Positioned in a peaceful, sought after and convenient location close to the cathedral city of Truro. 2 Ref: LCAA6300 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: reception hall, dining room, lobby, living room, study, utility room, kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom/wc.

Outside: detached double garage, detached garden store, gardens mainly laid to lawn with Indian sandstone terraces and various sitting out areas. Parking for several vehicles. DESCRIPTION An incredible home in an exceptional, elevated setting, enjoying fabulous views that must be seen to be fully appreciated. Seldom in Cornwall today does one encounter the opportunity to acquire such an exceptional home combining both high specification and attention to detail and a protected blissful outlook at the head of Cowlands Creek. Offering beautifully presented accommodation of substantial size and a wonderful presentation which combine to create a most welcoming and manageable house affording tranquillity and peace, yet so very readily accessible to the cathedral city of Truro. 3 Ref: LCAA6300 The quality and finish at Benallack is fantastic. The house itself is beautifully presented featuring liberal use of quality materials to include a thatched roof, double glazed sash windows, a custom built handmade kitchen with polished granite sink. The property is situated off a quiet country lane with its own driveway culminating in a large parking area in front of a thatched double garage. Access is given from the parking area around to the front of the house to a good sized entrance hall with separate cloakroom and doors opening to all of the ground floor reception rooms including a comfortably proportioned and beautifully appointed dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room. A staircase ascends to the first floor galleried landing where doors provide access to the master bedroom suit and two further en-suite bedrooms. Stairs then ascend to the second floor where again you will find a galleried landing, a games room/6th bedroom, two further bedrooms (one with dressing room), a linen store and family bathroom. Outside there is plentiful parking, a detached double garage, separate detached garden store and gardens mainly laid to lawn with various terraces. The availability of Benallack for sale publicly on the open market will unquestionably create a tremendous amount of interest. The opportunity now exists to acquire a comfortable and manageable home in a beautiful and exceptional location close to both Truro and Falmouth yet sufficient close to the nearby sailing waters of the Fal Estuary to be of appeal to the keen yachtsman. An exceedingly sought after combination very rarely available on the market. LOCATION The setting of a house is often its most important attribute. Benallack occupies a blissful setting with a manageable amount of gardens in a particularly convenient location for Truro and the nearby Fal Estuary. Occupying one of the most fabulous settings in the area within an exceptionally accessible location close to the city centre in a hugely sought after part of south Cornwall, very close to the renowned Fal Estuary with access to Falmouth Bay which boasts some of the finest day sailing waters in the United Kingdom. Old Kea has long been regarded as a wonderful place to live although opportunities to purchase houses of this calibre occupying such a sensational and prominent position are infrequent at best. Ideally positioned between the cathedral city of Truro (3½ miles), Benallack enjoys an exceptional setting. The cathedral city of Truro is the main commercial, administrative, legal and retailing centre of Cornwall with excellent schooling facilities at junior and 4 Ref: LCAA6300 secondary levels together with highly regarded private schools. There is a mainline rail link to London Paddington (travelling time approximately 4½ hours) and an airport at Newquay provides internal shuttle flights to London. The property without question occupies one of the finest positions in the locality and we expect the availability of Benallack to attract a tremendous amount of interest and accordingly prospective purchasers should make arrangements to view this particular property without delay so as to fully appreciate the exceptional quality, setting and proximity to the creek, Truro and the wonderful surrounding countryside.

This document may be reproduced with prior permission of the Environment Agency. Environment Agency West Cornwall Catchment Flood Management Plan - December 2008 Foreword I am pleased to introduce the West Cornwall Catchment Flood Management Plan. Past flood events remind us of the hardship that flooding can cause, especially in the built environment. They also reveal the challenges we face when confronted by the forces of nature. This plan will allow us to use a scientific approach to understand and describe how the catchment behaves and what the most sustainable flood risk management policies may be over the next 50 to 100 years. We can then use this direction to plan the most acceptable ways of managing flood risk for the long-term. We will use the catchment flood management plan to steer our future investment in flood risk management. We hope that our public and private partners will find it useful in their decision making, especially where it can guide the planning of land use.

    PDZ:5 Zone Point to Nare Point Management Area 11 (including the Fal estuary) Management Area 12 Management Area 13 Management Area 14 Falmouth Docks Zone Point to Nare Point The Fal estuary is a large, deep estuary (formed through flooding of a river valley) with a lot of activity associated with the docks at Falmouth and the numerous sailing clubs found throughout the area. The normal tidal limit of this extensive estuarine water body extends inland some way to the city of Truro and a number of significant tributary creeks at Tresillian, Calenick, Ruan Lanihorne and Cowlands. The open coast between Falmouth estuary (Pendennis) and the Helford River faces east into Falmouth Bay. Although short, this coast is quite varied, and includes hard rock headlands, exposed open cliffs with shore platforms and small beaches protecting brackish lagoons at Swanpool and Maenporth. The Helford estuary is a flooded river valley, the upper reaches of which have formed muddy banks. This estuary is significantly smaller than the Fal and much less developed, with only a few communities at Gweek, Porth Navas, Helford and Gillan. Cornwall and Isles of Scilly SMP2 Final Report Chapter 4 PDZ5 1 February 2011 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly SMP2 Final Report Chapter 4 PDZ5 2 February 2011 General Description Built Environment Significant communities have developed along the immediate Fal estuary frontage particularly at Falmouth and Penryn, with the smaller communities of St Mawes, St Just, Feock, Mylor Churchtown also with fixed residential and commercial, recreation and amenity, roads and flood and coastal defence assets on the frontage.
