General Comments - The Old Farmhouse is a stunning property which is situated in one of the most sought after locations in south Cornwall. The property was formerly the dwelling house of a working farm and is believed to have been built circa 1880.
Extended since its original, modest form, it now offers the best of old and new with light and spacious accommodation which is beautifully presented throughout. During our clients ownership, the house has been modernised and upgraded to a very high standard including quality new bathrooms.
The views of Restronguet Creek and the countryside beyond are outstanding and ever changing and the glorious gardens enjoy a southerly facing aspect as well as the wonderful views from the terrace. The driveway provides parking for 4 cars or space for a small boat and there is a large garage/workshop. Potential buyers should also note that the property is sold with no chain.
The Accommodation - The accommodation is set over two storeys and briefly comprises; entrance porch, a fabulous kitchen/dining/family room with a vaulted ceiling and skylights which flood the room with natural light, sitting room, study, w.c. and utility room to the ground floor with four double bedrooms - the master with an en-suite and French doors leading out to the garden - and a family bathroom to the first floor.
Windows are double glazed sliding sash, there is underfloor central heating and the solar panels generate an income of approximately £1,100 - £1,200 per annum.
Gardens - The south facing gardens are truly delightful. They are well stocked and comprise several areas of level lawn bordered by deep beds, a range of sitting areas from which to enjoy the views and a small orchard sits on the uppermost terrace.
A driveway provides parking for three or four vehicles and a large garage/workshop provides further parking or ample storage. A beautifully presented property in an enviable position facing due south with views over Restronguet Creek and to the Carrick Roads.
Chycoose - The hamlets of Point and Penpol combine to form a residential community about five miles to the south of Truro. Chycoose lies on the very edge of Point. A short distance away from the property is a public footpath which provides a pleasant short walk to the creek where there is a public slipway as well as providing access to the old Tram Road for access to Devoran and Point. Restronguet Creek is very popular with boating enthusiasts and provides easy access to the sailing waters of the Fal Estuary (Carrick Roads).
In the first half of the 19th century Devoran was a busy port shipping iron ore which was transported to the village from the inland mining areas via the Redruth and Chacewater four-foot gauge railway which ran along the old tram road between Devoran and Penpol. Point is also at one end of the Bissoe cycle trail which runs along the creek to Devoran through Bissoe and eventually leads to the north Cornish coast at Portreath.
There are golf courses at nearby Truro and Falmouth. Local facilities in Devoran include the parish church, popular public house, doctors surgery and a modern primary school. Local day to day facilities are available in Carnon Downs which include a post office, supermarket, doctors surgery/pharmacy, dental practice, garden centre, village hall and regular bus connections to Truro and Falmouth.
Truro - Truro is renowned for its excellent shopping centre, fine selection of restaurants, bars, private and state schools and main line railway link to London (Paddington). The Hall for Cornwall is also a popular venue providing all year round entertainment and other cultural facilities include the Royal Cornwall Museum and the historic Cathedral.
Falmouth - The historic port of Falmouth has undergone major redevelopment in recent years with huge investment and is now thriving. The town has an excellent range of everyday facilities including banks, building societies, restaurants, schools and colleges as well as a branch railway line providing regular access to Truro.
The harbour and beaches are significant attractions of the town and since 2003 Falmouth has also been home to the National Maritime Museum. For sailing enthusiasts there is direct access to Carrick Roads and the River Fal and several yacht marinas close by. It also has its own university with a campus at Woodlane and Tremough.
