THE LOCATION

Located in the village of Stithans nine miles from Truro and eight miles from Falmouth. The property can be found on the edge of the village in a very quiet and peaceful location overlooking the Kennall Valley. Stithans has a church established in the twelfth century, a chapel and a junior school, the village also supports a post office, a general store, a garage, a public house and a hotel. One major local event held in July which has been established now for almost a century, is the Stithians Agricultural Show one of the best-known village shows in the West Country. Stithians Reservoir, nearby, provides the facility for many aquatic sports and pastimes.

Falmouth is around 8 miles distant with a busy commercial and recreational scene, here there are a wealth of retail shopping opportunities along with a yachting centre able to enjoy the deepest natural harbour in Europe and of course excellent beaches. Golf enthusiasts are well catered for with several excellent clubs in the area and for the yachting and sailing fraternity the opportunities on this part of the Cornish coast are without doubt amongst the finest in the United Kingdom. Many clubs and Marinas have been long established to take advantage of the tidal estuaries and the wonderful day sailing waters. Helford, Falmouth Harbour and Bay, the Carrick Roads and Fal Estuary, creeks at Restronguet, Mylor and the Percuil River are all famous locations easily reached from Stithians.

Truro, about 9 miles away also has excellent shopping facilities but also includes fine performances offered by the Hall for Cornwall Theatre, subject of a recent complete restoration. A direct intercity rail service connects Truro to London Paddington (travel time approximately 4½ hours). Newquay with air links to London and other destinations is around twenty miles from Stithians itself. The area is well served with both private and state schools for all ages including Treliske and Polwhele Preparatory Schools, Truro School, Truro High School for Girls and the University of Cornwall Hub based at Tremough near Penryn.
