Fore Street, Lostwithiel, Cornwall, PL22

The Dower House is a striking Grade II listed property situated in the heart of Lostwithiel, offering a unique blend of historic charm and modern functionality. Spanning three floors, the property features a spacious lock-up shop with original fireplaces, wood panelling, and high windows fronting Fore Street, providing a versatile commercial space.

A separate entrance hall with original tessellated tiled flooring leads to the magnificent turned central staircase, giving access to the residential accommodation. The first floor comprises a generous living room with an original fireplace, opening into a modern shaker-style kitchen/breakfast room, complete with wooden work surfaces, a matching island, and space for a large dining table. Two well-proportioned bedrooms, both with feature fireplaces and views over Fore Street, complete this level.

The second floor offers two further bedrooms, both enjoying period details such as fireplaces and cornicing. A secondary landing provides access to a large storage cupboard, a stylish bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath, an enclosed shower, and a separate WC featuring exposed beams and a bespoke vanity unit.

Outside, a gated alleyway leads to a shared enclosed garden, with The Dower House benefiting from its own private rear yard. To the rear, the property includes two rooms with separate access, currently used as a pottery and a shop/gallery. The pottery is leased to a tenant with approximately 3 years remaining on a 10-year lease, generating an annual rent of £1,000. Additionally, the freeholder retains the right to receive a nominal ground rent from the long leasehold sale of 22A Fore Street.

This exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home with commercial potential in a prime Lostwithiel location. EPC Exempt.
