St Erth, Hayle TR27

In a most idyllic and peaceful spot, between St Hilary and St Erth, is this formidable five-bedroom dormer bungalow sitting in over five acres of grounds that boast beautiful, rural views across rolling fields and in one direction towards Godolphin Hill.

Approached via a long, wooded lane and a private driveway, the property provides ample parking on a large, gravelled parking area backed by a large double garage and offers owners a very high degree of privacy.

Crossing tiered, lawned gardens, there is an enclosed patio garden to the front of the property that brings you into the spacious entrance hallway.

Off the entrance hallway in one direction is the large sitting room with the majority of one wall being glazed, including large French doors out to the enclosed patio garden. Sliding doors and a couple of steps down lead you into the hub of this home: a dining area that sits centrally between a large kitchen and a further garden room/snug that has floor-to-ceiling glazing to two elevations.

The kitchen stretches along the rear of the property with a large, picture window that looks out across the gardens belonging to the property, and has a separate utility/laundry room with a handy boiler room at one end that then leads out to a further side patio garden, which leads on to the fields.

On the other side of the property, on the ground floor, is a large master bedroom with an en suite shower room and an entire wall of built-in wardrobes with views out to the front garden. There is a further possible bedroom on this floor, or if not needed, it would be a fantastic additional reception room as it enjoys blissful rural views towards Godolphin Hill in the distance. Finishing this floor’s accommodation is a modern, stylish family bathroom with a wonderful double-ended bath and built-in storage.

On the first floor, the feeling of light and space continues, thanks partly to the spacious landing with a Velux rooflight and space for seating, bookcases, etc. Off this informal reception space are two very large bedrooms with sloping ceilings and large Velux rooflights that allow you to look out over rolling fields in every direction. The bedrooms offer built-in eaves storage cupboards, and there is a third bedroom on this floor that would make a desirable double or a spacious home office! There is also a WC on this floor for added convenience.

GROUNDS & GARDENS

Outside, this property really comes into its own, with a variety of very attractive expansive gardens, a gently undulating meadow with recently planted trees, a separate field, and even the remains of the old miller's house on the edge of the meadow. The owners have created a safe, enclosed area of garden close to the property, which is fenced with gates on either side for pets, and offers seating, a pergola and some of the best countryside views on offer.

At the top of the meadow is a lawned area with a large timber-built workshop with mains power, beyond which an opening in the Cornish hedge then leads into the front garden area for the dwelling. The front garden is lawned with various trees and shrubs, and as well as a paved patio garden to the side of the property, there is a five-bar gate at the top of this garden giving alternative access out to the lane.

This property is an exceptional opportunity to own land in a rural and very private idyll, just 10 minutes drive from Marazion, and approximately 15 minutes drive from both Praa Sands or Hayle on the North coast.

LOCATION

In a very peaceful and pretty location partway between St Hilary and St Erth, this property is almost equal distance from the North and South coasts of Cornwall (roughly 15 minutes drive each way).

The historic and tranquil village of St Erth is centred around the village church which is believed to date back to the 15th century. The village itself, with its active community, offers an excellent traditional public house along with a Post Office/village store, Methodist hall and primary schooling. Good commuter links are provided by the nearby train station which links into St Ives and Penzance as well as the A30. The nearby town of Hayle is a short distance away, as are the golden sandy beaches at Gwithian and Godrevy.
