Detached house for sale in Comfort Road, Mylor Bridge TR11

The property

This is an extraordinary chance to secure a substantial family home with valuable, appealing features set in a large garden within this most sought-after of creekside villages. Lenith was constructed in 1975 by a respected local builder and has remained in the same family occupation since. It has been a much loved home from where a family was raised and the house and its garden have evolved beautifully over these nearly 50 years. Lenith’s impressive list of attributes are hard to match and find, with its spacious four bedroom accommodation, with main en suite. There are three bath/shower rooms in all as well as generous ‘living’ space comprising separate sitting and dining rooms, a fantastic conservatory and a downstairs study/bedroom five. Lovely that all main rooms face South, overlooking the garden and valley towards the Enys Estate. The garden lies predominantly to this Southern side, with easy flow from the house to a huge terrace, down to the delightfully established, richly stocked main and orchard gardens. Wide posts and gates lead from Comfort Road to a tarmac driveway and the double garage, setting Lenith nicely back from the road.

The location

Lenith occupies a blissful garden on the Southern side of Comfort Road, set in a large plot overlooking the valley, to countryside and woods where deer are often seen in the distance. The house is a relatively level 5-minute walk to the village centre, and just a few minutes’ more to reach Mylor Quay and creek. Mylor has an an active, friendly community and excellent facilities that include the Lemon Arms Pub, a well stocked village store, a highly regarded primary school, pre-school and playgroups. There are Doctor and Dentist surgeries, a Post Office and Newsagent, Hairdressers, award winning Butcher's shop plus a Fishmonger. The Village Hall has an extensive programme that includes exhibitions, a history group, keep-fit classes and monthly cinema showings. There are also several local clubs, tennis courts, a bowling green, playing fields plus a regular bus service running to Falmouth and Truro. Small wonder that the Sunday Times has named Mylor Bridge as 'One of the Best Places to Live' and that it is one of the most desirable villages around.The village is located approximately 4 miles from the harbour town of Falmouth and 8 miles from the Cathedral City of Truro both of which have good schools, excellent shops, business and recreational facilities. Mylor Creek is a tributary of the River Fal, leading into the Carrick Roads with access to some of the best day sailing waters in the country. There are a number of yacht clubs nearby including those at Restronguet, Mylor, Flushing and several in Falmouth. Mylor Harbour, just a short distance away, has remarkable facilities including a Marina with pontoon and swinging moorings, chandlers, marine services plus restaurants and a general store/café.
