DESCRIPTION Lower Tregarne Barn represents a highly infrequent opportunity to acquire a very stylish family home of exemplary standard in a pleasant rural locality – not isolated and with neighbours, but within about ½ a mile of the highly desirable village of Mawnan Smith. The stylish conversion of the redundant barn was completed in February 2002 and has resulted in the creation of a beautifully presented family home which, whilst being attached to the neighbouring barn which was converted at the same time, enjoys a private and very peaceful feel. Of extremely attractive external appearance with exposed stone to the ground floor and rendered elevations to the first floor and with painted double glazed windows, the house features a combination of flagstone and solid oak planks, old pine doors and architraves, pine beams, a custom built oak staircase with part galleried landing, a bespoke handcrafted kitchen in sycamore with banded inlay and polished granite worktops together with slate sills and use of fossil stone flooring in the kitchen, dining room and garden room. The oil fired central heated accommodation is approached from the front, south west elevation with a door giving access to the entrance lobby. The inner hall is a major feature of Lower Tregarne Barn with the oak straircase and part galleried double volume landing. Doors open from the inner hall to a comfortable sitting room and the huge family breakfast 3 Ref: LCAA6815 kitchen with a wide opening leading to the dining room which again opens through bi-fold doors into the stunning garden room, both enjoying gorgeous views out over the garden to countryside beyond. A further door opens from the kitchen/breakfast room to the entrance lobby which provides access to the utility room and separate wc with a half glazed door leading to the separate second sitting room with stairs ascending to a fourth bedroom with en-suite bathroom. This area of the house could be divided to create a self-contained annexe, if so required. On the first floor and accessed from the large dual aspect landing there are three further bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom. The gardens are designed with ease of maintenance in mind with a large raised lawned area to the front and side of the driveway profusely stocked with a plethora of flowering trees, plants and shrubs. In addition, there is a full width slated sun terrace, a timber summerhouse, gated driveway parking and detached garaging with workshop at one end. We cannot overemphasise the infrequent availability of this type of property in such an important and desirable location and stress the need for early viewing by appointment through the vendor’s sole agent. Ideal as either a main home or a secure secondary residence. LOCATION The Helford River area requires little introduction as one of the foremost locations in the county – an area particularly favoured for sailing, with excellent facilities not only at Helford River Sailing Club, but also on the nearby Fal Estuary and Falmouth Bay. There is a golf course nearby at Budock Vean and another at Falmouth, all within easy driving distance of Lower Tregarne Barn. This unspoilt and picturesque rural area of South Cornwall is set between the beautiful rocky coastline of Falmouth Bay and the northern bank of the Helford River. There are inspiring cliff top walks and safe sandy beaches at Maenporth, Durgan, Swanpool and Falmouth. The much favoured village of Mawnan Smith (about ½ a mile away) offers a useful range of facilities catering for most day to day needs, and a regular bus service to the nearby town of Falmouth which offers a full range of shops, commercial and schooling facilities, two marinas, the Royal Yacht Club, Ships and Castles leisure complex and, of course, the National Maritime Museum. The cathedral city of Truro – the county’s main administrative centre – is approximately 13 miles away and has a mainline rail link to London Paddington (travel time about 4½ hours). The Helford River (about 2 miles) is an ideal place for keep either a yacht or a dinghy as, together with its creeks and inlets, it provides many opportunities for competitive and day sailing, leading out into Falmouth Bay and the well known River Fal and the Carrick Roads which comprises some of the best sailing waters in Europe. Communications are good with the A30 dual carriageway just north of Truro, allowing first access to the M5 motorway at Exeter. Newquay and Plymouth airports offer regular flights to London and Gatwick. 4 Ref: LCAA6815 THE ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES (all floor plans and dimensions are approximate) From the parking area, the driveway continues past the detached garaging and on to the front of the property with the raised lawned garden to the side and with a slated terrace running the full width of the property and ultimately leading to a half double glazed door providing access into the:- ENTRANCE LOBBY.
