Ideally positioned at the head of the carrick roads, Feock is home to some of the most sought after properties in the county. Situated between the cathedral city of Truro and the historic port of Falmouth, there is immediate access to some of the best day-sailing waters in the British Isles. The carrick roads offer an ever-changing marine viewing gallery, with the Falmouth working boats dredging oysters, ships laying-up at Trelissick, and of course loe Beach regatta, one of the summer’s popular water sport events. There are also moorings and lay-up facilities at loe Beach, and a popular beach café and summer sailing school. The historic national Trust-owned Trelissick estate lies almost immediately to the north east where the king harry ferry crosses to the beautiful and unspoilt roseland Peninsula. hard to believe in such an idyllic marine setting, the schools and shops of Truro are only about 5 miles distant. There is a mainline rail link to london Paddington whilst newquay airport now provides daily flights to london besides many other european destinations. To the south, Falmouth is home to a wide range of marine facilities including yacht marinas, the landmark national Maritime Museum cornwall and the royal cornwall Yacht club. The PrOPerTy The Orchard occupies an exceptionally private setting near the heart of the village, in large gardens and grounds stretching from Feock church to the boatyard at the top of loe Beach. The views stretch down over the gardens and out towards the sailing waters of the carrick roads, taking in the roseland Peninsula on the eastern shore. Both loe Beach and Pill creek are just a short walk from the house. The house itself is full of character inside with beamed ceilings and sash windows. The 22 ft kitchen/dining room is very much the heart of the house, with a wood burner and a door opening out on to the terrace with views stretching down towards the water. The equally spacious sitting room features a large traditional stone fireplace with another wood burner and a door leading out to the gardens. at the rear of the house on the ground floor there is a useful study, utility room, cloakroom/wc and lobby. a spiral staircase leads to the first floor where there are four bedrooms and two family bathrooms. Outside, a private driveway leads to a large parking and turning area behind the house. The gardens are laid mainly to lawn with an area of woodland at the top of the plot. There is gated access from the bottom of the garden with a pedestrian right of way for the owners, with dinghy or canoe, to loe Beach. One can simply walk from the house to the water’s edge. There is a boatstore near this lower gate, and a garden storage shed nearer the house. In the same ownership for 28 years, this sale represents a once-in- a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a charming private property in a sublime setting just yards from the shoreline of the Fal estuary.
