The Location

Situated at the head of the Carrick Roads, the highly desirable village of Feock is centred around its charming church and enjoys an enviable position on Cornwall’s south coast. Ocean Key is an individual modern home that enjoys a traffic-free situation just a short walk from the church and Loe Beach with its watersports centre, café, slipway and moorings. From here, direct access is provided to the tree-lined creeks and rivers of the Fal Estuary — widely regarded as offering some of the finest day-sailing waters in the UK.  

The area is rich with scenic walks, including the woodland trails around nearby Trelissick, which follow the banks of the River Fal. Alongside dinghy launching, kayaking and sailing from Loe Beach, numerous sailing clubs can be found along the Carrick Roads, most notably at Mylor Harbour, which has established itself as Cornwall’s premier boating hub. For those seeking land-based pursuits, golf is available at Truro and Falmouth, while highly regarded primary schools are close by in Devoran and Kea.  

Less than five miles away, Truro serves as the county’s commercial and educational centre, offering excellent shopping, a choice of private and state schools, and a mainline rail connection to London Paddington. Around nine miles to the south, the vibrant university town of Falmouth provides a wide selection of restaurants, quayside bars, galleries and sub-tropical gardens, together with safe sandy beaches and access to the South West Coast Path, leading onwards to Swanpool, Maenporth and the timeless Helford River.  

The Roseland Peninsula is also within easy reach via the iconic King Harry Ferry, where coastal villages such as St Mawes, Portscatho, Veryan, Carne and Pendower offer outstanding opportunities for dining, sailing, walking and beachside relaxation.
