DESCRIPTION Quarry Cottage is believed to date from around 1900 and was originally two quarry workers cottages, owned by the Rashleigh Estate. The current owners have incorporated the two cottages into one spacious, detached four bedroom family house of generous proportions with three lovely reception rooms and in an extremely private position, tucked away off the Saints Way with immediate access to the coastal footpath and just a short stroll from the beautiful large sandy beach at Par with its notable sand dunes along the back of the beach behind which is a nature reserve and lake. 3 Ref: LCAA7325 This is the first time the property has appeared on the open market for some 36 years and is likely to be of particular interest both to families requiring a lovely spacious main residence immediately adjacent to the beautiful beach and coastal walks or indeed for anybody looking for a perfect holiday home on the coast with excellent letting potential. A tucked away private position with large gardens, off-road parking for two vehicles and an integral garage/workshop. The property is well presented throughout although some buyers may wish to change some things cosmetically to their own tastes such as carpets or decorations. The lovely accommodation has many endearing features with a lovely Rangemaster open fire in the sitting room a lovely big family/dining room with double glazed doors out onto a paved suntrap terrace with a feature purpose built bar in one corner. The kitchen breakfast room is an excellent space with extensive cupboards and an excellent range of integrated appliances. On the first floor is a large master bedroom which is part of an extension added by the current owners above the garage. This bedroom has a large balcony with views towards the sea and coastline. The family/dining room is also an extension added by the current owners. The first floor is completed by three further bedrooms, two of which are doubles, a lovely well fitted family bathroom and the master bedroom has an en-suite shower cubicle and wash hand basin facilities. 4 Ref: LCAA7325 The gardens surrounding the property are well arranged with a picturesque raised lawn surrounded by flowers and shrubs and a beautiful climbing rose covers a pergola over the path leading down to the front door. There is a lower level front terrace by the family room doors providing the perfect south facing suntrap for alfresco dining or sunbathing, protected by a high hedged front boundary providing excellent privacy. The rear garden, although sloping comprises a manageable lawn with inset fruit trees and from the upper levels are even better views towards the sea and coastline. The property enjoys good off-road parking with concrete hardstanding for two vehicles and room for campervans, trailers, boats etc. There is an integral garage/workshop and a large store to one side. LOCATION Quarry Cottages location is likely to be of appeal to many buyers as it enjoys a beautiful tucked away position off the Saints Way which eventually connects to the South West Coastal Footpath providing beautiful cliff top walks all the way around the Gribbin Headland and into Fowey. Secondary paths dropping down to delightfully isolated coves and rock plateaus, ideal for fishing. The section of footpath that runs along the approach road to Quarry Cottage is seldom used we understand, as most walkers tend to start the coastal footpath from the large car park at Par beach. Par Sands is a popular local attraction with a big sandy beach backed by sand dunes behind which is a nature reserve and lake frequented by a host of wild fowl and migrant birds. The beach and nature reserve are just a short walk from the property as is a local inn providing excellent beverages and food. The nearby village of Par has a good array of shops, providing adequately for day to day needs with two mini supermarkets, post office, local inns, hairdressers, two doctor’s surgeries and a playgroup. Following the coastal footpath along the Gribbin Headland or following the road from Par up towards Fowey, there is access to lovely beaches at Polkerris with Sam’s Restaurant and the Rashleigh Inn at the back of the beach making it a wonderful family day out. Polridmouth further along has to be walked to but is well worth the effort with two lovely beaches and a lake in a very pretty rural setting. Beyond Polridmouth is the deep natural harbour at Fowey with the pretty town providing an eclectic array of local shops and some national stores, excellent restaurants, local inns, two yacht clubs and a wealth of chandlery services. The nearest major town is St Austell to the east providing a wide array of leisure, commercial and retail facilities, out of town trading estates and supermarkets, several secondary and primary schools, a large leisure centre and a variety of sports clubs. St Austell also has a mainline station as does the local village of Par, both of which are on the mainline to Paddington with approximate travel time of 4½ hours. The road network from this area, to the rest of Cornwall and out of county, is excellent with the A390/A38 providing a swift route to the city of Plymouth in Devon, whilst the A30 is also easily accessible which provides a dual carriageway link further west into the county to both north and south coastal resorts and northwards provides a dual carriageway link all the way to the Exeter where it joins the national motorway network. Other local attractions include the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, and excellent 18- hole coastal golf course at Carlyon Bay with an inland 18-hole golf course at Lanhydrock. The beautiful rivers and creeks along the Fowey estuary hold many delightful walks or provide the perfect playground for messing around in boats. 5 Ref: LCAA7325 THE ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES (all floor plans and dimensions are approximate) Pitched roof covered entrance with outside courtesy light, part glazed panelled front door to:- ENTRANCE HALL.
