TR1 2PE Tel: 01872 273473 Fax: 01872 273474 Email: [email protected] www.waterfrontandcountryhomes.com LOCATION Tailings is, without question, one of the most breathtaking coastal properties in this area of South Cornwall, enjoying magnificent sea and coastal views which are undoubtedly among the finest in South Cornwall. The house occupies an exceptional but discreet location, cut into the rocks above St Austell Bay. It is impeccably presented and finely appointed having been thoughtfully planned to maximise the views. The property is set off Polkirt Hill on the southern side of the village. Mevagissey, a working fishing village, offers a variety of pubs, restaurants and local shops catering for day to day shopping needs, whilst the town of St Austell, about 6½ miles to the north and the cathedral city of Truro (15 miles to the west), both offer a wider selection of shopping, business and commercial facilities, together with private and state schooling. An intercity rail link from St Austell reaches London Paddington in about 4 hours, whilst Newquay Airport offers regular flights to London Gatwick (flight time approximately 1 hour). The South West Coast Path provides immediate access to superb scenery along some of the prettiest sections of Cornwall’s coastline. There are sailing clubs at Porthpean, Pentewan and Fowey – the latter being a particularly interesting and historic town with deep and natural harbour suitable for larger sailing craft. A passenger ferry operates between Mevagissey and Fowey when the weather permits. Communications with this particular part of Cornwall have been improved over the years with the A30 being mainly dual carriageway to the junction with the M5 at Exeter. THE PROPERTY Tailings occupies a quite exceptional setting within the cliffs, commanding magical far reaching sea and coastal views. The house is, without question, a beautiful and wonderfully positioned family home which Chris Hendra, a highly regarded Cornish architect designed. The house was constructed in 2001 to an exceptionally high standard with a three-storey round house with white painted rendered elevations and a pitched slate-roofed wing adjoining the main hallway.
