In all, about ⅔ of an acre. 3 Ref: LCAA4846 DESCRIPTION Ridgewood was built in 2001 on a prime site at the head of about ⅔ of an acre of lawned gardens stretching down to a broad deep water frontage to the Carrick Roads. This deceptive property may appear to be a bungalow from the no- through lane that runs along the ridge of Restronguet Point, but is actually a 3,500sq.ft. two storey house with five bedrooms, three bath or shower rooms, five reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast room and an integral double garage along with other ancillary rooms and a 34’ wide balcony facing the views. Its modern, light and spacious accommodation has a reverse level arrangement in the most part. Inside the front door, the reception hall is galleried over a staircase which descends to the lower ground floor and has an internal hall to the water facing master bedroom with its en-suite bathroom and two further double bedrooms, one of which is also en-suite. Both the living room and dining room are to the rear of the house and have huge glazed sliding doors that open onto the balcony. To the rear of the dining room, glazed doors open into the large kitchen breakfast room allowing the views to be seen throughout the living accommodation. Beyond the kitchen is a laundry which opens into the double garage. The lower ground floor rooms are all set off a huge hall with a 21’7” x 19’9” garden room in the centre at the rear from where there are views over the garden to the Carrick Roads through a 14’8” wide set of sliding patio doors that open onto a partially sunken and well sheltered terrace. The fourth and the fifth large double bedrooms also face the water and they share a shower room on this floor. The two final rooms could be used as overflow bedroom accommodation as they have high level windows. One of the rooms is ideally suited to being a study whilst the other is particularly large and would be ideal as a gym or children’s playroom. 4 Ref: LCAA4846 The house is set back behind a grass verge and stone wall which is topped by a thick hedge giving privacy. A broad entrance leads to the brick paved drive with ample turning and parking space in front of the integral double garage. Almost the entirety of the garden is on the south easterly facing rear of the house with sculptured lawns, pathways, specimen palms and planted borders giving a useable and attractive outside space close to the house. After the initial area of the garden a path continues and sweeps down sloping large lawns with a few handsome mature trees before arriving at a sunken boat shed, designed to disappear into the landscape. The boat shed will easily take small craft and a huge amount of sailing and water sports gear. Double doors open from the boat shed into a large boat dock which has overwintering space for a yacht up to about 45’ in length. A powered winch sits at the head of the boat dock and aids launching and recovery down the long, gently sloping slipway which extends over the initial rocky foreshore to more sandy areas exposed at low tide. In addition to these ‘Oh so rare’ facilities, our clients have been able to lay deep water moorings in front of the house by arrangement through Truro Harbourmaster. LOCATION Restronquet Point has long been regarded as one of the most exclusive waterside locations in Cornwall – with ample justification. This slender, beautiful peninsula is magnificently positioned between the Fal Estuary and Restronguet Creek and is accessed by a no-through lane leading to some of Cornwall’s most prestigious residences. Ridgewood occupies one of the most outstanding positions on the south eastern side of Restronguet Point taking in panoramic views over the Carrick Roads to the National Trust owned shoreline of the Roseland Peninsula which frames year round boating activity on some of Britain’s finest sailing waters. From the grounds the outlook takes in Mylor Yacht Harbour, Messack Point at the entrance to St Just harbour, Loe Beach and in the distance, St Anthony Lighthouse and Falmouth Bay. The Carrick Roads are quite rightly regarded as some of the finest sailing waters in the United Kingdom with many creeks, inlets, beaches and waterside villages to explore. There are marina facilities available at Falmouth and Mylor, which are on the opposite side of the Carrick Roads to the exclusive waterside haven of St Mawes. Within day sailing distance is the historic River Fowey flanked by Fowey and Polruan and, to the west, is the beautiful Helford River immortalised by the words of Daphne du Maurier. The many sailing clubs around the Carrick Roads hold regattas throughout the season with Falmouth Week being the jewel in the calendar’s crown, drawing in yachts from across the world. The Royal Cornwall Yacht Club in Falmouth often hosts world class events including a J-Class regatta to celebrate the 2012 Olympics – the first time that these historic thoroughbreds 5 Ref: LCAA4846 had been seen in the waters of the United Kingdom since 1937. One of Britain’s most successful ever Olympians, Ben Ainslie, learnt to sail on the waters in front of Ridgewood as he grew up on the opposite side of Restronguet Creek. Restronguet Point lies in the parish of Feock, one of Cornwall’s most eagerly sought after addresses and is about 7 miles from Falmouth and only 5 from Truro. Truro, Cornwall’s capital city, has the widest range of facilities in Cornwall including supermarkets, excellent business opportunities, first class shopping, a wide range of highly regarded restaurants and bars, a cinema, a theatre and exceptional state and private schooling. Truro is also an historic and attractive city with a mix of Georgian and Victorian properties lining its cobbled streets. There is a mainline railway station at Truro with direct links to London Paddington taking around 4½ hours, while road access is excellent to the A30 expressway which links to the motorway network at Exeter. Newquay Airport, at St Mawgan, offers regular flights to both London and other internal and international destinations. 6 Ref: LCAA4846 THE ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES (all floor plans and dimensions are approximate) From the driveway a panelled wood door with obscured glazed screens to either side opens into:- RECEPTION HALL – 26’7” x 12’8” max L-shaped.
