The Main House

The property is approached via a generous private driveway, with traditional stone walls and an arched opening leading through to the garden. The glazed sunroom has a pitched glass roof and double doors opening onto the terrace.

Period features throughout the house include high ceilings, ornate cornicing, decorative ceiling roses, stripped timber doors, fireplaces and stained-glass windows. The living room has an exposed-stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove and a large sash window overlooking the garden. The separate dining room features a chequerboard tiled floor, panelled detailing and a stone fireplace housing an electric aga. It provides space for a substantial dining table and additional furniture.
The galley-style kitchen is fitted with timber cabinetry, timber work surfaces, patterned tiled splashbacks and a large range cooker. A separate utility room provides space for laundry appliances and additional storage, with its own external door to the patio and garden. The whole house including the annexe has recently (2025) been fitted with modern double glazed sash windows throughout, improving the energy efficiency of the house whilst maintaining the character of this historic property. The loft has also been partially boarded, including new insulation, providing valuable storage and further improvements to the property’s energy efficiency.

First Floor

The first floor contains five bedrooms and the family bathroom. There are 4 double bedrooms, one with an ensuite and 3 with adjoining storage rooms. The fifth bedroom is currently used as a dedicated home-office with far-reaching sea views. It could equally serve as a nursery, child’s bedroom, or hobby space.  The principal bedroom (bedroom 4) benefits from a large walk-in wardrobe and stunning views over the garden, Camborne, and out to the north coast. There is another spacious double bedroom on the garden side also boasting elevated views, together with a large adjoining storage room. The ensuite bedroom is currently used as the main guest room and second home office. The family bathroom is a distinctive feature of the house, with a freestanding bath positioned in front of a decorative stained-glass window, a walk-in rainfall shower and contemporary fittings. 

Self-Contained Annexe

With its own private entrance, accessed from the driveway the annexe incorporates an entirely self-contained one-bedroom living accommodation. Entrance is via a useful sunroom with utility and dining space, which connects directly to a kitchen, cloakroom, and bathroom. Tall double doors then lead to the comfortable living room and then onto the generous double bedroom, featuring an ornate fireplace and large sash window with garden and coastal views.
Currently occupied on a long-term tenancy and previously operated as holiday accommodation, the annexe offers potential rental income alongside options for accommodating relatives, adult children or guests. Alternatively the annexe could easily be opened up to be part of the main house again creating opportunities for additional reception rooms or large open plan kitchen diner. 
Gardens and Grounds
The broad terrace and extensive lawn create an incredible setting for family life, summer gatherings and sunset drinks, all wrapped in mature planting and traditional stone walls. A paved terrace provides ample space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with views towards the beautiful Cornish north coast and setting summer sun.

Parking, Workshop and Storage

The private driveway provides extensive off-road parking for multiple vehicles, with an arched opening in the stone wall connecting the parking area to the garden. A detached workshop measuring approximately 3 m × 5.8 m offers space for hobbies, tools, bicycles or other equipment. There is also a garden store measuring 3.8 m × 3.8 m and a further storage shed, providing useful additional space.
