The popular resort of St Agnes is about 3.5 miles to the north-east and there are good communication links with a junction to the A30(T) about 3 miles, and a mainline railway station on the London Paddington line at Redruth, about 4 miles. Truro, being the commercial, administrative and retail centre of Cornwall is about 9 miles to the southeast.

Seamyst is extensive and. as shown on the attached floor plans, extends to some 2,111 sq ft. There are some well-proportioned rooms which, reflecting the house’s period origins, benefit from high ceilings and large windows.

Over the last year, the house has been the subject of significant alterations and improvements and today the property is offered for sale with well advanced works. The completion works required include electrics, installation of a kitchen and sanitaryware, installation of windows (22 replacement timber sash windows included), completion of underfloor heating systems, decking and landscaping, plastering, floor coverings, decoration and so forth. Outside to the front is a level terraced area with private off-road car parking for a few vehicles and at the rear the current planning allows for the creation of a lower level patio area and higher level decked sun terrace with first floor access.
