General Comments - Nankilly Farm is arguably one of the most impressive houses within the Truro to St. Austell area. The property was purchased by the current owner in 2013 and has been completely refurbished and extended substantially to a very high standard. It really is a stunning detached country house, the type and size that is almost impossible to find - the accommodation extends to over 8000 square feet. The house was completely re-wired with new plumbing along with oil central heating at this time. The impressive side and rear extensions form symmetrical projecting wings to the original long rectangular farmhouse to form a classic "U" shape of impressive proportions, all of which enjoy uninterrupted views over its own land to undulating countryside beyond. The house has very high levels of insulation and double glazing resulting in an excellent energy performance rating. It is ideal for family living.

The accommodation includes five double bedrooms, bathroom and additional sitting room on the first floor. Three bedrooms have en suite bathrooms. The ground floor includes an impressive kitchen/breakfast room with Aga, dining room, sitting room, lounge, study, rear hall, utility room and cloakroom. All of the rooms enjoy pleasant garden and countryside view and have quality engineered oak flooring except the kitchen and bathrooms which are tiled.

The property stands at the end of a very long entrance drive and is surrounded by impressive mature gardens and grounds.
