Feock, Truro, TR3

Fernwood enjoys one of the most idyllic settings in Feock, perched just above the wooded banks of Pill Creek with farmland views to the rear and the Carrick Roads estuary unfolding ahead. From here, you’re only a short stroll through the fields to Loe Beach or down the path to the water’s edge, a perfect mix of countryside calm and waterside living. The house itself is designed to take full advantage of the setting. The approach is via a bridge to the glazed entrance hall, which leads up into a bright inner hall. At the front, the 27-foot sitting room sets the tone, teak-boarded floors, a wood-burning stove, and wide glazed doors opening onto both the garden terrace and a decked balcony with glass balustrade, where the views spill across the estuary. The dining room and adjoining sun room follow suit, with more doors to the balcony and direct access to a terrace with hot tub and changing room, ideal for evenings with family or friends. At the rear, the kitchen and utility connect to a striking breakfast room/conservatory. With exposed roof timbers, full-height glazing, and French doors to the terrace, it’s a wonderful everyday space with far-reaching rural views. The ground floor also includes a guest bedroom and shower room. Upstairs, the principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes, an en suite, and sliding glazed doors onto the balcony, framing views down Pill Creek towards the Carrick Roads. Two further bedrooms, one also with balcony access, share this level. The gardens at Fernwood are beautifully kept and full of variety: paved terraces, a level lawn with summer house and verandah, ornamental planting, orchard, fish pond, and shaded corners to sit and enjoy the outlook. A tandem double garage, single garage, and double wooden gates provide good parking and storage. The Location Feock is one of Cornwall’s most sought-after waterside villages, tucked between Truro and Falmouth on the western banks of Pill Creek. Life here has a quiet, community feel, with countryside walks from the doorstep, a sailing school and café at nearby Loe Beach, and access to the creeks and rivers that make the Fal Estuary one of the finest sailing waters in the UK. Mylor Yacht Harbour lies to the south, with its marina, cafés and club house, while Falmouth offers sandy beaches, quayside bars, galleries, and a vibrant food scene. National Trust Trelissick is just up the road for woodland walks and gardens, and the King Harry Ferry provides quick access to the Roseland Peninsula and the waterside village of St Mawes. For practicalities, Truro is only a short drive away with its cathedral, schools, theatre, shops and hospital, as well as mainline rail connections to London. Cornwall Airport Newquay offers regular flights to UK and international destinations. Fernwood is very much a lifestyle home: waterside views, peaceful gardens, and direct access to everything that makes this part of Cornwall so special.
