General Comments - Wheal Fortune Farm is a delightful small farm located in a quiet rural setting on the outskirts of the hamlet of Twelveheads. It comprises a large detached house, fabulous mature gardens and paddock. In addition lots of outbuildings and the benefit of no near neighbours. In total the land extends to approximately 2.25 acres. There is a further 4.63 acres available by separate negotiation. The house is beautifully presented and has been transformed over the last twenty two years during our clients ownership. It is so much larger and more impressive then immediately apparent from outside, the photographs do not do the property justice. It has been extended substantially and provides spacious family accommodation that is extremely versatile. The accommodation includes; large kitchen/dining room with quality fitted kitchen, granite worktops and high ceilings, three reception rooms and five bedrooms (alternatively four bedrooms if the ground floor rear bedroom is used as another reception). The master bedroom is particularly large and a feature is the superb balcony with fabulous views over the rear garden and fields beyond. The house is versatile and could be split to provide separate annexe accommodation for those purchasers with a dependent relative. Most of the rooms have a pleasant view over the surrounding countryside and the house is notably light. There are an extensive range of outbuildings including a garage/workshop with inspection pit (easily converted to an annexe/holiday let subject to gaining the necessary consent). Traditional stables and a new open fronted shed has recently been built. The gardens are a sheer delight, being well stocked with many mature shrubs and plants, lots of trees, polytunnel and vegetable patch.

The nearest village with excellent facilities is Carnon Downs (approximately three miles) with general store and post office, doctors surgery/pharmacy, dental practice, garden centre, village hall and regular bus connections to Truro and Falmouth. The property is also well placed for access to the creek and sailing facilities on the Fal Estuary. The city of Truro is approximately seven miles to the east and here there is a fine shopping centre with many national multiples as well rail connections to London (Paddington) as well as various social and leisure facilities.
