Location - Raven Cottage is situated in an elevated south facing position only a short walk from Downderry and Seaton Beaches.

The property lies in an established residential area within the village comprising a mix of individual detached houses. This is a prized location on a stretch of coastline often referred to as the Cornish Riviera. The constant passage of commercial, naval and pleasure craft across the bay, provides an extraordinary, distracting and inspirational outlook.

Downderry and Seaton have a primary school (rated "good" by Ofsted), restaurant, beachside public house, church, beach café, and doctors' surgery. The local community are currently involved in the process of creating a community shop. There is also a very popular farm shop at Widegates catering for most day to day needs. Similar facilities are available at St Germans, which also has a main line railway station providing a useful commuter link to Plymouth (Plymouth to London Paddington 3 hours). Seaton also has a Countryside Park with riverside and woodland walks.

Downderry was in recent years noted by the Sunday Times in a list of the top ten "Best Places to Live by the sea". Golf is available at Portwrinkle, St Mellion International Golf Resort, or Looe Bindown. The South West Coast Path is accessed nearby with parts of the neighbouring coastline in the ownership of the National Trust. The beach has a slipway and offers the opportunity to keep and launch boats (by permit). Seaton beach benefits from a RNLI Lifeguard station during the summer.

The sailing waters of the area are favoured by yachtsmen and deep water moorings are available on the Rivers Lynher and Tamar at St Germans, Saltash and Fowey/Polruan. Saltash has a Waitrose store on its northern outskirts and the city of Plymouth offers an abundance of facilities centred around the historic and fascinating waterfront areas of the Barbican and Hoe. The Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Beauty, the famous surfing beaches of North Cornwall, the Rame Peninsula, Mount Edgecumbe Country Park, historic country houses and many other places of interest lie within an easy drive.

Description - Raven Cottage comprises a detached south facing seaside residence, conveniently positioned for the beaches and commanding a truly awe inspiring outlook spanning from the iconic landmarks of Rame Head in the east, Eddystone Lighthouse on the south horizon, Looe Island and Dodman Point in the west. The property is currently used as a private second home and also as a successful holiday let and could be available furnished and equipped excluding any personal items and subject to negotiation.
