This executive style detached four bedroom house is nestled in a valley surrounded by trees, hedging, wildlife and a small stream running on the perimeter of a plot approaching approximately half an acre, giving it an air of tranquility. There is a large garden, patio, parking and the driveway continues down to a further area with timber garage, workshop, shed and to a separate studio with a garage below.

The house itself has an entrance porch leading into a spacious hallway.  There is a lounge with a wood burner and that leads out onto an enclosed rear patio seating space, perfect for alfresco dining, a modern tasteful kitchen/dining room with separate utility and ground floor cloakroom. Many hours could be spent in the dining room looking out onto the beautiful rolling lawn, established flowers and shrubs and granite crazy paved seating space. A turned oak staircase with glass panel leads up to a galleried landing to the first floor where there are four bedrooms, principal bedroom ensuite and a family bathroom.  

To the front of the property is a long driveway leading to ample parking surrounded by metal railings.  Seating space completes the front.  There is a gate to each side to access the enclosed rear garden with a greenhouse and shed off to one side.  The rear garden is truly a delight with the established plants offering splashes of colour including a wild area for bees and insects.  A pond is surrounded with lush plants and foliage and there is also a chicken coop and a sheltered seating and dining space.  The detached studio currently consists of a large room, flooded with light from the large windows with wood burner and double doors off to its own patio space.  It has a garage below with double glazed door, electric, lighting and up and over door.  

Why not take a look at our virtual tour to appreciate all that this beautiful property and its surroundings has to offer.

Conveniently located for Falmouth, Truro and Redruth, Ponsanooth is the nearest village to Swallow Cottage which has a popular Primary School, village stores/Post Office, lovely countryside walks in Kennal Vale Woods and a Public House and Village Hall that host many events.   Secondary schools can be found in nearby Falmouth and Penryn, with the University at both Penryn and Falmouth both being within a couple of miles.  

The bustling harbour town of Falmouth is just over four miles distant with a variety of cafes, restaurants, banks, a multi-screen cinema and high street shopping.   Family entertainment can also be found at the National Maritime Museum and Pendennis Castle with golf available nearby at Falmouth Golf Club.  Three train stations provide a link from Falmouth to Truro and beyond where there is a main line to London Paddington.
