Lower Ninnis, Redruth, Cornwall, TR16

The Property

Occupying a delightful rural position close to Gwennap Pit, this impressive detached character home offers generous and highly adaptable accommodation, beautifully maintained gardens and excellent ancillary space, including a double garage, adjoining workshop and parking for numerous vehicles.

.

Believed to have originated as two cottages dating from the 1860s, the property retains a number of characterful features whilst having been thoughtfully extended on three occasions to create a substantial and versatile family home. Offering four established bedrooms, with the potential for a fifth, the accommodation is particularly well suited to modern family life and could readily accommodate multi-generational living, home working or those requiring flexible reception space.

.

A useful entrance porch, with a ground-floor cloakroom, leads into a welcoming hallway. This generous area provides an attractive introduction to the home and, subject to requirements, could also be adapted to create an additional sitting or reception space. At the heart of the property is a comfortable sitting room with a multi-fuel stove, providing a warm and inviting central gathering point.

.

The hallway also leads into the principal living and entertaining areas, where the lounge and dining room flow naturally into one another. The spacious lounge features a multi-fuel stove set within a recessed marble fireplace, while the adjoining double-aspect dining room benefits from skylights which introduce an abundance of natural light. Together, these rooms create an exceptionally sociable environment, equally suited to relaxed family life and entertaining.

.

The G-shaped kitchen is both spacious and light, with a considered layout and uninterrupted sightlines created by the absence of eye-level cupboards and shelving. A Rangemaster electric cooker is included, and there is sufficient space to incorporate a dining area if desired. Beyond the dining room, a rear sun room provides a practical connection between the house and the gardens, with access towards the driveway, garages and outside space.

.

A further room at the front of the property is currently used as a study or office, although its size and position would allow it to be repurposed as a fifth bedroom, subject to the purchaser’s requirements. This adds further flexibility to an already adaptable home.

.

The first floor is approached via a staircase with a quarter landing and turning staircase, leading to four bedrooms. The principal bedroom is double aspect and enjoys direct access to the rear garden via a decking area. It is conveniently positioned close to the additional shower room. There are three further bedrooms, comprising two doubles and a single, together with a generously proportioned family bathroom featuring an attractive inset bath.

External

Outside, electric gates open onto a block-paved driveway, providing parking for multiple vehicles and leading to the double garage, which is fitted with electric roller doors and has an adjoining workshop. The garages sit comfortably within the elevated landscaped grounds, offering excellent storage, parking and practical potential.

.

The rear and side gardens have been lovingly maintained by the current owner and provide a wonderful combination of privacy, established planting and opportunities for further personalisation. The grounds incorporate a variety of planting areas, split-level features and landscaped sections, whilst a separate garden area at the front of the property provides a useful additional outdoor space and could be particularly appealing to families with children.

.

Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property is conveniently located close to the popular area of Vogue, on the outskirts of St Day, where local amenities are readily accessible. This is a substantial and characterful home offering a rare combination of space, versatility, privacy and scope, set within attractive grounds in a highly desirable part of west Cornwall.

Location

The property enjoys an appealing rural setting within the Lower Ninnis area, combining the peace and space of the Cornish countryside with excellent accessibility to everyday amenities. The nearby village of St Day provides useful local facilities, including a general store, whilst the larger town of Redruth offers a broader range of shops, supermarkets, schooling and leisure facilities, together with a mainline railway station providing connections through Cornwall and onwards to London Paddington.

.

The location is particularly well placed for enjoying both Cornwall’s countryside and coastline. The spectacular north Cornish coast is within comfortable driving distance, with the sandy beaches and dramatic coastal scenery of Portreath and Porthtowan readily accessible. Portreath offers a sandy beach, historic harbour and access to the South West Coast Path, as well as excellent opportunities for surfing, swimming, walking and cycling.

.

For those travelling further afield, convenient access to the A30 provides excellent links east and west across the county, whilst Truro, Cornwall’s cathedral city, is also within easy reach and provides an extensive selection of shops, restaurants, schools and professional services. Altogether, the location offers an excellent balance of rural tranquillity, accessibility and proximity to some of Cornwall’s most attractive coastline.
