Both of the 29’ long living/dining room and the separate lounge have woodburning stoves, high vaulted ceilings and extensive glazing taking in the spectacular easterly views which extend over the property’s own grounds to Trecrom Hill in the foreground and then over many miles of countryside to Carn Brea, Godolphin and Tregonning Hills and even down to the sea and south coast with a headland on the Lizard Peninsula in the distance. Beyond the front porch one will find a well proportioned kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances and a mix of wood and Cornish granite worktops. A hall leads to two of the bedrooms, a study and bathroom. The study acts as a through room with a further hall beyond linking into the lounge and principal bedroom suite. This area would be ideal for a dependant relative but also has potential to be sectioned off and 4 Ref: LCAA8258 a kitchen fitted to provide a completely separate annexe, subject to all necessary consents first being obtained. In addition, the former very large double garage has been converted into a two storey one bedroomed annexe plus a store room, workshop and wash room accessed separately. Although this arrangement works well for our clients there is potential to improve this accommodation to create a two or maybe even three bedroomed annexe which is surprisingly private from the main house and has the ability to use a driveway access just below it into the field. Further down the field is a static caravan which has its own private drainage system. The grounds are a very important part of Brunnion with plentiful parking to the front and then the gardens and field to the rear of the building giving privacy. Around the house are gardens edged by trees with various outbuildings and a walled heated outdoor swimming pool. The field is open-plan to the garden and throughout the grounds the views are tremendous. LOCATION Brunnion is found in an unspoilt rural area but is only about ½ a mile away from the road linking St Ives to Penzance in one direction and only about 2½ miles away from the A30 expressway close to Lelant and Hayle. A short walk away leads to Trencrom Hill which has panoramic 360˚ views to both the north and south coasts. The quiet surrounding lanes are also very pleasant on foot, horseback or bicycle. With in walking distance is The Engine Inn in Cripplesease and just over a mile away is the Halsetown Inn, well known for its excellent food. The heart of St Ives is only a few miles away with its surfing and more sheltered 5 Ref: LCAA8258 beaches to either side of the picture postcard harbour surrounded by shops, galleries and restaurants. The area is renowned for its artist community and includes the Tate St Ives gallery. Between St Ives, Carbis Bay and Hayle there are excellent facilities including doctors, dentists, professional services, shopping including supermarkets, a leisure centre with swimming pool and schooling. A few miles to the south are Penzance and Marazion around Mounts Bay with St Michael’s Mount creating a focal point. Penzance has a rich seafaring heritage and many period buildings amongst its streets. Penzance is known as the capital of West Cornwall and has the widest range of shopping facilities as well as picturesque parks, museums, the Morrad Library and the seafront promenade walk as well as the Jubilee open air swimming pool. Marazion is a picture postcard small town with active sailing club, many restaurants and a long beach. There are golf courses at Cape Cornwall, Tregenna Castle (St Ives) and the West Cornwall Golf Club at Lelant.
