4 Bedroom House - Detached
Situated in a lovely rural location close to Gwennap Pit, this detached character property sits in beautiful grounds with the bonus of a double garage and parking for numerous vehicles. The property offers very adaptable family living accommodation with four bedrooms, a sitting room, a lounge with open access to a light and airy dining room, a well fitted kitchen, a rear sun room, an office, a first floor bathroom and an additional shower room. It is double glazed and this is complemented by oil heating and multi fuel stoves.
We are delighted to bring to market this large and impressive family home, formerly the site of two cottages dating back to the 1860’s and with some characteristic features remaining. Most welcoming all round, we understand from the current vendor that the property has had three subsequent extensions and now offers exceptional versatility and scope for multi-generational living. Offering four to five bedrooms, this home enjoys a large, elevated and private rural plot set in delightful grounds yet still close to the popular area of Vogue which is on the outskirts of St Day with all of its local amenities. A very useful entrance porch, with the added benefit of a downstairs WC leads into a large, welcoming hallway which could certainly be re-purposed as a third sitting room if so required. A middle sitting room with a multi fuel burner sits at the heart of the house, a transitional space that connects the entrance area with the spacious G-format double aspect kitchen that is both expansive and open with one of its defining features being the complete absence of eye-level storage and with no shelving interrupting the sight lines. A Rangemaster electric cooker is also included and there is enough space to add in dining facilities should the new owner wish to. The entrance hallway also links in the lounge and dining room where there is no abrupt boundary between the two; a flowing transition ensures the space feels connected. Skylights open up the ceiling in the dining area, allowing natural light to flood in, an ideal space for family gatherings and socialising, where living and dining will blend effortlessly. It should also be noted that the spacious lounge has a multi fuel burner set within a recessed marble fireplace. Move away from the dining area and you will arrive in a rear sun room which offers a practical link between indoors and outdoors, giving access to the driveway, garages and garden beyond. At the front of the property, steps lead down to a transitional room that links to what is currently used as a study/office that could be repurposed into a fifth bedroom. A staircase with a quarter landing and right turn leads to the first floor landing, where you will find four bedrooms. The main bedroom is double aspect and enjoys direct access to the rear garden via a decking area and also has the convenience of being adjacent to the shower room. There are three further bedrooms, two doubles and a single. All bedrooms are complemented by a large family bathroom with a nice inset bath feature. Externally, electric gates open to a block paved driveway with parking for multiple vehicles. There is a double garage with electric roller doors and adjacent workshop, blending in well to the raised landscaped garden above and beyond. The elevated rear and side gardens have been very well looked after by the current vendor and offer those so inclined wonderful opportunities to maintain, develop and add their own stamp. There are planting areas and split level features throughout whilst there is a separate ‘front’ garden level to the property main entrance, an ideal area for those with children. In terms of location, the property is within approximately a half mile of St. Day village centre which is accessible on foot in less than fifteen minutes. The village offers two general stores, a post office, and a butchers. In addition, there are two highly rated public houses in the area, one within a five minute walk of the property, the other back in St. Day village centre. Further afield, Portreath Beach can be reached in less than twenty minutes by car and other notable attractions such as Tehidy Country Park and Tehidy Golf Club are within a similar distance. Falmouth, Truro and Helston are all relatively equidistant by car whilst there are also bus services to Redruth and Truro.
