Greenbottom, Chacewater, Truro, Cornwall, TR4

Description

The wonderfully secluded and private setting this property enjoys is somewhat unrivalled this close to the County town. The property enjoys some of the most splendid far reaching views our across its own land towards neighbouring farmland in the distance. Once within the confines of this farmstead you get a real sense of privacy. Following our clients purchase in 2018, Seveock has undergone a significant improvement programme whilst conscious to retain plenty of the original character and charm of this 17th century smallholding. An incredibly high level of attention and detail was given both prior and throughout the changes made within the property extending to include a bespoke high quality kitchen with Egyptian granite work surfaces together with top of the range integrated Neff appliances, the installation of under floor heating throughout the ground floor, a comprehensive range of fitted cupboards, wardrobes and useful storage areas by the renowned local carpenter, George Edyvean.

The principle reception room is of particular note spanning the full length of the original cottage enjoying multiple windows overlooking the immediate gardens with plenty of original features including a beamed ceiling and open fireplace. The kitchen / family space is also a fantastic room of exceptional quality enjoying light and spacious accommodation with wonderful views focusing across the open fields and the countryside in the distance. As previously mentioned, the high quality kitchen has been fitted with a comprehensive range of base and wall mounted units complimented with generous work surface space, integrated Neff appliances, AEG wine cooler and “Franke” instant hot & cold water tap. A separate utility / boot room provides additional units together with a fitted American Style Samsung Fridge/Freezer whilst a courtesy door leads to the outside patio and garden area.

At first floor level there are 4 bedrooms, two of which provide en suite shower room facilities whilst a well-appointed family bathroom provides facilities for the remaining two bedrooms. The master bedroom has been fitted with a bank of fitted wardrobes and clever space saving carpentry, again by George Edyvean.

Outside

The property is approached via a private driveway leading to electric operated gates which in turn leads to a spacious parking area. Immediately in front of you is a detached single story building which was previously used as office space many years ago. During our clients tenure they have transformed various areas within this building to a home office and a separate self contained bedroom suite. There are a number of rooms within this building and therefore this area offers huge potential for a number of conversion ideas. Should anyone wish to run a business from home the space is almost perfect as it is. However, subject to the necessary permissions required this area could be converted into additional accommodation or alternatively used to create garaging or workshop space. There are additional outbuildings running parallel to the office building which are currently being used for storage, but again can offer further development opportunities if so required.

Beyond this excellent space on the fringes of the paddocks is a bespoke stable block with separate garaging area. This excellent building has been commission by our clients and offers excellent facilities for those buyers seeking space for horses or ponies. The formal gardens wrap around the entire property and provide a number of pleasant areas to sit out and enjoy the wonderful countryside outlook Seveock has to offer. Within the formal gardens are some well established plants and shrubs whilst a separate vegetable garden with greenhouse provides excellent space for those buyers seeking a kitchen garden. There are also approx 4 acres of paddock located to the northern side of the property. All in all this wonderful property must be viewed internally to fully appreciate the quality of the refurbishment programme that has been completed together with the versatility not only the accommodation has to offer but also the outbuildings and workshops.

Location

Once the richest and busiest square mile in the world, the countryside that surrounds Seveock is now peaceful and quiet, even in Cornwall's busiest summer months. In the heart of the county, it is just five miles to the surf and cliff top walks of the north coast and ten miles to the calmer seas and sailing waters in the south. Truro, Falmouth and Redruth form a triangle in which Seveock sits on the northern edge, just four miles to the west of Truro city centre, making for an easy commute to work and school. Private and public schooling along with Truro College, Treliske and The Duchy Hospital are all within an approximate two mile drive. Communications to this part of Cornwall are good with the A30 two miles to the north and mainline railway stations at both Truro and Redruth. Newquay Airport, with regular flights to London Gatwick, Manchester and the Isles of Scilly is twenty two miles to the north east.

There are many highly favoured footpaths within easy reach of Seveock with popular bridleways freely available. From Seveock direct access to the Saints Trail is possible, which links Truro with St Agnes which further along picks up the Perranporth to Goonhavern trail. This excellent trail can be enjoyed by foot, by horseback or via cycle power. Seveock is within easy walking distance of the villages of Chacewater and Threemilestone which both offer a range of pubs, post offices, convenience stores, garden centre and independent bakeries. The villages surrounding Chacewater owe their history to Cornwall's important and prosperous mining heritage and the fine Georgian houses in the area reflect this. Built for the engineers and industrialists who pioneered the industrial revolution and the mining of tin and other valuable commodities of the time.
