DESCRIPTION

Coombe House is a historic double fronted granite faced house believed to have been constructed in the late 1800’s under an attractive hipped slate roof. The building has evidently been extended over the year to now provide well proportioned family sized four bedroomed, two bath/shower roomed accommodation with a commensurate amount of reception space. Although there is a formal front door that would have been historically used, since the advent of the car one tends to park at the generous parking area to the rear and enter through a lobby. The lobby then continues through to a rear hall in an extended 3 Ref: LCAA8312 piece of the building with the impressive reception hall and staircase to the front. To either side at the front are well proportioned and high ceilinged reception rooms with large windows. In addition, a wing which wraps around the side and rear provides a semi open- plan kitchen and dining room which has extensive glazing on the east, south and west elevations filling this space with light. There is also a large utility room and shower room on the ground floor. Above the two large reception rooms are equally sized bedrooms with a further bedroom to the front in the centre being larger than one might expect and an additional bedroom and modern bath/shower room to the rear.

The house is initially approached via a right of way over a sweeping driveway which then leads to the house behind and off this drive a private driveway for Coombe House then leads into the grounds and to a large parking and turning area where there is certainly space to create garaging, subject to all necessary consents. The main garden is found to the side and is fenced as well as being lined with many interesting shrubs, small trees and other plants. There are views beyond this to the surrounding countryside and to one side of the garden is a smaller ‘room’ within the garden behind hedged topped low stone walls, where one will find a patio and garden shed. In addition, there are patios to the rear of the house and a further lawned garden to the front.

Coombe House offers space both inside and out being ideal for family living in a most convenient location. The proximity to the north Cornish coastline is particularly appealing with surfing beaches nearby at Porthtowan and Portreath. The coast road network also leads to St Agnes Beacon in one direction and the wonderful publicly accessible woodland at Tehidy Country Park in the other before continuing to Gwithian beach at . To 4 Ref: LCAA8312 have all of this on the doorstep yet also be convenient for the facilities in Redruth and have access to the A30 expressway within about 1½ miles, make this a particularly appealing home.

LOCATION

The property is a short drive away from Portreath, Illogan and Redruth with Redruth especially providing plentiful facilities including supermarkets, schooling and doctors surgeries as well as professional services. The A30 expressway means that is only about 20 minutes’ drive away, which is Cornwall’s capital city providing an even wider range of facilities, private schooling and the Royal Cornwall Hospital. The mainline railway station at Redruth is on the to London Paddington line with journey times to London being around 4½ hours.

There are many wonderful walks to be enjoyed locally including along the Bissoe Trail which links Portreath on the north coast to Devoran on the south coast with many spur roots off it. The Bissoe Trail also welcomes horse riders and cyclists and there is an excellent mountain bike track and hydrotherapy centre about 200 yards further down the main road. The South West Coast Path is also close by as is Tehidy Golf Club. The area is renowned for excellent surfing including at Portreath where there is also a small harbour and the equidistant Porthtowan. From this central location one can get to anywhere within the central and western part of Cornwall quickly including to the sailing facilities at Falmouth and Mylor in the south on the A393 and to destinations such as Penzance, and St Ives in the west.
