Outside: gravelled driveway and multi car parking, integral garage and extensive workshop. Gardens and grounds extending to about 5 acres with meadow, woodland and extensive rural and sea views. DESCRIPTION Boscreege is a very interesting and rather unusual opportunity created, developed and lovingly improved over a number of years by the current owners who bought the home as a redundant gun club. The site, which extends to about 5 acres, has been massively changed and improved in the current ownership and this includes the planting of over 1,000 trees! The accommodation itself is arranged over two levels with a lower ground floor comprising hallway, cloakroom/wc, spacious laundry/utility room and integral garage and a very large workshop extending to about 16m x 4.8m. The living accommodation is at upper ground floor level to take in the lovely outlook and views over the countryside, gardens and out towards Mounts Bay and the coastline and sea. There is a spacious central hallway with a 3 Ref: LCAA7352 large L-shaped living room which encompasses a lounge and opens to a kitchen/dining room. This area has sun decking around both sides and takes in a super outlook. There are four bedrooms, the master has an en-suite shower room and a balcony off it, two further bedrooms have a Jack and Jill en-suite shower room between them and there is a further double bedroom and further family bath/shower room. This very spacious accommodation is particularly light and airy due to its elevated position and good sized windows and patio doors throughout. Boscreege is located at the end of a no-through lane and from this there is a gravelled driveway, leading into the garaging and workshop areas at lower ground floor level. Adjoining the driveway is a very productive vegetable plot which is enclosed. The gardens are an absolute delight and testament to the significant effort and energy of the current owners in creating and maintaining the area. There is a very significant area of lawn with a central pond bounded by banking to one side in which the owner has planted hundreds of trees. 4 Ref: LCAA7352 5 Ref: LCAA7352 The banking borders farmland to two sides and walkways and seating areas have been created to enjoy not only the very far reaching countryside views but more significantly the exceptional outlook over the countryside to the south with iconic St Michael’s Mount, coastline and sea views beyond. LOCATION The hamlet of Cucurrian comprises about ½ a dozen homes at the end of a no-through road in an elevated position with a southerly aspect towards Penzance Bay and St Michael’s Mount. The nearest village is Ludgvan which is within a couple of miles and has a range of day to day facilities including village shop, public house and is also access to the main A30 trunk 6 Ref: LCAA7352 road. Penzance, some 5 miles away, is considered the capital of West Cornwall and is at the end of the Penzance to Paddington main railway line with direct trains to London. The town has a rich seafaring heritage and its centre abounds with period buildings which now house a wide array of high street names and more specialised retailers. The area is also famous for its arts and there are many galleries in Penzance and neighbouring Newlyn which also has a large and colourful fishing fleet. Within Penzance there are hotels, restaurants, cafés, museums, education for all ages and a hospital. West Cornwall is known for its rugged beauty and is surrounded by the South West Coast Path which leads over dramatic cliff tops to sheltered coves and larger sandy beaches. Just to the east of Penzance is the village of Marazion and St Michael’s Mount which can be accessed by foot across a causeway at low tide. There are many other sandy beaches including Praa Sands to the east, whilst to the far west is Sennen Cove and Whitesand Bay near Land’s End, a 2 mile long stretch of beautiful white sands beside a picturesque harbourside village that is renowned for surfing. To the south is Mousehole which attracts people from all over Europe to see its harbourside lights at Christmas and about 20 miles drive to the north is the resort and surfing town of St Ives which is considered to have the best light for painting in Britain as it reflects off the waters of the 4 mile wide St Ives Bay.
