Ref: LCAA7480 Offers in excess of £700,000 Boswellin, Harcourt, Feock, Truro, South Cornwall, TR3 6SQ FREEHOLD Located in the heart of one of Cornwall’s most exclusive addresses enjoying a bright south westerly aspect with views over the everchanging sailing waters of Restronguet Creek; an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a detached 1970’s bungalow in an incredible ½ an acre garden plot ripe for extension/redevelopment (subject to gaining necessary consents). 2 Ref: LCAA7480 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Entrance porch, sitting room (21’7” x 15’6”), inner hall, kitchen, conservatory. Master bedroom with walk-in dressing room and en-suite shower room, second double bedroom. Family bathroom. Outside: tandem garage and workshop plus wc and store. Driveway and parking for 3-4 cars, rear paved sun terrace with very long gently sloping south west facing rear gardens bounded by mature shrub and tree borders. DESCRIPTION • The availability of Boswellin represents an incredibly exciting opportunity to acquire one of the last remaining properties in this exclusive location which offers massive scope for extension/redevelopment of the original dwelling (subject to gaining any necessary consents). • Harcourt together with Restronguet Point has long been regarded as one of the most desirable locations in Cornwall. The enviable location is close to the tidal Restronguet Creek and on the south and east side of this slim peninsula the deep water sailing waters of the Carrick Roads/Fal Estuary which offer arguably the best day sailing waters in the country. • Boswellin was constructed, we understand, in the 1970’s and is a spacious 2 double bedroomed bungalow which with its garaging currently has a footprint of almost 1,500sq.ft. The property offers massive scope for significant improvement, extension, loft conversion, and even total redevelopment with a replacement dwelling, such is the quality of the location (subject of course to gaining necessary consents), indeed there is significant precedent in the local environs where some of the most impressive new build properties in the county have been created in recent years. • The property occupies a particularly generous rectangular garden plot of approximately ½ an acre which slopes gently away from the property to the rear enjoying an enviable bright south westerly aspect. 3 Ref: LCAA7480 • The property enjoys views over its mature gardens towards the everchanging sailing waters of the Restronguet Creek below and with only five trees close to the side boundary with the lane on the plot with TPO’s (Tree Preservation Orders) there is the opportunity to significantly improve the views of the creek which would be even more impressive from a first floor level. For details of the TPO’s contact Lillicrap Chilcott. • The property is accessed towards the end of a quiet no-through lane which culminates in an easily accessible driveway with parking for 3-4 cars. As a result, there is virtually no passing traffic and the house and garden enjoy total peace and tranquillity. An unrivalled opportunity to acquire an incredibly situated dwelling in a ½ an acre garden plot offering huge scope for improvement in one of Cornwall’s very best residential locations. Indeed, Boswellin represents what may be one of the very last opportunities of this kind in the locality and therefore buyers are urged to view without delay to avoid disappointment. LOCATION Harcourt sits at the entrance of Restronguet Point, one of the most desirable roads in the South West of England. Loe Beach is within walking distance of Boswellin and has mooring and boat launching facilities, a dingy park, sailing school and watersports hire business along with a café. There are beautiful walks around the area with a footpath leading from Harcourt to the creekside hamlet of Trolver Croft nearby and the National Trust owned Trelissick Estate is just a little over 1 mile away. Truro is around a 10 minute drive and is the capital city of Cornwall, having many boutique shops and national retailers amongst its beautiful Georgian and Victorian streets. Truro also 4 Ref: LCAA7480 has a main hospital for the county, plus both private and state schooling and a railway station on the Penzance to Paddington line. There are further sailing facilities at Mylor Churchtown with its marina and restaurants and Restronguet Sailing Club also at Mylor is regarded as one of the finest dinghy racing clubs in the country having nurtured the young Sir Ben Ainsley who grew up nearby. There are more extensive facilities at Falmouth, around 10 miles drive to the south and the beautiful, safe sailing waters of the Carrick Roads are perfect for learning to sail and also racing with many clubs holding regattas throughout the summer.
