Substantial and flexibly arranged former farmhouse set in a commanding position overlooking Mounts Bay. Rare renovation opportunity. 3 Reception rooms, study, 5 bedrooms. Large gardens, parking and workshop. EPC Band E.
Situation - Rockmount is well located near the surgery, primary school, football club and community hall. The town is perhaps best known for the majestic world famous St Michael's Mount. The causeway once walked by pilgrims leads to the island at low tide where the tower and battlements of the castle rise to a height of almost 230 feet above sea level. Whilst the Mount is still occupied by the St Aubyn family, the castle and gardens are open daily to the public via the causeway at low tide and by boat at high tide.
The Property - Rockmount, available on the open market for the first time in over 50 years, presents character accommodation arranged over two storeys that is now primed for renovation. This opportunity to create a family home or large holiday let within this sought after village is rare and an early viewing is recommended. The property benefits from private parking to the front and rear, low maintenance rear courtyard, large gardens to side and front leading down to Fore Street with a useful two storey workshop with carport attached.
Arranged over two floors the front door accesses directly into the large Family room where there is an exposed beam ceiling and bay window to the front with stunning sea views out to Mounts Bay and St. Michael's Mount itself. The kitchen to the rear has two windows overlooking the side garden/vegetable patch with a rear utility room formerly the farm's dairy. Doors from the kitchen lead to the front/side garden, dining room, utility and rear courtyard.
From the main sitting room you can access the central staircase, second sitting room with picture bay window overlooking the front garden, Mounts Bay and the headland toward Perranuthnoe, rear entrance hall and W.C. Stairs lead from the central hallway to first floor landing. There are four bedrooms in the main house, one in the ancillary accommodation all looking to the front with sea views and one to the rear. The family bathroom has a window to the rear and side.
To the east side of the property there is informal one bedroom ancillary accommodation with private entrance, comprising a first floor bedroom with sea views & bathroom and ground floor kitchen and living space.
Outside - Set in around 0.2 of an acre, Rockmount offer large gardens, parking and outbuildings all with potential for rejuvenation. The front garden was once ornamental and leads down to Fore Street with its own private access and pond. The front of the farmhouse is a paved private sun terrace wrapping around to the side garden. Parking for three to four cars is currently in place, but this can be increased if required.
The Workshop/Store could make additional accommodation and offers potential for redevelopment (subject to consent)
