Guide Price £1,150,000 5 bedroom character property for sale Nr Philleigh, TR2

Tenure: Freehold

Ardevora occupies a unique and tranquil rural waterside setting with approximately 691 yards of actual frontage to the River Fal, located at the end of a long and unmade private lane (approx three quarters of a mile). With just 2 neighbouring properties sharing the lane, each property enjoys its own private drive at the end, thus giving seclusion from each other without the feel of complete and total isolation. This attractive and imposing residence is set within approximately 18.15 acres in total, the majority being adjacent to the River Fal, with frontage on three sides, creating a feeling of being almost set on its own mini peninsula.

The house itself is a beautiful former farmhouse, from the Georgian period, with what was probably a later Victorian extension. The house has much charm and character with rooms of generous proportions giving a light and airy feel. Wonderful views across the fields and the River Fal can be enjoyed from many of its rooms.

This delightful property has a friendly atmosphere and many original features such as flagstone floors and fireplaces. The accommodation offers a 'blank canvas' for those looking to put their own mark on the property.
