Antron Hill, Mabe Burnthouse, TR10

THE PROPERTY

Oaklands House was originally built in the early 1990's and is almost unrecognisable from its humble beginnings, the current owners have recently carried out a full renovation on the property with no expense spared. There is a wonderful feeling of luxury, space and relaxation. The property has been significantly extended, with two-storey extensions to the front and rear and a large loft conversion which has almost doubled the size of the original size of the property. These changes, along with the full renovations and modernization throughout, undoubtedly make this one of the most desirable homes in the area. Standout features include apex vaulted ceilings in two of the bedrooms, magnificent and stylish bathrooms, handcrafted and bespoke staircases including an historic spiral staircase and a fabulous kitchen with bi-fold doors opening out to the landscaped gardens. The accommodation is bright and versatile and comprises a stunning open plan living space with bi-fold doors bringing the outside in and perfect for entertaining or family time. The kitchen is beautifully made with built-in appliances and more storage cupboards than you could ever imagine, including a walk-in pantry, sure to impress the most discerning of chefs. There’s a playroom area that could also be used as a home office or studio, and a separate sitting room with a media wall for a quieter space to relax. Upstairs, the master bedroom is more than impressive, with a unique en-suite bathroom featuring a double ended copper slipper bath and a walk-in wardrobe. There are two further spacious double bedrooms on the first floor, one with its own en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, plus a stylish family bathroom. On the landing, a bespoke bookcase and spiral staircase lead up to the top floor, where you'll find two more large double bedrooms with Velux windows facing Southerly and plenty of eaves storage. The master bedroom enjoys elevated views facing in a Southerly direction with glimpses of Falmouth Bay, Penryn River and distant countryside views. The exterior elevations have been re-rendered plus a new roof fitted with Velux windows. Other updates include a full electrical rewire with modern lighting, an up to date modern RCD consumer unit, newly installed gas boiler, radiators, underfloor heating system and a pressurised hot water tank, all of these modern additions and upgrades are comparable to a new build. There’s plenty of parking at the front with space for larger vehicles to turn easily. Credit to the owners for creating a wonderful family home with every feature and style carefully considered. The high quality and standard to this home is not one to be missed and a viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate what is on offer here. Further details with the extensions and build can be found on the planning portal on the Cornwall Council website using the application number: PA21/10901. We at Heather and Lay are delighted and proud to offer this wonderful property to the open market.
