In more recent times the property has been further extended and dramatically improved to now provide extensive (about 4,500sq.ft. in total) accommodation with four exceptional bedroom suites all with bath/shower rooms and some with dressing rooms and balconies. Recent updates have included some reorganisation of the interior spaces, completely refitting the high quality bathrooms, a new kitchen and the creation of a raised decked terrace to make the most of the views. The long established and very private grounds extend to about 1.2 acres and include everything from open sweeping lawns edged with magnificent beds and many mature specimen trees to a pond with a seating area beside and a walled slate courtyard. The garden descends to about 220ft. of frontage to the deep waterside of Restronguet Point. A slipway extends into the Carrick Roads providing unsurpassed simple access to these beautiful, easily navigable and sheltered waters. There are very few houses in Cornwall that can compare with Carrick Court, its accommodation, long established grounds, waterfrontage and precise location being only about 4 miles from Truro. LOCATION Restronquet Point has long been regarded as one of the most exclusive waterside locations in Cornwall – with ample justification.

  • Amanda Hoskin
    amanda hoskin www.beside-the-wave.co.uk 10 Arwenack Street, Falmouth, Cornwall TR11 3JA +44 (0)1326 211132 [email protected] Tide Coming In, Swanpool Beach 310mm x 385mm, oil on paper, £800 amanda hoskin “homecoming” Whether walking through the landscape or sailing Cornwall’s coastline, journeys are a predominant theme in Amanda’s work. In this exhibition Amanda’s journey is somewhat more reflective, taking us back to the area where she began her career as an artist. In the 1990’s, Amanda was on the water daily, sharing her time between a love for boats and her compulsion to draw and paint. As demand for these first seascapes steadily grew, Amanda devoted herself fulltime to painting in 2000. She has since journeyed the whole of Cornwall’s coast path, absorbing herself in all weathers and terrains. Known also for her romantic impressions of Venice and Bath she has established a reputation across the UK and into America and demand for her finely executed oils remains at an all time high. Returning to paint Carrick Roads has conjured an evocative sense of the past, and in turn the work has a contemplative, almost wistful quality. The light is gentle and the palette is subdued; in the Truro series the meditative atmosphere is particularly resonant. Amanda recognises the pensive nature of the work. She says: ‘The paintings of Truro are the first of this Carrick Roads collection. They have started quietly, peacefully - a reflection not only of the light at the time but also of how I am feeling.’ These are the first paintings Amanda has produced since an illness last year kept her out of the studio for three months.

  • 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.
