Situation
Situated in a sheltered position on the edge of Tehidy Country Park, the property enjoys the protection, privacy and natural beauty of the 250 acre estate on its doorstep, and also has access to the beautifully manicured 42 acre private Tehidy Park.
History
Once part of an estate owned by the wealthy Bassett mining family, Tehidy Country Park was purchased by the County Council in 1983 and developed into a wonderful recreational country park, with nature trails, lake walks and leafy glades. It encloses the exclusive 42 acre Tehidy Park Estate and to the north lies Tehidy Woods through which there is a pleasant walk to the coast. Also within easy access is the renowned Tehidy Golf Club. It is conveniently situated with access to the A30 trunk road about 1½ miles away. The Cathedral City of Truro lies about 14 miles to the east and offers superb educational, business and retail facilities, together with the newly renovated 'Hall for Cornwall' theatre.
The Property
With well presented accommodation inside and out, the characterful house enjoys attractive stone elevations with cut granite lintels and quoins beneath an attractive slate roof with hipped dormer windows. Internal features include ornate dentilled ceiling roses and cornicing, deep skirtings and corner block architraves. The accommodation has been updated and improved by the current vendors over the last few years including the home office, retractable swimming pool cover, solar panels, as well as a wood pellet central heating boiler.
On entering the property, the entrance hall leads to a bright and airy reception hall with impressive double ceiling height up to 16'6. The cosy sitting room has a log burning stove and views to the garden and land. Other ground floor rooms include a snug, dining room, farmhouse kitchen, home office, utility room and bedroom suite with external access that has successfully been holiday let to discerning couples via AirBnB. There are four further bedrooms (one en-suite) at first floor level, family bathroom and galleried landing.
Gardens
Useful paved areas surround the house, and an elegant pergola stands on the western side. Good sized sitting out areas lie behind the house with an upper level featuring a novelty bar structure. Attractive areas of well-maintained lawn with stone retaining walls and many established shrubs compliment the gardens. To the west of the house is the heated Swimming Pool, surrounded by brick paving, measuring about 23'6' x 11'9' with retractable cover and low wall.
