Tregatreath, Mylor Bridge, TR11

THE PROPERTY

Tregatreath House presents an incredibly rare chance to own a fine and prominent house with a glorious garden and considerable ‘slice’ of direct water frontage to Mylor Creek. Available for the first time in over 30 years, the property is being sold with no onward chain and an ability to enjoy ‘as is’ or indeed to modernise and expand, subject to necessary consents. The setting and outlook is wonderful with an established 0.29 acre landscaped and mostly walled garden, and a gated slipway onto the shore. Tregatreath House is distinctive and attractive, believed to have been built in the 1920s with many original and quality features retained. Accommodation is well proportioned with separate bay window sitting and dining rooms and a fitted kitchen with dining/breakfast area. Upstairs are three bedrooms, the large master room with en suite shower room/WC. All is practical with extensive cupboard and storge space, a large utility room, downstairs WC and a cellar. Entrance is via a remotely controlled electric gate onto a driveway, about 90' (27.43m) long, culminating in a generous detached garage with workshop. Located at the head of the slipway is a delightful water view annexe with shower room, ideal for guests perhaps, or as a studio or office. Opportunities like this are rare in the extreme, presenting an uplifting environment and home by the water, on the edge of this most sought-after of villages and communities.

THE LOCATION

Tregatreath House enjoys an uplifting position beside the water with about 140’ of direct frontage to Mylor Creek. The location is truly fantastic with a private slipway giving access onto the river and an ability to explore the waterways of the Fal. Mylor has an active, friendly community and excellent facilities that include the Lemon Arms Pub, the well-stocked Mylor store, a highly regarded primary school, pre-school and playgroups. Great to have a new coffee shop and deli; - Isobel’s, in the village and those in the know make their weekly pilgrimage to The Food Barn at Tregew, less than a mile away; it’s a Saturday produce market, where over 20 stalls come together to offer tasty, sustainable produce that is high in quality and encourages a supportive environment. Mylor has doctor and dentist surgeries, a Post Office and newsagent, hairdressers, award-winning butcher's shop plus a fish seller. 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 Truro Cathedral City, both of which have good schools, excellent shops, and business and recreational facilities. Tregatreath House has about 140’ of direct frontage to Mylor Creek, which 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 and restaurants.
