Saddles and sails
Tenure: Freehold
Situation: Roscownans occupies a prime position above the idyllic Cowlands creek which lies just to the south of Truro, Cornwall. Roscownans itself sits between the small village of Penelewey and the creekside hamlet of Cowlands with a wonderful vista taking in the head of the creek and the Tregothnan Estate beyond. The idyllic Cowlands Creek is a tributary of the River Fal and therefore provides access to some of the finest yachting and boating in the United Kingdom with Falmouth Harbour the third largest natural harbour in the world. Much of the surrounding countryside is owned by the National Trust Trelissick Estate and is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with numerous creek-side coastal walks. There are numerous local golf courses within easy reach including The Killiow Estate and Golf Club and Truro Golf Club. The Cathedral City of Truro is the administrative centre of Cornwall and offers good private schooling and mainline rail links to London Paddington. It has a highly regarded shopping centre which satisfies everyday requirements, hosting a wide range of supermarkets and shops, restaurants, cinema, galleries, museums and theatre together with sought-after local schools. Further down the coast is the harbour town of Falmouth with its yacht marinas and moorings, landmark National Maritime Museum and Royal Cornwall Yacht Club. Communications to Cornwall have vastly improved over recent years with the A30 dual carriageway just north of Truro giving fast access to the M5 motorway at Exeter. Newquay Airport also provides regular shuttle flights to London Gatwick, Stansted and many other European destinations, as does Exeter, home to the airline Flybe.

Roscownans is a beautifully renovated family house, laid out in such a way that it offers large family entertainment rooms and allows the garden to become incorporated as part of the house during the summer months. The kitchen itself opens out to the rear kitchen garden which includes ideal areas of sun bathing as well as alfresco entertaining.
The main reception and sitting rooms sit above the bedrooms and bathrooms. Highlights include the wonderful open plan kitchen / dining room as well as the huge drawing room. The bespoke oak and granite kitchen and much of the furniture throughout the house was designed by well renowned local craftsman Richard Winfrey.
Situated in the kitchen garden there is also a Hot Tub which can also be accessed from the bedrooms below. Both the kitchen and main drawing room offer wonderful vistas over the surrounding countryside and down onto the nearby creek. A large, light and timber floored drawing room makes for an impressive entertaining area with a solid fuel woodburner and also featuring an integrated state of the art music and cinema system. Coming off the drawing room are two guest bedrooms with full en-suites.
The ground floor can be reached from the drawing room's primary staircase and accommodates a master bedroom suite together with two children's bedrooms and bathrooms. All the bedrooms feature marble or granite ensuite bathrooms with Richard Winfrey designed bespoke furniture. Leading from the dressing room in the spacious master bedroom suite, is a laundry room, which can also be accessed from the secondary spiral staircase in the front hallway. On the bottom floor there is a long, temperature controlled room which acts as an ideal cellar.
GARAGE/STABLE BLOCK
To the rear of the property is a substantial outbuilding which houses a double garage and stabling with a further reception / entertaining room above, gym, bathroom and a spacious office with creek views. The garage features two sets of electric double doors as well as a complete remote alarm system. The large reception room features a bespoke oak bar in the corner. Adjacent to the games room is an office that accommodates a powerful computer server, ISDN lines and numerous phone lines. Stabling on the ground floor next to the garage provides three loose boxes, together with tack room.
GARDENS & GROUNDS
The house is approached down a quiet lane off the B3289 through an impressive set of pillared oak electric gates. The driveway leads to the main entrance at the front of the house and on towards the garage, office and entertainment complex. To the front of the house is a mature lawn with herbaceous borders as well as an impressive walled kitchen garden to the rear. Further track and driveway leads to an external, floodlit mnage and external games area which includes a wooden climbing frame, football/tennis area, summer house and skirts two attractive lakes, surrounded by parkland and woodland with numerous woodland walks.
