As its' name implies 'Moorview' enjoys a fabulous vista over open rolling countryside, which is a haven for birds and wildlife, including deer and owls and is partly under the management of the National Trust.
The residence offers generously sized and extremely versatile accommodation which can be readily adapted to suit a variety of needs. The 'annexe' could easily cater for the needs of a dependent relative or teenage offspring seeking a greater degree of independence. Equally the 'annexe' could be utilised to generate an income providing accommodation for holiday guests on an Airbnb or similar basis.
Offering scope for five bedrooms this very well presented family home has been enhanced and improved during the current owners tenure and seems sure to appeal to a wide range of purchasers.
Highlights include a beautifully appointed contemporary fitted kitchen with polished granite working top surfaces and a lounge with a fireplace and wood burning stove for those cosy nights in. These are complemented by a large conservatory with an enviable rural backdrop, an ideal place to unwind and enjoy the sunsets across the valley with a glass of wine.
Outside, the Mediterranean style courtyard garden enjoys a sunny outlook and plays host to a stunning heated swimming pool and sun terrace. A perfect place to sit out and relax or enjoy a spot of al fresco dining.
The front of the residence offers parking for a number of vehicles, a large shed and an up and over door to the store, providing further useful storage space.
The residence largely benefits from double glazing, oil fired central heating and an Air source heat pump for the swimming pool.
The main accommodation, in brief, comprises an entrance porch, hallway, kitchen, lounge, conservatory, utility room, shower room, day lounge / study / bedroom four and a boiler room. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a bathroom and a cloakroom. The 'annexe' has a self contained kitchen, a bedroom and a dressing room together with use of the shower room and day lounge on the ground floor.
Porkellis is a lovely rural hamlet convenient for the towns of Helston and Falmouth with all the amenities they have to offer. The Star Inn in Porkellis is a well regarded pub whilst primary schools are available in the neighbouring hamlets of Halwin and Wendron. Stithians Reservoir and Water Sports Centre are located approximately two miles away. There are a wealth of footpaths and bridleways moments away from the property whilst the National Trust owned Porkellis Moor is nearby. Secondary education can be found both in the towns of Helston and Falmouth while the latter also has a university campus.
