SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION

Ground Floor: large conservatory, lounge, sitting room, kitchen, dining room, utility room, shower room.

First Floor: split level landing, 3 double bedrooms, single bedroom/study, bathroom.

Outside: gated driveway, detached garage, carport, well stocked very private garden facing south. About 0.3 of an acre.

DESCRIPTION

It is no wonder that the same family has held on to Chinale for about 100 years as the mix of outstanding far reaching southerly views, complete privacy, tranquillity and the easy walking distance of both St Agnes Beacon and the village facilities in St Agnes are extremely rare indeed. The 3 Ref: LCAA6725 property is found on the southern edge of The Beacon itself with the elevated position taking in many miles of countryside and to the west there is even a distant view of the north coast cliffs and sea.

The cottage is thought to be about 200 years old and has evidently been extended to the rear so that it now provides four bedroomed, three reception roomed accommodation with good ceiling heights throughout. A near full width conservatory takes in the outlook over the garden and much of the interior has been updated. We do however believe that the tremendous attributes this property holds will lead many potential buyers to consider further modernisation of the property and quite possibly extension as there is plenty of space especially to the east side.

The gardens are laid out to the south and east of the cottage setting it as far away from the quiet lane side as possible with fields then encompassing the garden to the north and west. The garden itself is very well screened and is filled with numerous trees, shrubs and interesting plants as well as a pond. A gated tarmac driveway gives off-road parking and access to the detached garage and a further carport and in total the garden extends to just under ⅓ of an acre.

LOCATION

Chinale’s location is one of its many strong attributes as although it has no immediate neighbours it is amazingly just a very short walk along the lane onto the publicly accessible paths on St Agnes Beach which then descend on the north side to paths along the Heritage Coastline. It is also within walking distance of the heart of St Agnes.

4 Ref: LCAA6725 The area is famed for its rugged beauty with towering cliffs, secret coves and long sandy beaches such as the one at Chapel Porth which is within walking distance. The coastline is popular with local surfers and walkers alike who can enjoy the . The town of St Agnes tumbles down the hillside towards Trevaunance Cove, with a mix of Victorian and Georgian stone properties. St Agnes has a thriving community of local people and would never be considered a tourist town. Facilities close at hand include various inns and restaurants, several general stores, a bakery, fishmongers, hotel, dentist, doctors and many other services.

One of the main draws to St Agnes is that it is the nearest piece of north Cornish coastline to the cathedral city of Truro which is only around 15 minutes’ drive away. Truro is Cornwall’s retail, commercial and administrative centre and has an enviable reputation for excellent schooling, restaurants, recreational and sporting facilities along with three excellent private schools. On the side of Truro closest to St Agnes are two retail estates, the main Royal Cornwall Hospital, the Truro Golf Club and both the recently constructed Richard Lander Secondary School and Truro College. Access around the county is excellent with the A30 expressway being within a few miles of the property and there is a mainline railway station in Truro with direct links to London Paddington.
