Ref: LCAA1820 Ref: LCAA7080 Offers around £425,000 Nanquidno Vean, Nanquidno, St Just, West Cornwall FREEHOLD For sale for the first time since 1971. A classic west Cornwall detached double fronted granite cottage with extensions, enjoying a sunny and relatively sheltered position in about ⅓ of an acre of streamside gardens with views to the sea, on the edge of the picturesque hamlet of Nanquidno about ½ a miles’ walk from the coast path and cove. Believed to have never been offered for sale on the open market before, an ancient and well cared for property with two enormous granite fireplaces and potential to further extend the accommodation, in one of the most dramatic and unspoilt areas of Cornwall. 2 Ref: LCAA7080 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: living/dining room with huge granite fireplace, kitchen with huge inglenook fireplace, rear hall, stair hall, utility cupboard, modern bath/shower room. First Floor: huge master bedroom (potentially two double bedrooms), second bedroom. Outside: long driveway with cattle grid, beautiful granite walled gardens around the house including a patio with sea views. More extensive lawned gardens with small copse, protruding granite boulders and beautiful stream with waterfalls flowing around a large deck with seating area and pond facing the sea. In all, about ⅓ of an acre. The property was carefully extended about two years ago and further plans have been drawn but not submitted to the local planning authority for further extension creating 4/5 bedrooms and additional reception and bathroom accommodation. DESCRIPTION Nanquidno Vean is found on the edge of the exceptionally charming coastal hamlet of Nanquidno and is set just above the valley allowing it to take in beautiful countryside views to the front as well as sea views from the side and from its gardens. The property was cleverly positioned to enjoy shelter from the prevailing winds that have helped shape the surrounding dramatic landscape. 3 Ref: LCAA7080 The exact age of the original granite cottage is unknown but it is certainly ancient with wonderful features including small pane sash windows set into deep sills, a small front door, an interesting chimney design and inside there are two of the most impressive granite fireplaces one is ever likely to see. The living/dining room effectively takes up the ground floor of the original cottage with a massive fireplace to one end now with a more practical modern inset woodburning stove. There are also exposed stone walls as there are in the kitchen. An extension to the rear, completed approximately two years ago, now provides a contemporary bathroom and there is also a rear hall and utility cupboard. The extension work also greatly extended the size of the principle bedroom and the design has cleverly been organised so that this space can currently easily be used as two bedrooms divided by a curtain or would be simple to alter into two separate bedrooms, one of which has views to the sea. In addition, there is a further bedroom on this floor. Our clients have also had plans drawn to further extend the property to make a larger kitchen/dining room on the ground floor and an additional two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, with the new master bedroom taking in views over countryside to the sea. These plans have not yet been submitted for approval to the local planning authority. The gardens are equally as charming as the cottage with granite walled lawns to the front and rear overlooking the surrounding fields. To the side the gardens are more extensive with an open lawn having a tumbling stream spilling over granite boulders and through a small copse before forming waterfalls around the edge of a large raised deck with a built-in granite and slate seating area and elevated pond. This has all been cleverly located to enjoy the afternoon and evening’s sun whilst looking straight down the valley towards the sea. Nanquidno Vean really is the quintessential and perfect west Cornwall cottage. 4 Ref: LCAA7080 LOCATION Nanquidno is a small hamlet set in a valley that runs directly to the west Cornwall coastline that is famed for the astonishing views available from its cliff top walks along the South West Coast Path. As well as the sea below, it is possible to see Long Ships Lighthouse and even Wolf Rock and the Isles of Scilly on a clear day. A stroll along the coast leads to the neighbouring Cot Valley and Cape Cornwall to the north or to Whitesand Bay and Sennen Cove to the south. The village of Sennen is one of Cornwall’s most highly regarded for its beauty, with its old stone buildings overlooking a substantial quay and the white sandy beach below. Sennen is England’s furthest west mainland village and is only a short distance from Land’s End itself. The town of St Just is around 1 mile to the north of Nanquidno, where there are various Inns, shops, restaurants, a primary school and other facilities. Penzance is around a fifteen minute drive from the property and has a full range of schooling and shopping as well as a hospital and a mainline rail terminus with direct trains to London Paddington taking around 5 hours. 5 Ref: LCAA7080 THE ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES (all floor plans and dimensions are approximate) A low part glazed stable door to the front opens to:- LIVING / DINING ROOM – 21’ x 12’ max. Two multi pane sash windows to the front both in deep tiled sills, huge granite fireplace with a Clearview woodburning stove.

Kitchen units with roll edged cream worktops, a stainless steel sink and drainer and white tiled splashbacks. Space within the units for various appliances.

Fitted wardrobe, two modern digitally controlled electric radiators, multi pane sash window to the front and double glazed multi pane window to the side with views over countryside to the sea. BEDROOM 2 – 12’6” x 8’9” reducing to 5’7”. Multi pane sash window to the front and further multi pane window to the rear. One exposed stone wall, canopied ceiling with exposed timbers, access to roof space, modern digitally controlled electric radiator. OUTSIDE The cottage cannot be seen from the start of the driveway which has a cattle grid with the drive then rising up to the garden with an area of grassed over hardstanding. The garden 7 Ref: LCAA7080 then extends out on two sides and is extremely beautiful with shaped lawns bounded by granite walls, wonderful planted beds, trees and shrubs and a very picturesque fast flowing stream along the boundary. A gate opens through walls into the garden immediately surrounding the cottage and a grassed walkway leads through an area of trees and granite stones to a lower lawned garden which has the stream running through it and the bridges across it. Stone hedges and willow line this lower garden along with lilies and hydrangeas lower down around numerous small waterfalls. A larger bridge extends onto a superb elevated deck with a raised granite and slate lilypond and a semi circular granite and slate seating area taking in magnificent views down the valley to an expanse of sea and the rocky headland called Gribba Point. Immediately surrounding the cottage are granite and pebble laid pathways bounded by granite walls many of which are topped with grass. To the side is a slightly raised and paved seating area thought to be in the confines of a former cottage, with a camellia to one side, enjoying privacy and shelter whilst still taking in views to the sea.

The Design & Access Statement has been produced by the Cornwall Planning Group on behalf of the client Mr B Thomas. This Statement accompanies associated plans and documentation, seeking the Councils permission on the principle of. Construction of Agricultural Building, Greenhouse Building & Associated Works on 35 Acre Farm. My client has recently established planning permission for a replacement farmhouse dwelling at his property ‘Pengelly’ with the land acquisition of 35 acres of surrounding land as indicated on our planning proposal. The need for the agricultural buildings is justified with the following processes. 1. Lambing Shed. 2. Potting shed and greenhouse to grow vegetables. 3. Various farming machinery. 4. The restoration of the land is currently undergoing a vast 650 tree planting scheme 5. The agricultural building will naturally need to be used as feed storage for the animals, as well as lambing and various other agricultural related activities. After conducting research of the site and surrounding area it has been noted that recent development sites have been approved within the area.

    Trip to Cornwall Friday 30 September – Sunday 2 October 2011 This is the itinerary for our Cornish trip. Our main base for the weekend will be the Commercial Hotel in St Just but our accommodation is split around the locality as there aren’t any establishments that can accommodate all of us. Kenny Trembath of the Sun-Set herd has organised our itinerary for us, with a mixture of visits to Longhorn cattle and elements of Cornwall’s rich life, industry and history incorporating agriculture, the sea, Cornwall’s industrial heritage, the arts and some of its finest scenery. It should be a great weekend! Itinerary Friday 30 September – make your way to your accommodation. There are plenty of good pubs in St Just, many of whom put on live traditional music on a Friday night. Saturday 1 October 9.15 Meet at Commercial Hotel, St Just. We’ll be on a coach for the visits as there isn’t room for cars at some of the locations and it keeps us altogether! The website below has more details about St Just and the surrounding area. http://www.cornwalls.co.uk/St-Just/ Visit to the Sun-Set Longhorns at Carnyorth Common – Natural England conservation grazing site.

  • British Birds Report on Rare Birds in Great Britain in 1997
    British Birds Established 1907; incorporating 'The Zoologist', established 1843 Report on rare birds in Great Britain in 1997 M. J. Rogers and the Rarities Committee with comments by Grahame Walbridge and Andy Stoddart This is the fortieth annual Report of the Rarities Committee and, once again, it demonstrates the vital roles of the Report and the Committee. This is, perhaps, not surprising, as the Committee is the only body that liaises with the full network of County Bird Recorders (to whom we give thanks) and produces the only report for which detailed descriptions are independently assessed by a panel of democratically elected individuals. In an average year, we process about one thousand records, and our estimate for this year is that only 35 reasonable claims have not yet been submitted to the Committee for scrutiny. Two notable records were not submitted in time to be dealt with in this Report: a Great White Egret Egretta alba (possibly of the Nearctic race), in Northamptonshire, in November-December, and a Veery Catharus fuscescens, in Devon, in May. A further 20 for 1997 and earlier years arrived too late to be considered for this Report. We feel that, whilst it is not ideal, a late- submission or non-submission rate of 5% is to be expected. The role of the Committee is clear. We are to assess, from information provided to us, the suitability of records of rare birds to be included in the national rare-bird archive. The specifics of this task create one of our major problems. Because we are judging the records for posterity, we have to base our decisions on the information that is provided to us, so that, if the records are reappraised in future, the logic of our decision-making is obvious.

Inevitably a lot of the work is repetitive and "matters arising" take up a great deal of time at every meeting; there must be continuity and even persistence to reach successful conclusions and it is all amazingly time consuming.
