Introduction

Offering the best of both worlds, with privacy and tranquillity coupled with being a convenient walk to the wide range of amenities, beaches and sailing waters, this comfortable house was architect designed by Christopher Bent and built by a local reputable builder, Tony Boulter, in 2000 for our clients. The small original bungalow and market garden was purchased through H Tiddy Estate Agents in 1994, and was knocked down and rebuilt to the property as seen today.

Description

Suited towards the family or retiring buyer either as a permanent or holiday home, potential exists to create ancillary annexe accommodation for a dependent relative, teenager or nanny. A double garage connects to the property, equally there is a further detached garage offering ideal space for boat storage and boating regalia.

Our clients love trees but, subject to any consents, and careful pruning, stunning countryside and water views can be explored over the village, the National Trust Headland of St Anthony, and across St Mawes outer harbour to Falmouth Bay with the Lizard Peninsula beyond. Our clients currently enjoy these views during winter months, particularly from the first floor sitting room and principal bedroom suite.

The 2.6 acres of grounds are a particular feature. They offer a combination of formal lawn to partial woodland that has been designed for ease of maintenance as well as privacy. Our clients inform us that there is a hive of wildlife including visits from the occasional deer!

Summary

The property is warmed by an oil-fired central heating system and most windows and doors are by Everest double glazing. Set at a realistic guide price, we strongly recommend an internal inspection to fully appreciate this comfortable home which is also suited towards those looking for further potential.
