Viewing only by appointment with H Tiddy ESTATE AGENTS AND PROPERTY CONSULTANTS The Square, St Mawes, Cornwall TR2 5AG Tel: +44 1326 270212 [email protected] www.htiddy.co.uk Cornwall Cornwall has been enjoying a renaissance, especially post COVID-19 lockdown. It offers a range of accessible attractions such as the Eden Project, the National Maritime Museum, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, and the Tate Gallery. The Cathedral City of Truro is the main financial and commercial centre of Cornwall. It has a fine range of stores, private schools, college and the main hospital in the county (RCH Treliske). Both Falmouth University and Cornwall Airport at Newquay are rapidly expanding. Fine dining Michelin star and celebrity chef restaurants are in abundance, including Rick Stein (Falmouth and Padstow), Nathan Outlaw (Port Isaac), Paul Ainsworth (Padstow and Rock). Rising stars on The Roseland are Olly Pierrepont at the Driftwood, Rosevine and Dorian Janmaat at the Idle Rocks, St Mawes. Oyster Reach is positioned within a small select cul de sac on the edge of the village. The name follows the traditional Falmouth working boats which can be seen each winter dredging for oysters in the Carrick Roads. Oyster Reach offers ample off-road parking and a double garage. Inside the accommodation is spacious and split across three floors to make the most of the aspect. The main principle living room being almost 24 feet wide with large windows to enjoy the breath-taking views with doors out onto a sunny patio where the garden ‘drops’ revealing interrupted coastal and countryside views. There are four double bedrooms, three of which have en suites with the main three bedrooms offering beautiful views. The house is positioned and carefully designed meaning all principal rooms across the three floors offer the views. The property throughout is in good order but one can add their own mark with decoration or improvements to their taste. There is also an opportunity to extend or make changes due to its large footprint (subject to the relevant consents). The upper ground floor includes a spacious entrance hall, integral double garage, the fourth bedroom / office and an independent principal suite comprising a large double bedroom with windows overlooking St Just Creek, and a spacious en suite bathroom. A short flight of stairs leads from this level to the lower ground floor. On the lower ground floor there is a cloakroom / wc, a utility room and a excellent sized well-equipped kitchen, again with beautiful views out over the Creek. The main living room, nearly 24 feet in length, was designed to take maximum advantage of the panoramic views. On the first floor there are two generous double bedrooms both with en suite facilities and with far reaching views from each bedroom. The surroundings gardens at Oyster Reach gives you privacy to all sides being enclosed via mature hedging. There is a sunny patio terrace out from the main living room where you can sit to enjoy the views. The garden then ‘drops’ down in terraces giving you uninterrupted views out with lower tiered gardens which then leads into a woodland area, perfect for those who could potentially landscape to create more sitting areas or allow to grow for more of a natural look. The Views Mere photography can not do justice to these views. It is rare to find a property with such uninterrupted views across different aspects of the Roseland coast that include the well regarded and beautiful sub-tropical gardens of St Just Church. The views span out over the Church to St Just Creek which include the bar and boat yard. You can see out towards Feock and Mylor Harbour. You can also see across to Falmouth Bay and down the Carrick Roads. A true panorama of mixed scenery you will never get tired of looking at. General Information Services Mains water and electricity.

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.

    PIONEERING MINEWATER TREATMENT It was a unique event — and one that caught IN the breath o f everyone concerned with the quality of our rivers. Over 10 million gallons o f heavily contaminated water burst from CORNWALL the disused Cornish tin mine workings of Wheal Jane, causing serious pollution. The highly toxic water, loaded with cadmium, zinc, arsenic and iron, swept into the Carnon River and spectacularly spread its metal-rich contents throughout the Restronguet Creek and into Carrick Roads and Falmouth Bay. The National Rivers Authority's response to this event was swift and effective in first controlling and then treating the worst elements of the contaminated minewater. As 'Guardians o f the water environment', the NRA was faced with a complex engineering and scientific project. Its objectives are extremely challenging: • Minimise the polluting effect o f the contaminated minewater discharge from Wheal Jane; • Monitor changes in water quality and the effects on the aquatic environment; • Determine the most cost-effective long­ term treatment strategy. In recognition o f the unprecedented scale of the problem, the Government pledged over £8 million for this pioneering wrork. This leaflet details the NRA's response and action in meeting this undoubted challenge. Emergenc THE PROBLEM scheme tt Cornwall is famous for its tin mines, but the demise of this once flourishing industry has left a legacy of pollution as old mine treat rive: workings have become flooded. In the case of Wheal Jane, regular pumping p ollu tion during its productive life depressed the water table by about 400 metres. The mine MERGENCY actic was closed in 1991 and pumping operations i treat m i l l i o n s ceased.
