A real gem - viewing essential.

General Comments - There are very few properties within a five mile radius of Truro city centre with mature grounds, privacy and surrounded by glorious countryside. Lanner Mill has this and much more. Located in a quiet and picturesque valley setting, the property is literally a ten minutes drive from Truro city centre with its fine selections of shops, restaurants and excellent schools. Lanner Mill has been owned by our clients for twenty one years during which time it has been extremely well cared for and improved. The whole property is in good condition although the bathrooms are now dated and prospective purchasers are likely to upgrade these.
Originally a working mill with separate millers cottage, it was successfully amalgamated many years ago creating this unique and spacious family home. Lanner Mill has an abundance of charm and character with very high ceilings and large, well proportioned rooms. The accommodation is over two floors and includes a superb modern bespoke kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory, dining room, sitting room, spacious entrance hall and cloakroom. On the first floor are six bedrooms and bathroom, the master is particularly large with en-suite bathroom. All of the rooms enjoy pleasant views over the mature gardens. All of the windows and doors are double glazed and there is an air source heat pump for heating backed up by two LPG boilers. The gardens and grounds extend to approximately four acres and are a delight, being well stocked with many interesting shrubs, plants and trees, there are also areas of undisturbed mature woodland. A feature of the property is the fabulous lake with resident ducks and the River Allen which meanders through the garden, it is a natural haven for wildlife. There is a very useful range of outbuildings including garage/studio, workshop, study and stables. A driveway provides lots of parking and ample space for trailers, caravans etc. An internal viewing is essential.

Location - Lanner Mill lies within St Allen parish and is only three miles from Truro city centre. It is a very quiet, picturesque hamlet accessed by pretty country lanes and a lovely area in which to walk and enjoy the countryside. Idless Woods are a short walk from the property whereby you can enjoy circa 200 acres of Forest England managed woodlands. You are also able to cycle from here in to Truro using only minor roads. The city of Truro is the main commercial and administrative centre of the county and here there is an excellent range of shopping facilities with many of the national multiples including a flagship Marks and Spencer store, historic cathedral and several excellent private and state schools. The Hall for Cornwall offers a varied programme of entertainment, there is a four screen cinema in Truro and eighteen hole golf courses are available at Truro, Falmouth and St. Austell. The nearby creeks of St. Clement and Malpas offer numerous delightful walks and sailing opportunities are available at Mylor and Falmouth.
