Ref: LCAA4846 £1,850,000 Ref: LCAA4846 £1,850,000 Ridgewood, Restronguet Point, Feock, Truro, South Cornwall FREEHOLD In a most favoured position along the deep water fronting side of a coveted residential no-through road, with direct waterfrontage, slipway and boat dock; a modern 3,500sq.ft. detached 5 bedroomed marine residence with landscaped gardens of about ⅔ of an acre. Enjoying fabulous elevated views over the Carrick Roads (Fal Estuary) to the protected countryside of the Roseland Peninsula, an excellent family home in a magnificent location close to Truro with the opportunity to lay deep water moorings in front, subject to licence from the harbourmaster. 2 Ref: LCAA4846 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: Reception hall, kitchen/breakfast room, laundry, dining room, living room, broad balcony, master bedroom en-suite, 2 further double bedrooms (1 en-suite), wc. Lower Ground Floor: Huge hall, 21’7” x 19’9” garden room, 2 double bedrooms, shower room, study/hobbies room, playroom/gym. Outside: driveway and parking, integral double garage. The gardens to the rear face the Carrick Roads and comprise landscaped lawned garden with beautiful beds and specimen plants surrounding a patio. Sloping lawns with a pathway and elegant mature trees descending to the foreshore, boat shed, boat dock with winch, long slipway. Deep water moorings by arrangement. 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. A large reception hall lit by the glazed screens beside the door and a Velux roof window, turning wood staircase with galleried banisters over, wall lights, two radiators, coving, architraves, plentiful space for furniture, recess with coat hooks.

The Society is particularly glad to welcome a number of young recruits, who are contributing keen observations. We deeply regret the loss by death of six members. Miss D.

  • MA11 Policy Development Zone: PDZ5
    Location reference: Lower Fal Management Area reference: MA11 Policy Development Zone: PDZ5 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly SMP2 Final Report Chapter 4 PDZ5 7 February 2011 DISCUSSION AND DETAILED POLICY DEVELOPMENT The preferred plan for the Lower Fal aims to balance the provision of support to the core settlements of Falmouth, Penryn, St Mawes, St Just, Flushing, Restronguet and Mylor (in line with the high-level SMP objectives) with a management approach which does not adversely impact on the undeveloped parts of the lower estuary and importantly takes account of any potential impacts on the Fal & Helford SAC. It is important to note that there is a legal requirement to not adversely affect the integrity of the SAC; through impacts such as the loss of intertidal feeding areas by not allowing the high water mark to move inland due to climate change. This, of course, requires a number of different policy options to be employed at different locations. From a high level view-point, it can be seen that across the whole Management Area (and indeed across the entire estuary system) there will be a trend toward a reduction in intertidal area due to sea level rise. Wherever the landward movement of MHWS is constrained by the rising topography or defences, reduction in intertidal area may occur. It is likely that a net overall reduction in intertidal area may occur toward the latter part of the SMP timeframe when considering sea level rise in isolation. However the picture is actually much more complex than this – erosion, accretion, sedimentation, changes in the tidal prism, increases in rainfall and fluvial flow will also affect the current pattern of intertidal exposure.

  • Late- to Post-Variscan Structures on the Coast Between Penzance And
    Read at the Annual Conference of the Ussher Society, January 1996 LATE- TO POST-VARISCAN STRUCTURES ON THE COAST BETWEEN PENZANCE AND PENTEWAN, SOUTH CORNWALL A.C. ALEXANDER AND R.K. SHALL Alexander, A.C. and Shail, R.K. 1996. Late- to post-Variscan structures on the coast between Penzance and Pentewan, south Cornwall. Proceedings of the Ussher Society, 9, 072-078. The occurrence of two generations (D1/D2) of folds and cleavage, compatible with a top to the north-north-west sense of shear during Variscan convergence is confirmed. A subsequent change in the stress regime (σ 1 ≈ vertical, σ3 ≈ north-north-west-south-south-east) brought about the extensional reactivation of convergence-related features. The resultant D3 structures are diverse and include zones of distributed shear within the footwall of the Carrick Thrust, together with detachments and high angle brittle extensional faults within the hangingwall. D3 deformation probably initiated during the Stephanian, prior to lamprophyre intrusion, but persisted into the early Permian and was partially synchronous with granite emplacement and high temperature mineralization. Changes in the stress regime during the Permian (σ 1 ≈ east-north-east-west-south-west, σ3 ≈ north-north-west-south-south-east to σ 1 ≈ north-north-west-southsouth-east, σ3 ≈ east-north-east-west- south-west) resulted in strike-slip faulting and the formation of steeply dipping cleavages. Triassic rift-related extension is also recognised (σ 1 ≈ vertical, σ3 ≈ east-north-east-west-south-west). Low temperature base metal mineralization was in part synchronous with Permian and Triassic faulting. This study demonstrates that the Variscan basement in south Cornwall preserves a valuable record of the late Palaeozoic to Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the region.
