From the entrance hall, stairs rise up to the first floor living accommodation. The ground floor has wooden floors throughout and comprises of three generous double bedrooms. Two bedrooms have built in wardrobes. Also on the ground floor is a shower room and a generous bathroom, both have basins with vanity units and heated towel rails. The bathroom also benefits from a separate shower cubicle and underfloor heating. A cupboard in the hall houses a new electric immersion heater with economy setting and provides extra storage space. The house is heated by Rointe electric radiators.

Stairs rise up to the first floor where Sunday Cottage comes into its own. Beautiful vaulted ceilings and large arched windows flood the living room with light and space creating the perfect place to take in the views of the Fowey estuary. The sitting room area is defined by a rise of two steps. The sitting room has a door accessing the rear garden.

The kitchen has a sink unit, an integral double oven, storage units and workspaces. A door opens into a sizeable conservatory which looks out to and has access to the garden. A separate utility area currently houses all white goods with extra workspace and sink. Off from the utility room is a cloakroom.

A pull down ladder takes you up to a mezzanine floor which enjoys views through the large Velux window taking in Polruan, the Fowey Estuary and Fowey itself.

Outside - The garden at Sunday Cottage is a hidden gem and a fabulous place to relax and unwind. From either the conservatory or sitting room, doors open on to a gravelled seating area which leads to a rear gate giving access to a path off from Chapel Lane. Steps lead up to a seating area on the right and then a path continues on to a larger paved area suitable for a table and chairs. The garden is full of plants and mature shrubs creating a very tranquil haven.
