Perranarworthal, Truro

A superb detached four bedroom family house with over 3000 sq ft of space, a one bedroom annexe and double garage, set in extensive grounds with gardens and woodland exceeding an acre. Convenient location for access to Truro, Penryn and Falmouth along with delightful nearby villages including Perranwell, Mylor, Ponsanooth & Devoran.

Why You'll Like It - Located at the start of 'Gunpowder Valley', this extensive and historic property is nestled in substantial landscaped gardens and dates from 1809. The original building was the gunpowder magazine with a vital role in the Cosawes gunpowder production process and, throughout the nearby village there are remnants of the industrial past from when Ponsanooth was known for gunpowder production. The original building was added to in the 1960s with the main part of the house and garage and the annexe has been converted from a former workshop area. The property is set back away from passing traffic, down a shared private driveway and has ample driveway parking and garage (with additional parking area suitable for a caravan etc on a separate lease). The gardens are the defining feature of this family house with a Mediterranean garden designed around an impressive olive tree along with a woodland garden offering a riot of spring colour from bluebells and azalea, and the current owner has planted a great deal including many rhododendron, fruit trees and tree ferns. The house is built over the double garage and there are stairs internally from the garage to the hallway. The property briefly comprises; entrance hallway, kitchen (situated in the old part dating from 1809) with a range of farmhouse units designed around a central island and having a range cooker, fridge and dishwasher built-in along with polished granite work surfaces. From the kitchen there's a snug with wood burner, leading to a conservatory. Also on the ground floor is the primary suite with dressing area and en-suite, an additional bedroom, the utility and plant room with internal door to the one bedroom annexe. Upstairs there is a living room with wood burner, two further bedrooms and a shower room and also access to a sheltered sun terrace with hot tub. The outside space is a gardener's dream with so much already in place but plenty of space to enjoy and experiment with more planting schemes etc. Families will love the garden and there is an area that was excavated with a yurt in mind. The house is heated via a biomass boiler and supplemented by two wood burners and solar thermal panels and has double glazing. This is a dream family home in a superb setting.
