Tuckers Luck Description

This traditional 400 year old fisherman’s cottage with views over the Fowey estuary is in the perfect spot, having the Old Customs House and the former Old Post Office adjacent to the property.

The cottage entrance is at the top of some granite steps and the property is accessed via three steps down to a small landing. Through a door and down two further steps takes you into a delightful and comfortably furnished kitchen, dining area and lounge with fine views across the Fowey estuary. The cottage has been updated with all the modern necessities while keeping reminders of its antiquity. For example, the wall behind the hearth is exposed to show the ancient stone construction.

A stairway from the landing leads to the upper floor, where there are two bedrooms, each having an exposed stone wall. One small cosy bedroom is perfect for young children with a bunk bed. The main bedroom has a king size bed and wonderful views of the estuary. The separate family bathroom on this floor has a bath with electric shower overhead, WC and a basin. An additional one bedroom cosy studio annex, situated on the lower ground floor of Tucker’s Luck, is accessed via a separate stable door. The annex contains twin beds, a separate bathroom with handheld shower attachment over the bath, WC and hand basin, and an enclosed laundry area with Belfast sink.
