perfectly positioned on the banks of the River Fowey, Kits House is a charming waterside retreat surrounded by some of Cornwall's most picturesque fishing villages and scenic walking trails. Ideal for families or groups of friends, this spacious and characterful property offers the perfect base for exploring the coast and countryside, whether on foot or by boat, before returning to relax on the terrace overlooking the river.



Step inside to discover a welcoming and spacious entrance hall, with reception rooms set on either side. To the right, an impressive period sitting room invites you to unwind, complete with comfortable sofas, a TV, and a wood burner for cosy evenings in. French doors open directly onto the terrace, allowing natural light to flood the room and seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Across the hall, the beautifully presented kitchen/diner provides a sociable hub for the household. Also featuring French doors, this bright and airy space is perfect for relaxed family meals or planning the day's adventures over breakfast. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped, offering everything needed to prepare hearty dinners or packed lunches for days out exploring.



Upstairs, the first floor hosts four beautifully appointed bedrooms. A spacious king-size room enjoys lovely views across the water and benefits from an en-suite bathroom complete with a luxurious freestanding bath. A second king-size bedroom also boasts stunning river views and features its own en-suite shower room. Two delightful twin bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for children or additional guests and are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.



Outside, the private riverside terrace offers a peaceful setting to soak up the tranquil surroundings. With outdoor furniture provided, it's an idyllic spot for morning coffee, leisurely lunches, or evening drinks as boats drift past on the river. The terrace provides a wonderful vantage point from which to enjoy the sun and the ever-changing estuary views.



A private shared pontoon sits just in front of the house, inviting outdoor-led days spent fishing, crabbing, paddleboarding or kayaking, or even hiring your own boat for the week to cruise into Fowey and explore the beauty of the river at your own pace.



Kits House is ideally located for exploring this captivating corner of Cornwall. The coastal village of Polruan is just a short drive away, with a passenger ferry linking it to nearby Fowey. Further afield, enjoy day trips to Looe (11 miles) and Polperro (7 miles) to the east, or Mevagissey (22 miles) to the west. The charming town of Lostwithiel (9 miles) is well worth a visit for its boutique shops and antiques emporiums. Walkers will be in their element with direct access to a public footpath and the nearby South West Coast Path. Popular attractions including the Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Charlestown, and numerous National Trust properties are all within 22 miles, ensuring there is something for everyone to enjoy.
