Truro, Cornwall FREEHOLD A gorgeous Grade II Listed thatched and slate roofed 3 bedroomed extended country cottage along with detached 2 en-suite bedroomed lodge and detached garage with studio over. Nestling in a quiet, delightful rural location between Truro and the north Cornish coastline, Lambourne Cottage stands amidst mature gardens and grounds of approximately 1 acre.

DESCRIPTION Lambourne Cottage is a deceptively spacious Grade II Listed property which originally dates from the 18 th Century offering beautifully planned, well appointed accommodation of considerable style and character.

3 3 Lambourne Cottage is likely, in our opinion, to create a tremendous amount of interest. There are only a limited number of such beautifully presented country residences with large gardens within a 10 mile radius of Truro which have been offered for sale in the past few years, in particular in this price range, and it is indeed rare to find such a well appointed and carefully planned characterful property available for sale on the open market. It is our experience that such properties are found to attract a considerable amount of interest from buyers based both locally and out of the county. Due to the extreme scarcity of other similar properties of this calibre and in a setting like this, we unhesitatingly and wholeheartedly advise an immediate personal inspection to fully appreciate not only the location but also the quality of craftmanship throughout. The accommodation is on two levels and is served by two separate staircases. Recently completely rethatched in 2016, with brick chimneys and a large bedroom extension with a pitched slated roof in diminishing courses, the external appearance of Lambourne Cottage is enchanting. With considerable attention to detail, the restoration of Lambourne Cottage has now been painstakingly completed. Features include lime render, slate sills, original Bakelite electrical fitments, double glazed windows within the new build section, cast iron radiators throughout with Chartwell Bronze Valves, together with gardens have been planted to provide colour all year round, including camellias, rhododendrons and a separate herb and rose garden with basil, sage, thyme, mint and dill to name but a few. The garden also enjoys an abundance of summer and autumn fruits and berries. Approached off the farm lane with three five bar gates giving access to parking areas, including an in and out drive, access is given from the porch to a good sized main reception hall with staircase ascending to the first floor landing. Doors open from the reception hall to a separate wc, the sitting room and fitted kitchen with granite worktops. Further doorways from both the kitchen and sitting room give access to a snug with feature fireplace and a door to the rear lobby opening to the outside. An additional doorway from the kitchen opens to a good sized study area with slate flagged floor, as is the case with much of the ground floor, which gives access to the separate utility room and a rear hall (with door to the garden) and leads to the living room and with stairs ascending from the rear hall to a master bedroom. From the main reception hall, stairs ascend to two further good sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside, the garden and grounds are an important feature being well stocked and enjoying a high degree of privacy. To the north western side of the cottage is a separate 2 en-suite bedroomed lodge providing additional accommodation, whilst to the south eastern side of the cottage is a large detached garage with studio over. Often said but seldom true, the availability of Lambourne Cottage represents an extremely rare opportunity to acquire what must surely be one of the very best country residences available for sale at the moment between Truro and the north Cornish coast in this particular price range. Ideal as either a good sized family home, for retirement or indeed as a holiday home, the property is likely to appeal to those in search of a beautifully presented house with an abundance of character, privacy and excellent access to Truro, yet close to the north Cornish coast.

4 4 LOCATION Lambourne Cottage is a truly unique find in a particularly desirable rural setting being extremely convenient for access to Truro and, of course, to the magnificent sandy beaches of Perranporth and Cornwall s north coast, highly favoured amongst the surfing fraternity. Perranporth, which is about 3 miles away, caters for everyday needs and has tremendous coastal scenery and beaches. The area abounds in fabulous scenic walks along the South West Coast Path and scenery ranging from rugged dramatic cliffs to outstanding golden sandy beaches and small coves, some in the ownership of the National Trust, such as Chapel Porth near St Agnes which is about 5 miles away. Both Perranporth and the nearby village of St Agnes provide a useful array of local amenities with Mithian about a mile away having a pub and post office. The cathedral city of Truro (about 7 miles away) offers Cornwall s foremost range of shopping, business, commercial and both state and private schooling facilities. The main A30 road is within a few miles, making this a most accessible location with fast access to Plymouth and Exeter and onto the M5 motorway. There is a mainline rail link at Truro on the Paddington to Penzance line (London about 4½ hours travelling time), whilst Newquay Airport at St Mawgan provides daily flights to London Gatwick.
