DESCRIPTION

• The availability of Blackcroft represents an incredibly exciting opportunity to acquire a unique country home in a stunning rural location, ‘well off the beaten track’ but still very accessible, convenient for Redruth, Falmouth and Truro.

• Originally a detached circa 1840’s granite cottage, the property has recently been refurbished, remodelled and significantly extended by the current owners to create a particularly stylish, well proportioned, beautifully appointed home displaying a level of specification that needs to be seen first hand to be fully appreciated.

• With over 2,200sq.ft. in total, the property has an excellent flow of accommodation with some cosy rooms sympathetic to the character of the original cottage, some contrasting open-plan rooms more contemporary in their nature, but complementing well to give the house a very individual but homely feel.

• Reception rooms include a fantastic conservatory with views over miles of undulating countryside below, a cosy dual aspect sitting room with woodburning stove leading into a formal dining room with space for ten seater table. There is a kitchen sized utility room and a downstairs study or occasional fourth bedroom with adjacent, well 3 Ref: LCAA8336 appointed shower room/wc. Completing the ground floor is a magnificent open-plan kitchen/breakfast room (21’ x 13’8”) with stylish contemporary grey and white high gloss units plus fantastic central island unit, space for a breakfast table and a lovely vista through a glazed door and picture window of the wooded copse beyond.

• On the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a very well appointed family bath/shower room. The master bedroom is a particularly generous double bedroom suite with a large en-suite shower room, a fantastic L-shaped dressing room and glazed double doors opening onto a covered west facing balcony with plate glass balustrade overlooking the surrounding countryside.

• The gardens and grounds extend to approximately ¼ of an acre with a large gravelled parking area for numerous vehicles set behind a gated entrance with granite gate piers. The gardens are easy to maintain, laid predominantly to lawn and abut the beautiful unspoilt countryside beyond enhancing the feeling of space the property enjoys. The property is approached off a council owned ‘mineral trail’ which is essentially a bridleway and carries virtually no passing traffic and as a result the property is an oasis of peace, tranquillity and seclusion with almost no noise or light pollution even through the property is still very accessible and convenient for some of the largest population centres in Cornwall.

• Blackcroft is to be sold with immediate vacant possession no onward chain. 4 Ref: LCAA8336

Blackcroft is located high on the hillside above the town of Redruth surrounded on all sides by fields but being surprisingly convenient, walkable to the village of Lanner with a shop and a pub and is located only about a mile away from the town of Redruth itself which has a good range of shops, restaurants, a multi screen cinema and a full range of professional services. There are supermarkets and retail estates on the outskirts of Redruth and state schooling is nearby. The ease of access to the rest of the county from the location is superb with various roads leading to Truro, Cornwall’s capital city which is about 20 minutes away. Truro has some of the widest range of facilities in Cornwall including many national high street retailers and three private schools as well as the county’s largest hospital. Redruth has a station on the main Penzance to London Paddington line and also stops at Truro. Other nearby roads lead to Camborne, Helston and the sailing town of Falmouth which is only 15 minutes’ drive away.

The area has many footpaths and bridleways leading over the high ground giving outstanding views towards both the north and south coasts. The coast to coast cycle path from Portreath to Devoran is also nearby and the area is very popular with horse riders, cyclists and walkers. To the north is Tehidy Country Park and wood as well as Tehidy Golf course. Most of the north Cornish coastline is owned by the National Trust with the South West Coast Path leading across rugged headlands before descending to generous sandy beaches such as the nearby Portreath and Porthtowan with its renowned Blue Bar directly above the cove. A further few miles to the west is Godrevy beach and lighthouse at the start of 4 miles of golden sands which stretch around to St Ives Bay offering perfect surfing, kitesurfing and windsurfing conditions.
