LCAA7013 £495000 4 Porthgwidden, LEASEHOLD Feock, Nr Ref: LCAA7013 £495,000 4 Porthgwidden, LEASEHOLD Feock, Nr. Truro, South Cornwall (Remainder of 999 years plus share of freehold) An elegant 2 double bedroomed apartment within an exclusive waterside Regency mansion. Refurbished to a high standard, with breathtaking views over 6½ acres of gardens and grounds gently sloping to the Carrick Roads. Sold with the benefit of deep water frontage and MOORING (by application), communal slipway and beach. This lovely apartment must be seen to be truly appreciated and is available with NO ONWARD CHAIN. 2 Ref: LCAA7013 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: reception hall with staircase to first floor accommodation, 1 double bedroom, bathroom and ground floor reception room with woodburner. First Floor: landing, double bedroom (currently used as a study), shower room, kitchen, dual aspect living/dining room with decked balcony. Outside: garage and parking. About 6½ acres of communal gardens and grounds gently sloping down to the water’s edge with long waterfrontage, use of a slipway and beach. The owners have enjoyed the exclusive use of a deep water mooring on licence from Cornwall Council. Use of a private squash court and designated area within communal storage space within the attics of the main building. LOCATION Porthgwidden enjoys a setting of outstanding beauty set amidst glorious lightly wooded gardens and parkland of around 6½ acres which slope down to the water’s edge and have a long direct frontage to the Carrick Roads. The position between Loe Beach and Restronguet Point, a narrow peninsula once part of the Porthgwidden Estate, is nowadays 3 Ref: LCAA7013 regarded as one of the most coveted and desirable waterside locations in the county, lined with multi million pound properties. The gardens surrounding the apartments were created in the mid-1800’s and now are some of the most beautiful privately owned gardens in the area with a selection of mature trees, wild flowers and many different types of shrubs and ornamental grasses. From almost every part of the grounds there are beautiful views down to the water’s edge, the Carrick Roads and the Roseland Peninsula coastline. The outlook is filled with colourful sails during the summer months and traditional sailing Falmouth Working Boats who dredge for shellfish. The long frontage to the Carrick Roads abuts two areas of beach and a private slipway gives excellent access to the water for the residents. There is also provision for a deep water mooring as previously mentioned, along with plenty of parking and a garage within a block. THE APARTMENT 4 Porthgwidden is arranged as a maisonette apartment with accommodation on the ground and first floor. The main feature of the apartment is a 22’10” x 12’ max. sitting/dining room which has large sash windows enjoying a dual aspect to the side over the grounds and also through a pair of secondary glazed French doors opening onto a decked balcony and overlooking the lawns below the house as well as enjoying fantastic views of the Carrick Roads and Roseland Peninsula. Throughout both the ground and first floors there are high ceilings, cornicing, tall moulded skirtings and large windows providing a light, bright and airy atmosphere. Recently refurbished to a high standard by the current owners to include in 4 Ref: LCAA7013 particular bespoke shutters to most windows and oak flooring in the ground floor reception room, the overall effect is one of elegance and could be moved into immediately. A private glazed entrance door opens into a reception hall from where an impressive turning staircase rises past an arched window to the first floor. A large archway opens onto a ground floor reception room, artfully designed to create an immediate ‘wow’ factor on entering the apartment. This useful ground floor reception space overlooks the courtyard to the rear of the property and is warmed by a newly installed Contura 790 woodburner which by virtue of the open archway can lend extra warmth to the entire apartment. On the ground floor there is also a useful understairs storage cupboard, utility cupboard with plumbing for a washing machine, shower room and double bedroom with built-in double wardrobe and large window to the side elevation enjoying views of the communal grounds. On the first floor there is a double aspect bedroom currently used as a study with a super arched multi glazed window enjoying views of the side elevation as before. A door from the landing leads to a second bathroom, further along the landing is a well fitted kitchen area before reaching the previously mentioned sitting/dining room with large sash windows to the side elevation and pretty French doors leading to the decked balcony and the glorious views. HISTORICAL NOTE In his book, ‘Stately Homes in and Around Truro’, Rex Barratt mentions the property, and states that:- “Porthgwidden, derived from the Cornish place name of Porthgwyn, believed to mean ‘the white cove’ was built in or around the year 1830 by Edmund Turner, MP for Truro 1837-1847, who it is reported spent £1,000 on a dinner for the people of Truro on his election! The property was acquired in 1842 by John Philpotts, at one time MP for Gloucester, and enlarged by his son, The Reverend Canon T Philpotts, Vicar of the Parish for 30 years and donor of the South Porch of Truro Cathedral, who occupied the house until his death in 1890. It was then let to various tenants, Bolitho, Spottiswood, Trefusis – and in 1923 became the property of H K Neal, followed in 1935 by Kenneth Holman”. During the earlier part of its history the Royal Horticultural Show was held in the grounds and distinguished visitors in the past are believed to have included Her Majesty Queen Mary and Sir Edward Elgar. Nearly 50 years ago, the house was imaginatively and skilfully converted to create 8 prestigious apartments, thankfully, however the handsome exterior remained unspoilt by the conversion. 5 Ref: LCAA7013 It must be emphasised how rare it is to have the opportunity to live in such a prime, prestigious setting and building in this price bracket. The earliest of viewings is strongly recommended by arrangement through the vendor’s sole agent.

T is usual to write something as a preface, and this generally appears to be to make some excuse for having written at all. In a pre- face to Tom Toole and his Friends — a very interesting book published a few years ago, by Mrs. Henry Sandford, in which the poets Coleridge and Wordsworth, together with the Wedgwoods and many other eminent men of that day figure,—the author says, on one occasion, when surrounded by old letters, note books, etc., an old and faithful servant remon- " " strated with her thus : And what for ? she " demanded very emphatically. There's many a hundred dozen books already as nobody ever reads." Her hook certainly justified her efforts, and needed no excuse. But what shall I say of this } What for do 1 launch this little book, which only refers to the parish ot Mylor ^ vi Preface. The great majority of us are convinced that the county of our birth is the best part of Eng- land, and if we are folk country-born, that our parish is the most favoured spot in it. With something of this idea prompting me, I have en- deavoured to look up all available information and documents, and elaborate such by personal recollections and by reference to authorities.

In this exhibition Amanda’s journey is somewhat more reflective, taking us back to the area where she began her career as an artist. In the 1990’s, Amanda was on the water daily, sharing her time between a love for boats and her compulsion to draw and paint. As demand for these first seascapes steadily grew, Amanda devoted herself fulltime to painting in 2000. She has since journeyed the whole of Cornwall’s coast path, absorbing herself in all weathers and terrains. Known also for her romantic impressions of Venice and Bath she has established a reputation across the UK and into America and demand for her finely executed oils remains at an all time high. Returning to paint Carrick Roads has conjured an evocative sense of the past, and in turn the work has a contemplative, almost wistful quality. The light is gentle and the palette is subdued; in the Truro series the meditative atmosphere is particularly resonant. Amanda recognises the pensive nature of the work. She says: ‘The paintings of Truro are the first of this Carrick Roads collection. They have started quietly, peacefully - a reflection not only of the light at the time but also of how I am feeling.’ These are the first paintings Amanda has produced since an illness last year kept her out of the studio for three months.

The presentation of all monitoring features into these catchment maps will assist in developing an integrated approach to catchment management and operation. The water quality monitoring maps and index were originally incorporated into the Catchment Action Plans. They provide a visual presentation of monitored sites within a catchment and enable water quality data to be accessed easily by all departments and external organisations. The maps bring together information from different sections within Water Quality. The routine river monitoring and tidal water monitoring points, the licensed waste disposal sites and the monitored effluent discharges (pic, non-plc, fish farms, COPA Variation Order [non-plc and pic]) are plotted. The type of discharge is identified such as sewage effluent, dairy factory, etc. Additionally, river impact and control sites are indicated for significant effluent discharges. If the watercourse is not sampled then the location symbol is qualified by (*). Additional details give the type of monitoring undertaken at sites (ie chemical, biological and algological) and whether they are analysed for more specialised substances as required by: a.

  • MA11 Policy Development Zone: PDZ5
    Location reference: Lower Fal Management Area reference: MA11 Policy Development Zone: PDZ5 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly SMP2 Final Report Chapter 4 PDZ5 7 February 2011 DISCUSSION AND DETAILED POLICY DEVELOPMENT The preferred plan for the Lower Fal aims to balance the provision of support to the core settlements of Falmouth, Penryn, St Mawes, St Just, Flushing, Restronguet and Mylor (in line with the high-level SMP objectives) with a management approach which does not adversely impact on the undeveloped parts of the lower estuary and importantly takes account of any potential impacts on the Fal & Helford SAC. It is important to note that there is a legal requirement to not adversely affect the integrity of the SAC; through impacts such as the loss of intertidal feeding areas by not allowing the high water mark to move inland due to climate change. This, of course, requires a number of different policy options to be employed at different locations. From a high level view-point, it can be seen that across the whole Management Area (and indeed across the entire estuary system) there will be a trend toward a reduction in intertidal area due to sea level rise. Wherever the landward movement of MHWS is constrained by the rising topography or defences, reduction in intertidal area may occur. It is likely that a net overall reduction in intertidal area may occur toward the latter part of the SMP timeframe when considering sea level rise in isolation. However the picture is actually much more complex than this – erosion, accretion, sedimentation, changes in the tidal prism, increases in rainfall and fluvial flow will also affect the current pattern of intertidal exposure.
