Goonvrea, Perranarworthal

A superb, 2-storey converted coach house, part of the former Goonvrea Estate, situated on a private drive, amidst surrounding woodland, equidistant from the cathedral city of Truro and port of Falmouth. Providing well proportioned and appointed 2 bedroom, 2 bath/shower room accommodation, with spacious living areas, double glazed windows, gas fired central heating, a recently installed bespoke handmade kitchen and handmade tiles, tiered, private, sheltered and attractively planted gardens, together with extensive private parking for 4 vehicles.

The Location - The Goonvrea Estate is a small, select development of substantial detached houses, together with the superb conversion of the original mellow stone and slate coach house, of which 'Copper Beech' occupies an exceptional part (freehold) by virtue of its extensive and private front and side gardens, together with its own large part walled parking area, with archway access, sufficient for up to four vehicles.

Goonvrea is situated on the edge of Perranarworthal which, itself, adjoins the well served village of Perranwell Station whose day-to-day amenities include a highly regarded county primary school, garage, village stores, railway halt and public house - The Royal Oak. Along the A39, the Norway Inn, fruit and veg stall at Stickenbridge, and regular bus services are all within a short walking distance. Mylor and the sailing creeks and waters of the Fal Estuary are just a few minutes drive away, with Goonvrea perfectly situated also for the cathedral city of Truro in one direction, and port of Falmouth, and university campus at Tremough, in the other.

The Property - From its own private parking area, broad granite steps lead onto a paved terrace with patio/dining area and many mature specimen trees and shrubs which further enhance the lightly wooded surroundings. Steps lead to the private entrance to 'Copper Beech' and, beyond, to the side of the house where a French door opens from the master bedroom and leads onto the upper terraces which again are beautifully stocked and landscaped and, like many of the rooms, enjoy an elevated outlook towards the wooded upper reaches of Devoran Creek.

Gas centrally heated and with sympathetic sealed unit double glazing throughout, the ground floor reception rooms benefit from high ceilings, with the living room featuring a glass-fronted log burner and attractive turning staircase to the first floor. The kitchen/diner is double aspect with tall windows to the front elevation, also enjoying the attractive outlook. A high quality, individual, bespoke handmade kitchen and handmade tiles, with marble worksurfaces has been installed by the present owner.

Upstairs, the landing, together with bedroom two and a family shower room, feature vaulted ceilings with exposed trusses, with the principal bedroom suite being particularly spacious, with its own private bathroom, and two aspects over the grounds and surrounding countryside, including a small pane French door onto the gardens.

A beautiful house, full of charm and quality, perfectly situated for both Falmouth and Truro - early viewing unhesitatingly recommended.
