About this property

  • The property, we understand from the sellers, was originally built for and designed by Francis Kenneth Hicklin the celebrated county architect of the Grade II County Hall in Truro (built in 1961), and has the most stunning copper roof. The current owners bought the house in 1969 for their growing family and over the years have made improvements to create a flexible space for a modern or multi-generational family. All the work was carried out with thoughtful design and quality fittings.
    On the ground floor is the entrance lobby leading into the inner hall with access to the separate annex and into the main house. The annex can be accessed either from the rear kitchen door or off the main entrance and has a large reception/bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and doors to shower room and kitchen.

    On the ground floor of the main house is the open plan sitting/dining room with sliding doors out to the gardens and feature gas fire. This then leads through to the kitchen and breakfast room. The kitchen has a walk-in larder, a good range of solid wood kitchen units and work tops with integrated double oven and hob and space for dishwasher. The kitchen then leads through to the lovely breakfast room with vaulted ceiling and sliding doors out to the gardens. Off the kitchen is the utility with space for full size fridge, full size freezer and washing machine and door to wc/boot room/drying room with space for tumble dryer.
    On the first floor is the principal suite with dressing room, large bedroom overlooking the front garden and large bathroom with separate shower. There are a further four double bedrooms, three of which have built-in cupboards and lovely views overlooking the rear gardens along with a large family shower room.

    Exterior, gardens and outbuildings

    Both the front and rear sunny gardens of this property have been beautifully landscaped and lovingly tended over the last fifty years. It has been designed to provide all year interest with a large number of specimen trees, shrubberies, ponds, fruit garden and vegetable patch. There are a number of private spaces to relax and entertain before heading on down to the woodland. The woodland is any child's dream for nature and adventure. There is a separate entrance to the woodland off Old Coach Road with a limited right of way for maintenance of the woodland and the current owners also use this access to over-winter their boat.

    To the front of the property is the drive leading up to the double garage with space for three to four cars to the front and side of the garage. Beyond the drive at the front is a large azalea flower bed within which is the large workshop with power.

    The large potting/garden store with power and the summer house are both in the rear garden.
