Truro, Cornwall, TR2 4PW FREEHOLD A grandly proportioned and extensive 5 bedroomed, 4 bathroomed south facing period house extending to almost 3,500sq.ft. – a significant portion of a grand country house within a few miles of Truro. An opportunity to live in one of the area’s most impressive historic residences enjoying the high ceilinged, detail filled accommodation with integral garage, carport and long south facing garden looking out across countryside. 2 Ref: LCAA7916 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: reception hall, dining room, drawing room, kitchen, sitting room, utility room, bathroom, integral garage, basement. First Floor: landing, master bedroom with balcony and en-suite shower room. 2 further bedrooms, shower room. Second Floor: landing, 2 double bedrooms (1 with former kitchenette off), bathroom. Outside: long south facing garden with large terrace, deck, summerhouse, shed and deep shrub lined boundaries. Broad carport to the front opening to the garage. DESCRIPTION Owls House is the central portion of one of the grandest houses in Cornwall and certainly within such close proximity to Truro. The non-listed building is believed to have been started in the late 1870’s by the Rector Stanford Raffles Flint (with family connection to Raffles Hotel, named after the founder of Singapore), who went on to become Archdeacon and a Canon of Truro Cathedral. As his family grew the house was increased in size significantly but always in keeping with the original to give a harmonious many gabled appearance over three storeys with outstanding chimneys and architectural details such as stone balustraded balconies and patterned stone detailing to the exterior. 3 Ref: LCAA7916 During the First World War injured prisoners of war were treated at the house and in the Second World War it housed higher ranking American soldiers with troops camping in the surrounding fields. It is even thought that the original kitchen was dismantled and used for firewood! Between the wars the house was at the centre of village life and almost certainly would have been before as well. Photographs in the house depict huge village parties on the lawns including hundreds of people at trestle tables and dancing around a maypole. During the 1950’s the house was divided into three and named after the three books authored by the then owner’s son. Owls House was a book about a family of owls who lived in the attic during the 1940’s and apparently scared the soldiers who patrolled the grounds at the time. A more recent owner was Penny MacBeth, a renowned ceramics artist, who created the spectacular mosaic wall art in the dining room and ground floor bathroom which has to be seen to be appreciated and is now considered part of the history of the house by our clients. The accommodation extends to just under 3,500sq.ft. but feels all the more voluminous due to the very high ceilings over each of the three floors. The most impressive room in the house would stand out in any home as the drawing room has beautiful proportions, display and recessed alcoves and a woodburning stove set into a lovely fireplace. Extensive glazing on the south elevation in a bay includes double glazed bi-fold doors added in 2014 which open out onto the terrace and garden. In the centre of the house is the dining room with a vast ceiling height stretching up to a double glazed roof which was fitted in 2013. Beside the dining room is a dated kitchen therefore giving a new owner the option to adjust the layout as they see fit. The kitchen is open-plan to a sitting room with an open fireplace and beyond this is a large utility 4 Ref: LCAA7916 room. It would seem possible to open all of these rooms up together if desirable to a new owner creating a space of 36’ overall. The ground floor is completed by the initial reception hall which itself has great interest and the spectacular and large bathroom. A door from the hall opens to the high ceilinged and large integral garage which currently is used for storage and to house the oil fired boiler and tank although it too has enormous potential as further accommodation. The first floor landing and one the bedrooms share half each of a huge ornate arched window. This bedroom and another share a recently updated shower room whilst the master bedroom resides above the drawing room facing south over the garden to countryside beyond and opens onto a balcony. The master bedroom has its own large modern en-suite shower room. The second floor is very impressive, still with high ceilings and a generous landing off which are two further double bedrooms and a bathroom. One of the bedrooms has an oriel window facing south whilst the other has a former kitchenette off it with many potential uses. To the front is a long driveway owned by the neighbouring property, over which a right of way is given to a wide carport at the front of the house through which access is gained to the garage. Facing south to the rear is a large terrace outside of the drawing room with wonderful wide steps with a granite handrail descending to the long lawn below which has many mature trees and shrubs lining its sides. The more ornamental nature of the garden opens out beyond hedging to a larger lawn ideal for children to play and this extends up to the neighbouring parkland like countryside. Unusual homes of this nature are so extremely rare in Cornwall and we strongly recommend viewing to appreciate the magnificent spaces found in a home such as this. 5 Ref: LCAA7916 LOCATION Owls House is located in the village of Ladock which is set in an attractive valley of open farmland and woodland beside the Tresillian River. Ladock provides an excellent local inn and a very useful shop/post office in the centre with major retail, leisure and commercial facilities found in Cornwall’s capital city Truro, which is just 15 minutes’ drive away. Owls House offers the benefits of rural life but with all the perks of a city centre just a short drive away. Waitrose supermarket is on the east side of Truro as is a park and ride scheme into the centre of the city. Truro has a main railway station which provides a direct link to London Paddington (approximate travel time 4½ hours). There are nearby primary schools in Ladock and Probus, which has further facilities and secondary schooling either at Tregony or Truro where there is also a college. Within easy driving distance to the south are beaches around the Roseland Peninsula and sailing facilities around both sides of the Carrick Roads including at St Mawes and Mylor. A short drive to the north are the surfing beaches around Newquay and it is only about half an hours’ drive to Padstow. Ladock is an extremely convenient and central location with easy access throughout Cornwall via the A30 expressway which is a few miles to the north linking Land’s End to the motorway network at Exeter and only a couple of miles to the south is the A390 which runs along the south coast of Cornwall before joining the A38 and leading to Plymouth. Cornwall Airport Newquay is about 20 minutes’ drive away to the north and provides plentiful flights to Heathrow as well as many other internal and international destinations. THE ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES (all floor plans and dimensions are approximate) COVERED ENTRANCE / CARPORT – 22’2” x 13’. Monopitched roof structure and open front, exposed stone surrounding walls with a beautiful circular window into the utility room.

  • Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management
    Appendix A - Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has overall responsibility for flood risk management in England. Their aim is to reduce flood risk by: • discouraging inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding. • encouraging adequate and cost effective flood warning systems. • encouraging adequate technically, environmentally and economically sound and sustainable flood defence measures. The Government’s Foresight Programme has recently produced a report called Future Flooding, which warns that the risk of flooding will increase between 2 and 20 times over the next 75 years. The report produced by the Office of Science and Technology has a long-term vision for the future (2030 – 2100), helping to make sure that effective strategies are developed now. Sir David King, the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government concluded: “continuing with existing policies is not an option – in virtually every scenario considered (for climate change), the risks grow to unacceptable levels. Secondly, the risk needs to be tackled across a broad front. However, this is unlikely to be sufficient in itself. Hard choices need to be taken – we must either invest in more sustainable approaches to flood and coastal management or learn to live with increasing flooding”. In response to this, Defra is leading the development of a new strategy for flood and coastal erosion for the next 20 years. This programme, called “Making Space for Water” will help define and set the agenda for the Government’s future strategic approach to flood risk. Within this strategy there will be an overall approach to the assessing options through a strong and continuing commitment to CFMPs and SMPs within a broader planning framework which will include River Basin Management Plans prepared under the Water Framework Directive and Integrated Coastal Zone Management.

  • Study 4978 Cornwall Online Census Project, 1891
    Study 4978 Cornwall OnLine Census Project, 1891 This document was supplied by the depositor and has been modified by AHDS History Introduction THIS STUDY contains our [Cornwall Online Census Project] transcript of the 1891 census returns for Cornwall. It has been transcribed, checked and validated by the volunteers of the Cornwall Online Census Project, the Cornish arm of the Free Census project. The original records are held by The National Archives and this transcription is done with their permission. Image copies of the original returns can be viewed on film, fiche or CDROM from commercial suppliers and at many research facilities around the world. This study contains a full transcription of the 1891 census returns for Cornwall—a snapshot of the people and places of Cornwall on the night of April 5th, 1891. The file names are the PRO piece number code (without punctuation). About UK Census Returns About Free Census (FreeCEN) was started early in 2000 with a pilot project for the 1891 census returns for Devon. The aim of Free Census is to transcribe all the UK 19th century census returns. It is part of FreeUKGEN and is a sister project to FreeBMD and FreeREG. The intention is that all three of the UK primary sources for the family historian will be online and “free to view.” Six months after the Devon project started, the Cornwall 1891 commenced. Most English and Welsh counties are now covered for the 1891, with the Scottish projects concentrating on the 1841. There are several English 1861 projects, using commercially produced discs and two English 1841 projects, including Cornwall.
