The Engine House stands in a commanding position on the sides of a valley and enjoys pleasant unspoiled countryside views of the area.

The Engine House - Converted by the current owners in the early 1990s, Wheal Enys Stamps is a traditional granite and slate stamping Engine House for a mine further up the hill and which today provides residential accommodation over four storeys. Originally constructed, we believe, in about 1840, the Cornish heritage of this building is reflected in its status as a Grade II Listed Building of Special Architectural or Historic Interest.

On the ground floor, a heavy front door with arched headlight over opens to an Entrance Hall with wood effect floor, balustrade stairs off to first floor and under-stairs cupboard. Adjacent is a Kitchen and Dining Room. The Kitchen includes a matching range of base and eye level Shaker style units with rolled worktop surfaces to splashback tiling and include, an oil-fired 2-oven Heritage which serves domestic hot water and central heating, a stainless steel double sink with single drainer and mixer tap. Off, is a small rear Hall with door to outside and doors to an Office and a Bathroom with a freestanding claw foot cast iron bath, high level wc and suspended washbasin. Also on the ground floor is a Bedroom with outlook to side garden and door to outside.

On the lower ground level is a Utility Room (no window) with plumbing for washing machine, a useful Cellar Store (no window) and a main Bedroom with door to outside and door to En Suite with tiled shower cubicle with electric shower, wc and washbasin.

On the first floor is a third Bedroom and above, on the top floor, an impressive Living Room with high ceiling, triple aspect, corner wood-burner (new 2025), views and doors to the outside suspended Balcony.

The Garden And Land - Outside, adjacent to an extensive car parking and turning area, is a level lawn garden with mature Cornish hedge and borders.
