Comfort Road, Mylor Bridge, TR11

THE PROPERTY

The current owner of Lakeside has loved living here, having first secured the delightfully positioned building plot 30 years ago and with her civil engineer husband, set about creating something special for their retirement. Advancing years have prompted plans to reserve and move to a top notch apartment along Falmouth seafront. This inspired property presents almost 2300²ft of flexible accommodation with some truly ‘stand out’ features. ‘Living space’ is generous with a superb 29’ long reception room, opening into a quality conservatory/garden room. The kitchen/dining room is 23’ long with all of these areas facing south and flowing effortlessly out to the substantial porcelain terrace and the  garden. There are four bedrooms, including one downstairs, equally suited as a study, if preferred. The master bedroom suite is fantastic with an uplifting namesake view of the neighbouring lake with plenty of visiting birds and wildlife. This room is ensuite and has a huge dressing room with extensive built in wardrobe and cupboard space. There are bath/shower rooms up and downstairs and the kitchen/dining room leads internally to the generous single size garage. All is comfortable and well equipped: lovely to have a quality, stylish woodburning stove in the reception room, as well as radiator central heating throughout. It’s practical too, with plenty of storage space throughout. A discreet, splayed entrance off Comfort Road leads onto a driveway owned by Lakeside and serving it and one other home, Dingley Dell, beyond. The rear garden faces south and is private and enclosed, where a stream tumbles beside and is wonderfully audible when relaxing on the expansive porcelain terraces. All in all this is a gem of a property, presenting so many valuable features within this most popular of creekside communities.

THE LOCATION

‘Lakeside’ sits in an enviable spot, on the outskirts of Mylor Bridge. It’s a delightful position, off Comfort Road along a drive accessing two homes, where the village centre and creekside are within a leisurely ten minute walk. Mylor has an an active, friendly community and excellent facilities that include the Lemon Arms Pub, a well stocked village store, a highly regarded primary school, pre-school and playgroups. There are Doctor and Dentist surgeries, a Post Office and Newsagent, Hairdressers, award winning Butcher's shop plus a Fishmonger. The Village Hall has an extensive programme that includes exhibitions, a history group, keep-fit classes and monthly cinema showings. There are also several local clubs, tennis courts, a bowling green, playing fields plus a regular bus service running to Falmouth and Truro. Small wonder that the Sunday Times has named Mylor Bridge as 'One of the Best Places to Live' and that it is one of the most desirable villages around. The village is located approximately 4 miles from the harbour town of Falmouth and 8 miles from the Cathedral City of Truro both of which have good schools, excellent shops, business and recreational facilities. Mylor Creek is a tributary of the River Fal, leading into the Carrick Roads with access to some of the best day sailing waters in the country. There are a number of yacht clubs nearby including those at Restronguet, Mylor, Flushing and several in Falmouth. Mylor Harbour, just a short distance away, has remarkable facilities including a Marina with pontoon and swinging moorings, chandlers, marine services plus restaurants and a general store/café.
