Description
An elegant country residence set within approximately 9.5 acres of gardens and grounds, enjoying a peaceful position on the edge of Ponsanooth and conveniently located between Truro and Falmouth.
The property occupies a particularly attractive setting, surrounded by mature gardens and parkland-like grounds, while remaining well placed for access to both the south coast and the beaches of the north Cornish coast, including St Agnes and Godrevy. The site itself has a notable history, with habitation recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086.
The house is positioned to enjoy views across the surrounding grounds and provides generous and well-balanced accommodation. A broad entrance hallway creates an immediate sense of space and leads through to the principal reception rooms. The sitting room and dual-aspect dining room are arranged on either side, both offering comfortable and characterful living spaces, with an open fire and wood-burning stove respectively.
Beyond lies the kitchen, arranged around a central island, together with a separate breakfast room featuring a vaulted ceiling. Above, a large mezzanine provides an excellent study area, while beneath there is an office space and shower room, adding useful flexibility to the layout.
The staircase rises from the hallway to a wide landing leading to the bedroom accommodation. The principal suite enjoys attractive views across the grounds, while three further bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom.
Overall, this is a highly appealing country home, combining space, character and a beautiful setting in a convenient central Cornwall location.
Location - The property is conveniently located on the edge of the village of Ponsanooth, which offers a range of local amenities including a shop, pub, and school. Just a short drive away is Restronguet Creek at Devoran, a popular spot for all manner of water sports enthusiasts, including sailing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. The picture-perfect Pandora Inn at Mylor is a highly favoured destination on a fine summer's evening. Mylor Harbour provides excellent boating facilities and access to the renowned sailing waters of the Carrick Roads, enabling trips across the stunning Falmouth Bay to St Mawes, or onward to the Helford River.
Falmouth is just four miles away and offers an excellent selection of independent shops, restaurants, and bars, as well as beautiful sandy beaches and further boating opportunities. Truro, the county’s capital, offers leading educational options, with both private and state schools available.
