DESCRIPTION Bowithick is a handsome and intriguing house designed in a horseshoe shape to provide dual aspects to almost every room allowing them to be filled with light and to take in the outlook over the property’s own ¼ of an acre of gardens. The house was constructed only about 9 years ago by skilfully designed extension of what is thought to have been a former coach house with granite and stone elevations originally within part of the grounds of the neighbouring Regency residence. The build was carried out to a very high standard for our clients who specified solar water pre-heating, underfloor heating to the oak and slate floors on the ground floor, a bespoke Out of Wood kitchen and a fantastic split level light oak and glass staircase. 3 Ref: LCAA6910 From the deeply planted courtyard to the front an initial entrance hall opens into the main reception hall with a cloakroom off and doors into the family or TV room, the very large utility room and its adjacent boiler room and into the lounge with glazing surrounding the door. The lounge and kitchen/dining room are semi open-plan to each other with the original exterior of the coach house showing on the walls of the lounge itself. Two sets of double doors open into the garden from the lounge and there is also fitted shelving, a media area and a contemporary gas fire. The broad opening between this room and the kitchen/dining room adds to the light and airy feel with the kitchen/dining room then having a change to slate flooring from wood, numerous windows including a full height window overlooking the front courtyard and a pair of glazed doors out to a south facing sheltered courtyard ideal for alfresco dining. The kitchen area is solid oak fronted by Out of Wood under granite and oak worktops with various integrated appliances. The extensive accommodation continues on the first floor with doors off the split level and very light landing opening into the four double bedrooms. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room as does the guest bedroom whilst the other two bedrooms flank a family bathroom with all of these fitted with Duravit sanitaryware. In addition, there is a study or fifth single bedroom on this floor. The grounds are one of the most incredible things about Bowithick and they are approached over a gated entrance through a stone walled frontage with plentiful parking and a double carport inside. Deep planted beds and steps descend to the front courtyard and entrance to the house and there is a further courtyard outside of the kitchen and wide terrace across the rear which overlooks the lawn. The majority of the grounds are as one large lawn fringed with trees and deep mature planting with a centre piece of a long rectangular pond acting as a visual link between the house and the summerhouse at the end of the garden. In total there is about ¼ of an acre and it is incredible to think this is only a couple of hundred yards from the seafront. 4 Ref: LCAA6910 LOCATION Historically Laregan Hill would have been midway between Penzance and Newlyn and it is here that prominent members of the society built large and impressive houses. At the bottom of the road are Bolitho Gardens and the promenade which leads along the seafront from Newlyn to the Jubilee Bathing Pool. The Newlyn Art Gallery is also just a short walk away as are both of the towns facilities. Penzance is considered the capital of West Cornwall and is at the end of the Penzance to Paddington main railway line with direct trains to London. The town has a rich seafaring heritage and its centre abounds with period buildings which now house a wide array of high street names and more specialised retailers. The area is also famous for its arts and there are many galleries in Penzance and neighbouring Newlyn which also has a large and colourful fishing fleet. Within Penzance there are many hotels, restaurants, cafés, museums, both private and state education and a hospital. West Cornwall is known for its rugged beauty and is surrounded by the South West Coast Path which leads over dramatic cliff tops to sheltered coves and larger sandy beaches. Just to the east of Penzance is the village of Marazion and St Michael’s Mount which can be accessed by foot across a causeway at low tide. There are many other sandy beaches including Perran Sands to the east, whilst to the far west is Sennen Cove and Whitesand Bay near Land’s End, a 2 mile long stretch of beautiful white sands beside a picturesque harbourside village that is renowned for surfing. To the south is Mousehole which attracts people from all over Europe to see its harbourside lights at Christmas and about 20 minutes’ drive to the north is the resort and surfing town of St Ives which is considered to have the best light for painting in Britain as it reflects off the waters of the 4 mile wide St Ives Bay. 5 Ref: LCAA6910 THE ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES (all floor plans and dimensions are approximate) A flight of steps descends from the parking area to the front courtyard from where a painted front door opens to:- ENTRANCE HALL.
