About the host

Hosted by Sinead Hanks

Host profile image
Unlike most second home owners in Fowey, we love it so much we live here too and have excellent local knowledge. Our useful links with local businesses mean that if we can't help, will know someone who can.

We (Nick and Sinead) moved to Fowey in 2011. Sinead had spent an idyllic childhood here - after-school evenings on the beach, sand in her hair and dodgy tales of Gossips ‘nightclub’. Nick (though it was hardly his fault) grew up in Hampshire.

Both moved to London to find their fortunes, Sinead as a press officer, working with charities and social entrepreneurs, Nick as a journalist (Daily Mail, Guardian, Times Magazine, Radio Times) and author (Dalek I Loved You). After meeting over a love of karaoke and pub quizzes, they waved goodbye to the city for Fowey with their baby daughter, Regan (named after John Thaw’s character in The Sweeney), so she too could have afternoons on a beach. Fortunately for them, Gossips had shut down.

Together they set up the popular Love Fowey website which promotes the town, and Nick also runs the Any Old Lights vintage marine lighting shop next to the church.

We are closely involved with local activities including the Community Bus, Squires Field Community Centre, Regatta Week and Fowey Christmas Market




Why they chose this property

After returning to Fowey in 2011, we stayed with Sinead's mum, also in Fowey, desperately looking for somewhere to live. No easy task, as we were looking for somewhere old yet full of character.

And as soon as we saw Albert Place, we knew we had found it. Neglected and in dire need of some love and care, yet we could immediately see how beautiful and cosy it could be. Many months and restoration from skilled local builders and specialists later, we moved in with our three year old daughter in 2012.

We include 'before and after' shots' in our Welcome Pack so you can see how far we have come!

By 2015, another wee one arrived and we had outgrown our little cottage - however we still live in Fowey and loved our time at 1 Albert Place, bang in the middle of town - the ‘Soho’ of Fowey!




What makes this property unique

You are so ridiculously close to all amenities - 10 seconds from Fowey's main shop and just minutes from all the pubs and restaurants. Yet tucked down an alley you can get away from it all!


You have use of the Fowey Hall Hotel swimming pool and hot tub and are just three miles from the world famous Eden Project

300 years of history means that the place has a traditional, cosy feel to it yet also includes underfloor heating and a whilrlpool bath.

It is a unique property in a very special part of Cornwall.
