THE SHIRE HOUSE is grade II listed and dates from 1780. Situated in the heart of Lostwithiel and with the river Fowey just 30 steps away. This is a Georgian town house with a walled garden full of sun. Expect lots of character, with contemporary design, combined with up to the minute amenities. There is no dedicated parking but other guests have always easily found parking on Quay Street, just by the house. Parking is free anywhere in Lostwithiel. Your pets are very welcome, and free of charge. You will have the entire house and garden exclusively to yourself. The Shire House is a 4 bedroom house, but this offer is just for ONE of the 4 bedrooms, though you will have the whole place to yourself. Should you need more than one bedroom, don't hesitate to contact me. The bedroom featured here is the king size bedroom on the first floor. On arrival, if you prefer one of the other bedrooms then the choice is yours. Chose the bedroom that you like best. This self-catering house has a spacious kitchen with dining table, lovely lounge, and two bathrooms. There is a supply of logs for the woodburner in the kitchen and bed linen and towels are provided. A spacious and modern kitchen has up to the minute appliances, Bosch hob, oven, microwave, Rangemaster fridge freezer with ice maker, dishwasher and so cosy with a wood burning stove. The family bathroom with bath and shower is on the first floor and the tiled wet room on the ground floor with a walk in shower and exhilarating body jets. A lovely lounge with double aspect view, flooded with sunlight and with views over the river Fowey. Make yourself comfortable with 2 sofas, 49" smart TV wired to the internet and bluetooth enabled stereo. There are laundry facilities, washing machine, tumble dryer, washing line, airer, ironing board and iron. The pretty walled garden has outside space for dining al fresco with a large table and four benches. Book now or risk unspeakable disappointment.
