Mabe Burnthouse

An amazing opportunity to own this substantial and imposing, four/five bedroom older style detached house which is set in the heart of Mabe within a few minutes walk to all the amenities that this well served village has to offer its residents.

Highfield was built in 1922 and has distinctive rendered, double fronted elevations, typical of buildings erected in this era. Highfield is one of those landmark houses which you will have seen travelling to and from the village and it comes to the market for the first time in over 30 years with our vendor clients downsizing locally.

Extended from it's original form back in 1971 and providing bright, spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors and with the flexibility that would allow you to create an internal ground floor annexe without compromising the size of the main house.

The property has been well maintained by our clients over the years and is offered for sale in good condition, having been recently comprehensively redecorated throughout in neutral colour schemes. There are plenty of features to impress potential buyers including gas fired central heating by radiators, UPVC double-glazed windows and doors (where stated), feature fireplaces in the main reception rooms (not tested), a refitted shaker style kitchen with polished work surfaces and appliances, a modern family bath and shower room, fitted bedroom furniture and quality floor coverings throughout.

Upon viewing the property, you will appreciate the sheer amount of space the house offers and on the ground floor this includes an impressive large dining hall, a sitting room, a breakfast room, a side hallway and cloakroom/WC, fitted shaker style kitchen and utility room alongside with access to the double garage. On the far side an inner hallway leads to a fifth bedroom with a large en-suite shower room and two studies, would be easily converted to separate accommodation for an independent relative or teenager. A staircase from the dining hall leads to a large first floor landing where you will find four bedrooms and a box room plus a generous family bathroom/shower room and WC.

This fine home approached by a five bar gate which sweeps into a large level tarmacadam driveway providing plenty of parking and turning and access to the attached double garage which has an EV car charging point on one side. The property sits amidst beautiful, large mature gardens which are ideal for a family with free range children and animals.

The village of Mabe is well served with local amenities including a convenience store with sub post office and off licence, village hall, primary school, community centre and on the outskirts of the village, Argal Dam with fishing, outdoor adventure playground for children and a delightful walk through around the reservoir. Falmouth University/University of Exeter (Tremough Campus) is within easy walking distance and there are good transport links by road to the surrounding towns of Penryn, Falmouth and the cathedral city of Truro.

HOUSES OF THIS CALIBRE AND IN THIS LOCATION ARE RARELY AVAILABLE, SO AS OUR CLIENTS SOLE AGENTS, WE HIGHLY RECCOMMEND A PERSONAL VIEWING TO APPRECIATE THIS FINE HOME.

GARDENS
Highfield sits on one of the largest plots we have seen in the village and is approached through a timber five bar gate which bisects a wide an original grass topped random cornish stone boundary and with a tarmacadam driveway running across the front of the house, raised shaped lawns with well stocked borders on both sides with mixed hedging including rhododendrons and hydrangeas and an open aspect looking across towards Antron Way. With access either side of the property and to the left down a small pathway passing lovely rhododendrons to an amazing large garden which is absolutely ideal for an active large growing family. It has sweeping lawns and a paved patio which is perfect for relaxing and entertaining your family and friends in the sunshine, a second terraced colour slate patio sits outside the sitting room and can be approached from the glass house. To the left of the patio is a block built garden store, and a shed. The whole garden is surrounded by mature trees and mixed hedging which rather than taking the sunlight it gives you maximum privacy from your neighbours. Steps from the main lawn lead down to a second level which again is interspersed with a wide variety of plants and trees. It is certainly impossible to describe a beautiful garden in print, only a personal viewing will allow you to fully appreciate the beauty and size of these gardens.
