Daphne du Maurier's Cornish house up for sale | Books | The Guardian

The house boasts four bedrooms, lovely views across a Cornish cove and a garden with a tennis court. And if that is not tempting enough it has a rich literary history thrown in for free.

Daphne du Maurier, the author of Rebecca and Frenchman's Creek, one imagines, once sat at an upstairs window of Readymoney cottage in Fowey and sought inspiration as she gazed across the water. She rented the house in the early 1940s and it remains one of the sites of pilgrimage for the many fans who arrive in Cornwall from across the world looking for traces of the writer.
