PROPERTY
This inviting home sits within glorious gardens on a plot of 0.6 acres. With Perrancoombe Stream running through the garden, summer days can be spent sitting on a deck with the sound of babbling water. Alternately an easy level walk of around a mile will take you and your family to one of the most beautiful beaches in Cornwall.
Offering generous rooms and a flexible layout with the potential to create an annexe for a dependent relative or older children this is a fine family home.
Approaching the property, a drive leads down from the road to a large parking area and onwards to a detached double garage. The original adjoining double garage was converted in the seventies to create an additional reception room / gym. This space could quite easily be adapted to create an independent living area by enlarging the cloakroom to create a full bath or shower room and potentially convert the neighbouring utility room into a kitchenette.
Entering this split level home, half a flight of stairs lead down to a large sitting room which overlooks the grounds. Sliding doors open out to a raised patio which has lovely views both of the garden and the wooded valley on the far side of the property's "paddock" garden. Inside, a recently installed wood burner is a fine focal point. A decorative wall partly divides the room to create a dining area at one end. From here steps lead up to the kitchen. A range of base and wall mounted cabinets wrap to three sides and include space for a stove and dishwasher (included). The views from the kitchen window are captivating. The kitchen has sufficient space for a breakfast table and chairs. To the rear of the kitchen is the aforementioned utility room which has space for a fridge/freezer, washer and tumble dryer. A door leads out to a side patio which the owners regularly use for al-fresco dining.
Next to the kitchen is an anteroom which could be used as a breakfasting area, or as a study.
To the opposite side of the entrance hall is a double bedroom which is ideal for guests, having the benefit of a nearby shower room.
Upstairs there are two large double bedrooms, one with a walk in wardrobe, the other with built-in wardrobes and both with views to the rear. There is a large family bathroom on this floor as well.
The front gardens are terraced and well planted with many mature specimen plants offering year-round colour as well as privacy. Hedges and fencing run down both sides along with paths providing access on either side of the home. A large rear lawn gently slopes down to the stream. There is a patio area which overlooks the water and a recently re-built bridge crosses over to the private "paddock garden" opposite. This ground could either be used as an extension to the lawned garden or could have a large vegetable garden to live "The Good Life" The current owners have cut paths through the grass to create a delightful children’s playground. The rear garden is West facing ensuring sun all afternoon and evening. At the end of the paddock garden area the property is bordered by private woodland owned by a neighbouring farm.
For those looking for a property with a substantial garden, this quietly located home that is within easy reach of the town and it's magnificent beach should certainly be considered.
