For the First Time Ever Ref: LCAA7092 Offers in excess of £450,000 The Old Rectory, Church Lane, St Mellion, Saltash, East Cornwall FREEHOLD For sale upon the instructions of the Diocese of Truro – for the first time ever. A particularly handsome and gracious double fronted detached Grade II Listed former rectory with bow windows over two storeys, providing extensive well proportioned 4 bedroomed accommodation facing south across about 1 acre of lawned and long established treelined gardens. A home of great stature that is deserving of sensitive updating, in the heart of the village within walking distance of the primary school and St Mellion Golf Resort with leisure centre, spa, tennis courts and two restaurants. 2 Ref: LCAA7092 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: entrance lobby, long reception hall, drawing room, lounge, dining room, kitchen, rear hall, utility/wc. First Floor: landing with laundry area off. 4 double bedrooms, bathroom. Outside: generous driveway parking and turning space with access to the large garage. Extensive lawned gardens surrounding the house fringed with mature trees and wonderful shrubs. Cottage garden to the rear and more formal lawns to the front including a large plateau previously used as a tennis court. In all, about 1 acre. DESCRIPTION To be sold for the first time by the Diocese of Truro and the former Rectory to St Mellion (St Melanus’s) Church, this is a substantial and historic building evidently built to the highest of standards in its day. The building is splendid in appearance with a central front door between two storey and very wide bow windows which face south over the formal lawned gardens. Inside there are over 9’ high ceilings on the ground floor and features such as large fireplaces. The classically laid out accommodation has a long and broad hall running the full depth of the building with two impressive reception rooms to either side at the front benefiting from the huge windows. To the rear is a further large reception room to one side of the hall and to the other is the kitchen whilst off the rear hall is a utility/wc and cloaks area. The classic layout continues on the first floor where there are four double bedrooms of superb proportions and the landing also leads to a laundry area and the bathroom. 3 Ref: LCAA7092 For modern living it is likely that a new owner would wish to slightly alter the first floor configuration although this seems relatively simple, subject to all necessary consents and building control approvals. The house is in a perfectly liveable condition at present, but we fully expect most potential buyers to wish to update the decoration as well as changing the bathroom layout to create more bathrooms as well as fit a new kitchen. In addition to the main accommodation in the house there is also a large attached garage. Partially on the site of a further wing of the house which we are informed burnt down and therefore it may be possible to further extend the property, subject to all necessary consents. The grounds are superb and gently descend to the south and abut fields giving a pretty outlook beyond the extensive lower lawn. Around the house are various shrubs with taller trees along the boundaries and differing areas of the garden make it ideal for children to play or for those with plantsman knowledge to enjoy. Directly in front and below the house is a large level lawned plateau which is thought to have been a former tennis court and it is ideal for garden parties and children’s games. A favourable pre-application to Cornwall Council has suggested that an alternative and potentially better access could be created to the east side of the northern boundary. In total the grounds extend to about 1 acre. LOCATION St Mellion is an historic village with lovely old buildings set around the impressive church which has a primary school beside it. The area has been made famous by the Jack Nicklaus designed 18-hole golf course at the St Mellion international resort which also has a spa, leisure facilities, tennis court, a brasserie and restaurant. The nearby towns of Callington and Saltash both provide adequate day to day shops and facilities including a secondary school in Callington. 4 Ref: LCAA7092 Saltash has a mix of high street shops and a Waitrose supermarket. Saltash sits on the south bank of the River Tamar providing access to some excellent sailing and pleasure craft facilities in the safe day sailing waters of Plymouth Sound and the Tamar’s associated rivers and creeks. The property is just to the west of the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty ‘AONB’ and just to the east of the National Trust’s Cadsonbury. Also close by is the National Trust’s medieval Cotehele Estate. On the other side of the River Tamar is the city of Plymouth providing an extremely wide array of leisure, commercial and retail facilities that are within easy reach. There is a mainline station in the town of Saltash and in the town of Liskeard, to the south west, both of which provide a direct link to London Paddington with approximate travel time of 4½ hours. St Mellion is ideally located within easy reach of the A38 which provides a largely dual carriageway link all the way northwards to Exeter where it joins with the national motorway network. The south Cornish coast is a short drive away to the east providing access to the South West Coastal Footpath which connects beautiful sandy beaches with picturesque fishing villages such as Polperro and Looe which still has an active fishing fleet and where daily fishing trips can be booked from the harbour.

OUTSIDE 7 Ref: LCAA7092 Opposite the church an inwardly curving walled entrance with vehicular gate opens onto a driveway which leads into the grounds. To the rear of the house is a parking area with space for several cars and this also gives access to the garage and to the most commonly used rear entrance door. The driveway then continues around the side of the house where it has become mostly grassed over before arriving at the front of the property. There has previously been a favourable pre-application to Cornwall Council to bring in a driveway to the east of the northern boundary.

  • St Barnabas MAT Director Profiles
    St Barnabas MAT Director Profiles Mark Lees I am currently the Chair of St Barnabas CE MAT Board and have held this position since April 2019. It has been a privilege to work alongside our Heads of School and Sean Powers during this time, and to see how our schools are improving year on year. I have had a long career in teaching and have been headteacher of several primary schools in Cornwall. Last year, I worked as the Interim Director for Schools for the Diocese of Truro and more recently I am working as an acting CEO in a MAT in Falmouth. These roles have enabled me to support and challenge the MAT’s senior team. It is an exciting time at St Barnabas CE MAT and I look forward to my continued involvement. Andy Venter After seven and a half years at Oracle I’ve recently joined Microsoft, focussing on transformational IT projects (predominantly finance and HR) across local and regional government. I live in Truro with my wife, and I have three daughters. In my spare time I like to go for long county or beach walks, kayaking and keeping up with sport (especially rugby). Geoffrey Postles I became a MAT director in early 2019, and am now Chair of both the Resources and Remuneration Committees. I am also a governor of two C o f E VA primary schools in St. Mellion and St. Dominic where I chair their Resources Committee. Prior to this I stood as an independent candidate and was elected a local councillor for the parish of St Mellion.

  • Magazine of St. Germans & Deviock Parish
    November 2018 Volume 33 (8) Magazine of St. Germans & Deviock Parish Councils We currently seek some voluntary help with editing and distribution of Nut Tree. Any willing volunteers, please email [email protected] for more info. As usual please send any copy to [email protected] or post to ‘Tremaye’ Downderry by the 17th of the preceding month. Any enquiries, email or ring 250629. Nature Among our birds there is a fascinating overlap between summer and winter visitors at this time of year. One day in mid October I saw a few Swallows flying over the village on their way to Africa. The following day I noticed a Black Redstart, a winter visitor to our coast. I now look forward to the possibility of a Blackcap or a tiny Firecrest in the garden or wintering thrushes in hedgerows. The Blackcaps that stay for winter are not the same birds that breed in our woodlands. The latter have moved south whereas the newcomers are a separate population that will have bred further east on the continent. A series of mild winters has enabled the Blackcaps to survive here instead of flying south and they have passed on the habit to later generations. They will stay until March when they begin to sing and become aggressive towards other birds at feeders. This takes me on to a sad situation that I noticed in September. Trichomonosis is a deadly disease that affects the digestive system of some birds and I saw the symptoms among Goldfinches. They become lethargic, cannot feed successfully and soon starve.
