1 House and Garden Offers around 450,000 Building Plot Offers around 200,000 Primrose Nook, School Lane, Portreath, Redruth, Cornwall FREEHOLD In an incredible, picturesque ancient woodland lined valley yet within walking distance of the beach and village facilities; a handsome stone faced double fronted detached, 4 bedroomed period house in about 1 acre including a large pond and small area of woodland. Available to purchase either together or separately is an adjacent building plot with outline planning permission for a detached house and garaging overlooking ½ an acre of level garden.

2 2 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: entrance porch, dining room, lounge, sun room, kitchen, conservatory, store rooms, wc. First Floor: landing, 4 bedrooms, bathroom. Outside: long driveway, level front lawn with raised terrace and planted beds. Rear sun patio and terraced garden with greenhouse and former vegetable plots. Extensive further garden and large pond on the other side of the drive. In all about 1 acre. BUILDING PLOT: outline planning permission was passed on the 12 th September 2017 under reference PA17/04070 for a detached dwelling with the plans provided to the council indicating garaging as well. The building plot is currently a large level lawn at the end of the current driveway fringed by woodland. In all, about ½ an acre. In total about 1½ acres. DESCRIPTION Primrose Nook and the adjacent building plot are available to purchase either together or independently and are found in the most incredible of settings standing in a woodland lined valley with extensive level lawns with a stream along one side and a large pond. One would never know that this property existed on the edge of Portreath, within walking distance of the various facilities and also the harbour and surfing beach, as it is completely tucked away with a long driveway leading into the grounds.

3 3 The house is a handsome double fronted stone faced building with a hipped slate roof and it has evidently been extended to the rear to provide four bedroomed and three good reception roomed accommodation. The house is well presented but offers a new owner various potential opportunities to add value and make alterations to suit themselves. The house is to be sold to include the gardens to the front and rear of it bounded by the driveway, a spur of woodland fronting School Lane and a further large area of garden including the pond on the other side of the driveway, this gives the new owners plenty of space to create garaging and further parking areas, subject to planning and should it be desirable, as well as extensive space to enjoy this beautiful setting. The building plot is to the south of the grounds where outline planning permission has been granted under reference PA17/04070 (dated 12/09/17) for the construction of a detached house and garaging. The plot also fronts the stream and is fringed by woodland and we expect the completed house to be of significant value. Our client s preference would be to either sell everything as a whole or to have a simultaneous exchange of contracts on both Lots. We also note that some potential purchasers of the plot may wish to have larger grounds including the pond and that some purchasers of the house may not wish to own the grounds with the pond and so we are open to discussion about offers for either the house or the plot with this area included.

4 4 LOCATION Primrose Nook and the building plot are found at the edge of Portreath in a secluded yet easily accessible position. Within walking distance is the historic fishing harbour, superb sandy surfing beach, various village pubs, cafés, restaurant, highly regarded bakery and general store. There is an excellent primary school in the village and secondary education is nearby at Redruth with private schooling available in Truro. This stretch of the north Cornish coastline is renowned for clifftop walks over mostly National Trust owned land with incredible views out to sea. Although Portreath has its own large beach, a few miles to the west is St Ives bay with Cornwall s longest sandy beach stretching from Godrevy Lighthouse around to St Ives itself. A little over a mile away is Tehidy Golf Club and the publicly accessible Tehidy County Park woodland walks. There are excellent sailing facilities at Mylor and Falmouth which are about half an hour drive away on the south coast and the A30 expressway is only about two miles away providing swift access throughout the county and to the motorway network at Exeter. There are mainline railway stations at Redruth and Truro which is about a 20 minute drive away and is Cornwall s capital city and here one will find the largest array of shops and services in Cornwall.

OUTSIDE Primrose Nook and the plot are approached over a driveway which is initially shared but then becomes private to these properties. A further pedestrian walkway to the side leads solely to Primrose Nook. To the front of Primrose Nook is a level lawned garden with a beautiful planted bed to one side, fronted by a huge camelia and to the other side is a low stone wall, four tall fir trees and a mix of grasses and shrubs including rose, hydrangea and camelia. Across the front of the house is a raised gravelled terrace with a pull-in tarmac parking area to its side. At an upper level is a slate and granite terrace which extend from the front door around the side of the property.

8 8 To the rear of the house is a further, larger slate paved terrace partly backed by the rock face to the side of the house and partly backed by a stone wall with hedging above. Beyond this are small lawns at two tiers in an area that was previously a vegetable garden and here there is also a greenhouse. On the other side of the driveway is a large and level grassed area bordered by a pretty small stream and many lovely shrubs which have grown into the thick and ancient woodland beyond. At the bottom of this area is a large and particularly beautiful pond which attracts all manner of wildlife including deer to the garden. When looking beyond the grounds there is woodland and uncultivated slopes all adding to the feeling that this property is in the middle of the countryside, yet it is just moments walk from the village facilities and only a little further walk to the beach and harbour.
