Situation

The property enjoys a private rural position yet only just over a mile from the highly popular village of Chacewater. The village lies between the Cathedral City of Truro and the historic mining town of Redruth. The A30 is within easy access for travel to beaches at Perranporth, St Agnes and Porthtowan and the north and south of the county. There is a mainline rail connection at Truro station with Newquay Airport further along the north coast providing a number of scheduled flights to both national and international destinations.

Description

Available on the open market for the first time in over 58 years, this characterful farmhouse is understood to be of cob and stone construction, complemented by a more modern block and brick extension.
The accommodation is centred around a welcoming entrance dining hall, which opens into an impressive sitting room with space for a flueless bio-ethanol burning stove, enjoying a lovely outlook over the gardens with doors providing direct access outside.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of cupboards and an island unit, together with a Heritage range cooker and space for appliances. A door leads through to a useful utility room and separate WC.
The living room provides a cosy reception space, overlooking the gardens and featuring a wood-burning stove. A further door leads to a useful study, which in turn provides access to the ancillary accommodation.

On the first floor are 3 double bedrooms and a family bathroom fitted with a bath, separate shower, WC and wash hand basin.

The adjoining ancillary accommodation benefits from both independent external access and internal access from the main house. The annexe comprises an entrance hall, sitting room with a wood-burning stove, opening through to a dining/garden room, together with a kitchen fitted with a range of units. There is also a double bedroom and a shower room.

The current owners have established a successful café business, having converted one of the former outbuildings to create the café together with a useful storeroom. The building offers excellent potential to further expand the business or, alternatively, to create a games room, home office or additional ancillary space, subject to any necessary consents.

The award winning café, which open all year round, comprises a main seating area with a service counter and wood-burning stove, an equipped kitchen, WC facilities and adjoining garden space. Income information is available upon request.

The property is approached via a private driveway, leading to a substantial parking area, currently serving the café, before continuing to further parking for the house and annexe.

The extensive gardens are a particular feature of the property and are exceptionally impressive, wrapping around the house and offering a diverse array of mature trees, shrubs and flowering plants.

The grounds include an ornamental pond with a jetty (and boat available), polytunnel, vegetable garden with fruit cage, two sheds, greenhouse, potting shed, galvanised storage shed and an open-fronted carport. In all, the property extends to approximately 2.65 acres.
