TRURO, SOUTH CORNWALL In an incredibly tranquil, private creek fronting location with extensive ownership of the foreshore; an extremely pretty, historically significant Grade II Listed 4 bedroomed farmhouse and range of traditional barns picturesquely surrounded by about 14 acres of woodland and fields.

First Floor: landing, master bedroom en-suite, 3 further bedrooms, bathroom.

Planning permission in perpetuity for conversion to accommodation. Outside: long wildflower lined driveway, extensive gardens surrounding the house and running down to the foreshore. Woodland, 6 fields with traditional hedged boundaries. In all, about 14 acres. About 1,500ft. of creek frontage and ownership of the foreshore extending to about an additional 6 acres. Viewing strictly by appointment through the vendor’s Sole Agent: Lillicrap Chilcott . Landrian House . 59-60 Lemon Street . Truro . TR1 2PE Tel: 01872 273473 Fax: 01872 273474 Email: [email protected] www.waterfrontandcountryhomes.com DESCRIPTION Roundwood Farm is an idyllic dream property enjoying peace, tranquillity and privacy in an unspoilt and historic waterfronting location. The property and its traditional range of outbuildings are Grade II Listed due to their beautiful unmolested appearance. The Listing also refers to excerpts from the West Briton newspaper including one from 31st July 1818 reading “At invitation of R A Daniell a numerous party of ladies and gents of Truro to dine at the beautiful cottage lately erected by him at Roundwood…..”. The Listing also quotes that Thomas Daniell, who remodelled Trelissick House circa 1825, lost Trelissick to Lord Falmouth by gambling and then came to live at Roundwood. And it is recorded that the Trelissick Estate came into the hands of Lord Falmouth in 1832 with Daniell emigrating in the same year. The exact location of the house and barns would be unrepeatable under today’s planning regulations as it stands proudly on a lawned plateau facing out across the creek flanked by its own woodland to one side and a delightful parcel of fields then surrounds the house to the other, totalling about 14 acres. Importantly Roundwood Farm also owns about 1,500ft of frontage to the creek and has extensive foreshore ownership of about 6 acres which is a very rare asset indeed providing control over the surroundings. A long driveway sweeps in past one of the fields and the edge of the woodland before arriving at the side of the house where there is a garage tucked into the trees. Gardens to both sides enjoy the sun throughout the day and extend to the creek edge. Between the wings of the house on the south west side is a most picturesque courtyard garden with cobbled floor, central pond and above this are two more open patios at the same level as the recently added garden lounge. The driveway continues around the edge of the woodland down to the creekside barns which appear to have originally been coach houses, stabling, storage and workshops. The barns are partially renovated with slate roofs and stone elevations with one of the barns being over two storeys and having three brick arched entrances to the lower floor. A gate beside the barns opens onto a small stone quay. A deep belt of woodland extends to the south east of the house and the barns providing shelter and privacy and there is also a former quarry in the woodland. To the south west and north of the house are the fields which are divided into six enclosures with traditional hedges and three of them extend down to the water’s edge. The fields like the gardens would benefit from some work to bring them back to their best but all of the important planting was done many years ago so wonderful large oak trees edge the fields whilst mature specimen plants and trees line the gardens. There are very few properties around Cornwall, or indeed the United Kingdom, that can provide such a magical mix of location, privacy, waterfrontage, land and historic house and outbuildings and what is all the more remarkable is that it is only about 4½ miles from the centre of Truro. LOCATION Roundwood Quay, which is situated just beyond Roundwood Farm, is creeks, inlets, beaches and waterside villages to explore. There are deep Although there are many creeks and rivers around the Cornish coastline, little known even to locals of the area as it is un-signposted from the lane water moorings available in the River Fal and nearby at Loe Beach with very few have such good deep water access or are as close to civilisation that leads to Cowlands from Penelewey.
