DESCRIPTION Goonvrea Barton is a deeply impressive modern country house that is perfectly positioned on the fringe of St Agnes. This recently constructed home feels as if it is in open rural 3 Ref: LCAA7411 countryside with broad views to the south west over its own two fields towards St Agnes Beacon and Carn Brea in the distance. All of this however is simply only a 5 minute walk away from the heart of the village where there are an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, inns and cafés. The style of the house is of a modern farmhouse with mixed materials including slate and stonework with a zinc roof over the dining room which has near 30’ wide bespoke bi-fold doors opening from it to the garden. The same joiners also created bespoke arch topped and very broad French doors that open from the kitchen/breakfast room to the garden and also from the master bedroom onto a glass fronted Juliet balcony. A substantial brick chimney makes a feature over the slate hung first floor wing with the Cornish emblem of 15 bezants displayed in darker slate below. The main approach is from the rear where there is a slate roofed and oak columned porch which opens into a very long reception hall with a broad opening to the end into the kitchen and two openings to the lounge. The reception hall has heated oak flooring which continues through to the kitchen/breakfast room, dining room and utility room. The principal 4 Ref: LCAA7411 accommodation is semi open-plan with extremely voluminous rooms. The lounge and dining room are divided by three high and broad archways with the two rooms together extending to over 30’ in both directions and this space opens to the garden through the bi-fold doors. The very contemporary kitchen/breakfast room is also large with extensive integrated appliances, granite worktops and the broad French doors to the garden. Also off the hall is another well proportioned reception room that could also be considered a ground floor fifth double bedroom as it is adjacent to a shower room. The utility room is fitted to the same high standards as the kitchen including granite worktops and a door from here opens to the side of the house. The L-shaped first floor landing is partly galleried over the oak and glass staircase with a matching balustrade. Doors open to the four double bedrooms, family bath/shower room and a walk-in airing cupboard housing the pressurised hot water system and clever shelving, the end of which acts as a staircase up to a loft hatch. The principal bedroom is quite superb under a high vaulted ceiling with thick central timber, broad glazed doors to a Juliet balcony and behind the bedhead is a concealed walk-in wardrobe. This room also has a stunning 5 Ref: LCAA7411 en-suite bath/shower room and the second largest bedroom also has an en-suite shower room whilst the other two share the large family bath/shower room between them. The grounds of Goonvrea Barton are equally as important with hard landscaping around the house providing extensive parking and turning space as well as a blank canvas for planting and further landscaping although there is currently a generous patio to the front. A wonderful long driveway sweeps across the property’s two relatively level fields before arriving at the house making for a particularly dramatic approach and there is a further gated vehicular entrance to the rear opening onto a lane leading to St Agnes Beacon. The two fields are edged with mature boundaries providing exceptional privacy and to one side is a detached garage/workshop. This versatile large home is ideally positioned for St Agnes, St Agnes Beacon, Chapel Porth surfing beach and also commuting to children’s schooling and jobs in Truro. LOCATION The area is famed for its rugged beauty with towering cliffs, secret coves and long sandy beaches such as the one at Chapel Porth which is within walking distance. The coastline is popular with local surfers and walkers alike who can enjoy the South West Coast Path. The town of St Agnes tumbles down the hillside towards Trevaunance Cove, with a mix of Victorian and Georgian stone properties. St Agnes has a thriving community of local people and would never be considered a tourist town. Facilities close at hand include various inns and restaurants, several general stores, a bakery, fishmongers, hotel, dentist, doctors and many other services. 6 Ref: LCAA7411 One of the main draws to St Agnes is that it is the nearest piece of north Cornish coastline to the cathedral city of Truro which is only around 15 minutes’ drive away. Truro is Cornwall’s retail, commercial and administrative centre and has an enviable reputation for excellent schooling, restaurants, recreational and sporting facilities along with three excellent private schools. On the side of Truro closest to St Agnes are two retail estates, the main Royal Cornwall Hospital, the Truro Golf Club and both the recently constructed Richard Lander Secondary School and Truro College. Access around the county is excellent with the A30 expressway being within a few miles of the property and there is a mainline railway station in Truro with direct links to London Paddington.
