For generations many families have returned to rock year after year for their summer holidays. It is no surprise why. rock contains an excellent range of local shops and restaurants. wadebridge (6 miles) is a bustling town catering for most requirements, whilst a pedestrian ferry runs back and forth across the river to the shops and attractions at Padstow. communications are excellent with the a30 trunk road approximately 14 miles away, Bodmin Parkway station 17 miles and newquay airport 19 miles. there is also a heliport at rock. the sheltered waters of the river camel provide a haven for water-skiing, windsurfing and sailing. at low tide over a mile of sand stretches from rock to Daymer Bay which is popular with younger families, while a little further on Polzeath is pounded by atlantic rollers and preferred by surfers. Lanarth has direct access onto little known Porthilly Beach which is the perfect playground for kids. St Enodoc will be well-known to golfers as one of the finest links courses in the country. For the walker the coastal scenery is spectacular, especially in the spring when the cliffs are carpeted with wild flowers. HiSTORY Lanarth was built in 1926 by Melvill keverne trelawny Sandys. Melvill worked in ceylon from 1922, with his last job as acting Government agent in kandy in 1937. his sister lived at Lanarth until 1986 when the current owners acquired the house. Lanarth is being sold on the open market for the first time in approximately 30 years, which is testament to the desirability of this unique property and setting. tHe PRoPeRtY Lanarth occupies one of the largest waterfront plots in rock with approximately 40 metres of frontage to the estuary with private steps down to the sands of Porthilly Beach. Lanarth is an attractive, detached house, crescent- shaped from the south and elevated above its terrace, gardens and the estuary. the two principal rooms on the ground floor both have doors out on to the terrace, enjoying a secluded south facing position. the house has been much loved and well maintained over the years and provides a comfortable family holiday home but would now benefit from some updating. the accommodation is light and spacious with most rooms having wonderful views down over the gardens and camel Estuary beyond. Lanarth is set back from the road behind mature gardens and has an ‘in and out’ double driveway. the property provides immense scope to extend and redevelop (subject to the necessary planning permissions). GARDenS AnD GRounDS the front garden is sheltered from the road by mature plants and shrubs providing a good level of privacy. there is a detached garage with plenty of parking and a 25 ft boat store/workshop. there is access either side of the house to the gardens. Immediately to the south of the house is a large sun terrace with steps to the exceptionally generous gardens below. Laid mainly to lawn, but well stocked with trees and shrubs, the gardens descend down towards the shore where a private set of stone steps lead down to the water, or beach – depending upon the state of the tide. there are a number of mature Macrocarpa trees providing part of the boundary on the west side.
