Ref: LCAA1820 Ref: LCAA6673 £459,950 The Old Smithy, Rose Hill, Ladock, Nr. Truro, Cornwall FREEHOLD A gorgeous detached Grade II Listed converted smithy located off a quiet side lane in the leafy outskirts of the village of Ladock. Oozing character and charm with comfortable well presented 3 bedroomed accommodation plus superb stone faced outbuilding and beautiful well tended south facing gardens to rear. 2 Ref: LCAA6673 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: triple aspect kitchen/dining room 23’ x 10’6”, sitting/formal dining room, utility room/wc. First Floor: 3 double bedrooms, family shower room. Outside: detached outbuilding comprising workshop/garage, triple aspect garden room. Broad slate paved sun terrace with formal gently sloping lawned garden with mature tree and shrub borders, stream and flowerbeds. Timber garden store with wood store. DESCRIPTION The Old Smithy is an utterly gorgeous looking exposed stone property which as the name suggests was converted from a former smithy some 20 years ago by the current owners. The conversion in accordance with the Grade II Listing was of great quality and displays the immense care and attention that has been employed to create a fantastic comfortable family home which although not huge contains fantastic key rooms. These include a marvellous triple aspect dining/kitchen with dual fuel Rangemaster range and space for an eight seater dining table under an open vaulted ceiling giving a great feeling of space. Equally, the sitting room with three quarter length small pane sash windows and a lovely woodburning stove set on a polished granite hearth with recessed display alcoves is of a quality and charm which needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. 3 Ref: LCAA6673 In addition to the main accommodation is a detached, purpose built, stone faced block cavity outbuilding which reflects the character of the main house and currently is configured to give a large workshop/garage and to the rear a triple aspect office, however with all services connected it would be certainly a strong possibility that, if required, a buyer could create a wonderful detached self- contained annexe, subject of course to gaining necessary consents. Approached off a quite lane there is parking for 2/3 cars and to the rear of the house is a broad full width sun terrace with steps descending to a generous well tended and profusely stocked garden featuring areas of gently sloping lawn, well stocked flowerbeds and borders bounded by mature shrub and tree hedging eventually running down to reed screen fencing and a babbling brook beyond. A property of immense charm and character with gorgeous gardens and an outbuilding offering great potential, viewing wholeheartedly recommended by the vendor’s sole agent.

  • Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management
    Appendix A - Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has overall responsibility for flood risk management in England. Their aim is to reduce flood risk by: • discouraging inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding. • encouraging adequate and cost effective flood warning systems. • encouraging adequate technically, environmentally and economically sound and sustainable flood defence measures. The Government’s Foresight Programme has recently produced a report called Future Flooding, which warns that the risk of flooding will increase between 2 and 20 times over the next 75 years. The report produced by the Office of Science and Technology has a long-term vision for the future (2030 – 2100), helping to make sure that effective strategies are developed now. Sir David King, the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government concluded: “continuing with existing policies is not an option – in virtually every scenario considered (for climate change), the risks grow to unacceptable levels. Secondly, the risk needs to be tackled across a broad front. However, this is unlikely to be sufficient in itself. Hard choices need to be taken – we must either invest in more sustainable approaches to flood and coastal management or learn to live with increasing flooding”. In response to this, Defra is leading the development of a new strategy for flood and coastal erosion for the next 20 years. This programme, called “Making Space for Water” will help define and set the agenda for the Government’s future strategic approach to flood risk. Within this strategy there will be an overall approach to the assessing options through a strong and continuing commitment to CFMPs and SMPs within a broader planning framework which will include River Basin Management Plans prepared under the Water Framework Directive and Integrated Coastal Zone Management.

  • Ref: LCAA1820
    Ref: LCAA7916 Offers around £550,000 Owls House, Ladock, Nr. Truro, Cornwall, TR2 4PW FREEHOLD A grandly proportioned and extensive 5 bedroomed, 4 bathroomed south facing period house extending to almost 3,500sq.ft. – a significant portion of a grand country house within a few miles of Truro. An opportunity to live in one of the area’s most impressive historic residences enjoying the high ceilinged, detail filled accommodation with integral garage, carport and long south facing garden looking out across countryside. 2 Ref: LCAA7916 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: reception hall, dining room, drawing room, kitchen, sitting room, utility room, bathroom, integral garage, basement. First Floor: landing, master bedroom with balcony and en-suite shower room. 2 further bedrooms, shower room. Second Floor: landing, 2 double bedrooms (1 with former kitchenette off), bathroom. Outside: long south facing garden with large terrace, deck, summerhouse, shed and deep shrub lined boundaries. Broad carport to the front opening to the garage. DESCRIPTION Owls House is the central portion of one of the grandest houses in Cornwall and certainly within such close proximity to Truro. The non-listed building is believed to have been started in the late 1870’s by the Rector Stanford Raffles Flint (with family connection to Raffles Hotel, named after the founder of Singapore), who went on to become Archdeacon and a Canon of Truro Cathedral. As his family grew the house was increased in size significantly but always in keeping with the original to give a harmonious many gabled appearance over three storeys with outstanding chimneys and architectural details such as stone balustraded balconies and patterned stone detailing to the exterior.

    Study 4978 Cornwall OnLine Census Project, 1891 This document was supplied by the depositor and has been modified by AHDS History Introduction THIS STUDY contains our [Cornwall Online Census Project] transcript of the 1891 census returns for Cornwall. It has been transcribed, checked and validated by the volunteers of the Cornwall Online Census Project, the Cornish arm of the Free Census project. The original records are held by The National Archives and this transcription is done with their permission. Image copies of the original returns can be viewed on film, fiche or CDROM from commercial suppliers and at many research facilities around the world. This study contains a full transcription of the 1891 census returns for Cornwall—a snapshot of the people and places of Cornwall on the night of April 5th, 1891. The file names are the PRO piece number code (without punctuation). About UK Census Returns About Free Census (FreeCEN) was started early in 2000 with a pilot project for the 1891 census returns for Devon. The aim of Free Census is to transcribe all the UK 19th century census returns. It is part of FreeUKGEN and is a sister project to FreeBMD and FreeREG. The intention is that all three of the UK primary sources for the family historian will be online and “free to view.” Six months after the Devon project started, the Cornwall 1891 commenced. Most English and Welsh counties are now covered for the 1891, with the Scottish projects concentrating on the 1841. There are several English 1861 projects, using commercially produced discs and two English 1841 projects, including Cornwall.

  • An Orthis from Ladock Quarry, Cornwall
    330 Correspondence—C. Varies Sherhorn. supposed recent Voles of the Forest Bed I have come to consider as extinct species; the Pliocene Crag types, on the other hand, while entirely absent from the "West Runton Fresh-water Bed, were found in the East Runton Forest Bed mixed with types of the former; this leads to the assumption that the Crag types have been washed into the East Runton deposit. The latter explanation, which I did not explicitly formulate at the time, receives strong support from the fact that at East Runton we find likewise a West Runton species of Beaver, together with a Pliocene species [Castor plicidens, Maj.), the inference to be drawn being that the provenance of the latter is the same as that of the Pliocene Voles, mingled at East Runton with the West Runton types. If I am right in my deductions, it follows that the Vole fauna of the Forest Bed will, by the elimination of recent as well as of Pliocene types, prove to have been much more homogeneous than hitherto supposed. This being the case with one restricted group, it appears to call for a revision of all the other mammalian remains. For many years I have entertained the suspicion that there must be something wrong with our lists of the Forest Bed Mammals. In plain language, the association of recent with Pliocene mammalian species, culminating in the assumption of the musk-ox having been a contemporary of the prototypes of the Upper Pliocene Val d'Arno fauna, is a faunistic impossibility. I therefore deny such an association of which there is no analogy in any other part of the world, although this has been assumed on erroneous determinations, e.g.

  • Cornish Mineral Reference Manual
    Cornish Mineral Reference Manual Peter Golley and Richard Williams April 1995 First published 1995 by Endsleigh Publications in association with Cornish Hillside Publications © Endsleigh Publications 1995 ISBN 0 9519419 9 2 Endsleigh Publications Endsleigh House 50 Daniell Road Truro, Cornwall TR1 2DA England Printed in Great Britain by Short Run Press Ltd, Exeter. Introduction Cornwall's mining history stretches back 2,000 years; its mineralogy dates from comparatively recent times. In his Alphabetum Minerale (Truro, 1682) Becher wrote that he knew of no place on earth that surpassed Cornwall in the number and variety of its minerals. Hogg's 'Manual of Mineralogy' (Truro 1825) is subtitled 'in wich [sic] is shown how much Cornwall contributes to the illustration of the science', although the manual is not exclusively based on Cornish minerals. It was Garby (TRGSC, 1848) who was the first to offer a systematic list of Cornish species, with locations in his 'Catalogue of Minerals'. Garby was followed twenty-three years later by Collins' A Handbook to the Mineralogy of Cornwall and Devon' (1871; 1892 with addenda, the latter being reprinted by Bradford Barton of Truro in 1969). Collins followed this with a supplement in 1911. (JRIC Vol. xvii, pt.2.). Finally the torch was taken up by Robson in 1944 in the form of his 'Cornish Mineral Index' (TRGSC Vol. xvii), his amendments and additions were published in the same Transactions in 1952. All these sources are well known, but the next to appear is regrettably much less so. it would never the less be only just to mention Purser's 'Minerals and locations in S.W.
