A superb period property, which has been thoroughly modernised by the current owners yet retaining many original features with around 0.84 acres of gardens

Description

The property was once part of the six great estates of Hayle, with the Bodriggy family estate stretching back as far as 1181, before Hayle proper came into being. The current house was built in 1718 on the site of an earlier property and then is thought to have been divided by two sisters in around 1728. It was also once owned by Merchant Curnow who helped to develop the Copperhouse area of Hayle in the mid 1700s. The part Savills are selling was extended in the Victorian period, as such, is a mix of both Georgian & Victorian architecture with corresponding features.

Ground Floor-
From the driveway steps lead up to a paved area which in turn leads to the front door. The front door opens in to a large dual aspect lobby with tiled flooring and ample space for outerwear etc. A pair of glazed doors then open in to the wide, spacious and bright main hall off which all the ground floor rooms lead along with the staircase to the first floor. To the left is the spacious lounge with a high ceiling and stripped wooden flooring, two sash windows overlooking the front garden, a marble fire surround with a recessed log burner and original cornicing. Double doors open from the lounge into the formal dining room, again with a sash window overlooking the front garden, stripped wooden flooring, original cornicing and large bespoke bookshelves with cabinets beneath. A door from the dining room opens in to the main hall with immediately to the left a large cloakroom WC with a terracotta tiled floor and large storage cupboard. To the right of the front door there is access to the breakfast room, kitchen and utility room. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with polished limestone tiled flooring, Neptune cupboards and units which include a large larder cupboard, a central island with breakfast bar, an integrated floor to ceiling fridge and a separate floor to ceiling freezer, oven, microwave, 4-ring induction hob with ceiling mounted extractor fan and light, space for a dishwasher and a 3-oven Gas Aga, granite work surfaces and a double Villeroy & Boch Belfast sink overlooking the rear courtyard. The breakfast room is through a wide opening and down a couple of steps from the kitchen and has stripped pine flooring, an open fireplace (not working) and French doors out in to the garden. This is a large room with plenty of space for both a dining table and sofas for relaxing with family or friends. At the rear of the room is a section of Minton tiles which lead to the door into the main hall. The entrance to the utility room also has a Minton tiled area leading to limestone flooring in the utility area itself. There are bespoke hand painted floor to ceiling cupboards to the left, a sink, plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble drier along with a door opening in to the rear courtyard. A wall mounted, mains gas, Vaillant boiler supplies central heating and hot water and is located to the rear of the utility room.

First Floor-
A wide staircase ascends to the bright first floor landing which is lit by a large window on the right of the stairs. At the top of the stairs is a large cloakroom with sink and WC. All five bedrooms and the family bathroom lead off from the landing. Following the landing round from the top of the stairs the first room, which is in the Georgian section of the house is a large double bedroom with high ceilings and a sash window overlooking the front garden. The second bedroom is the principal bedroom again with high ceilings, two sash windows with window seats overlooking the front garden, bespoke wardrobes and an en suite shower room with a large walk in shower with rainfall head. There are three further bedrooms all overlooking the main garden, one is currently being used as an office but is a good sized double, another good sized double has stripped wooden flooring and the final bedroom is a large single or small double.

To the left of the driveway the garden is mainly laid to lawn with a low-level box garden, well stocked mature borders, large palms and trees at the far boundary.

Location

Bodriggy House is found in the heart of the old Copperhouse part of Hayle and is just a short distance from the shops and facilities. Bodriggy surgery, two chemists and a post office are very close by. A walk over the bridge past the public outdoor swimming pool leads to the sand dunes, Hayle Estuary and then out to Cornwall’s longest sandy beach which stretches all the way to Godrevy Lighthouse.
Hayle lies at the start of the Penwith region of Cornwall at the narrowest point between the north and south coasts. Marazion and Penzance, where good sailing facilities can be found, are only a 15 minute drive away to the south, whilst St Ives is world famous for its art galleries, including the Tate St Ives, restaurants and surfing beaches.

Hayle itself is currently undergoing a regeneration process with one of the South West’s largest building projects underway at North Quay. Once complete North Quay will have 500 properties, two cinemas, restaurants, shops, an art gallery and better infrastructure for the fishing community.
Hayle benefits from a wide range of local cafes, restaurants, shops, general stores and supermarkets with a large Boots and Marks and Spencer, off the A30 roundabout, as well as a small hospital.

The rugged beauty of the Penwith area is well known to walkers and birdwatchers and the Links West Cornwall Golf Club at Lelant draws visitors from across Britain.
The area is very well served by transport links with a mainline railway station at Hayle on the Penzance to Paddington line.

Hayle Academy is a coeducational secondary school and is sponsored by the excellent Truro and Penwith Academy Trust and has received at Ofsted rating of Good (March 2022)
