DESCRIPTION

Pencoose is a fantastic example of a detached rural Victorian farmhouse with self- contained holiday letting facility, outbuildings and immaculately presented formal gardens surrounded by beautiful rural countryside owned as part of the Caerhays Estate.

Having been in the same ownership for almost 40 years, the house has been well maintained throughout and retains a great deal of period features throughout as well as updated works that include modern and contemporary finishes that complement the size and scale of accommodation.

Pencoose sits within approximately 1 acre of formal gardens in turn surrounded by rural countryside and benefits from a high degree of privacy being just one of two properties at the end of this farm lane.

Pencoose further benefits from a recently constructed two storey building that provides double garage to the ground floor and separately accessed self-contained one bedroom holiday accommodation to the first floor with kitchen, living room and large bedroom suite with en-suite shower room which has been run as a successful holiday letting business. As well as this there are two unconverted outbuildings, one of which being a large store which subject to the necessary consents could well be utilised as a further holiday letting unit or alternative use.

One of the major features of Pencoose has to be the beautifully landscaped and lovingly planted gardens that are the pride and joy of the current owners and provide huge 4 Ref: LCAA5582 potential for enjoyment of the various areas including immaculate lawns, patioed sun terrace, orchards and vegetable patch with raised beds.

LOCATION

Pencoose is located in the midst of one of Cornwall’s least spoilt areas – the Roseland Peninsula. The house is about 3½ miles in land from the beaches at Portholland and Caerhays Castle at the head of Porthluney Cove. The privately owned Caerhays Castle estate regularly opens its beautiful gardens which were designed by John Nash around 200 years ago. The families that have owned the estate, and indeed the estate buildings themselves are prominent throughout the and still are today. Porthluney Cove beach is a mix of shingle and sand and is well sheltered making it ideal for swimming and children to play, as well as being the nearest available place to launch a boat. The small historic community at East and West Portholland appears as if it were stuck in time, and indeed much of the surrounding area is completely unspoilt with very little settlement apart from farms.

The nearest services are at Tregony which is about 1 mile away where there is primary and secondary schooling, an inn, general stores, doctors and dentists. There are country pubs at Ruanlanihorne at the head of the Fal Estuary, Veryan and the picturesque hamlet of Philleigh. Closer to the tip of the Roseland Peninsula are the joined villages of Gerrans and Porthscatho set around a harbour and cove with longer beaches available at Pendower, Carne and Porthbeor.

5 Ref: LCAA5582 For many the upmarket sailing community of requires little introduction as it is set around a sheltered and picturesque natural harbour at the mouth of the Percuil River which gives safe mooring for yachts. The river opens at the mouth of the Fal Estuary (Carrick Roads) which offers some of the finest and safest day sailing waters in the United Kingdom. Regular racing is organised by St Mawes Sailing Club and there is also an extremely active and well attended children’s sailing school with a windsurfing school further up the Percuil River. In addition, St Mawes also has various restaurants, hotels and cafés as well as beaches.

Truro is about a 20 minutes’ drive away and is Cornwall’s capital city, having the largest range of commercial, professional, shopping and entertainment facilities in the county along with supermarkets and trading estates on its outskirts. There are three private schools around the city catering for all needs. In the centre is a flagship Marks & Spencer store, a multi screen cinema and the Hall for Cornwall Theatre. ’s cobbled Georgian and Victorian streets are also home to many cafés and an ever expanding range of excellent restaurants.
