DESCRIPTION

Penrill is to be sold for the first time ever since construction as it is owned by members of the same family who it is believed built the property in the mid 1960’s. The property was built in an incredible location, set down and away from the village road and positioned to make the most of its staggering outlook. The serene views overlook woodland surrounding St Just Church which creates a foreground to the tidal St Just Pool, bar and creek with its moored yachts. Beyond this the waters open out onto the Carrick Roads where yachts and racing boats can be seen throughout the year. The National Trust owned Messack Point protrudes into the view and in the distance is Mylor Yacht Harbour, Trefusis Point and extensive countryside. This is simply one of the prettiest outlooks one will find around the coastline of Cornwall.

3 Ref: LCAA7974 The detached dormer bungalow has been much improved internally in recent years to now provide four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Off the reception hall is an open-plan kitchen/dining/living room – 28’3” x 17’ reducing to 13’ – with a contemporary kitchen including island and integrated appliances to one end. The other is all about the views with extensive glazing including bi-fold doors opening to the frameless glass fronted deck and patio doors to the side opening onto a terrace where there is currently a hot tub. Also, on the ground floor are two good sized bedrooms, a stunning bath/shower room, a further large stair hall/study and a utility with wc off. One of the two bedrooms on the first floor also has its own en-suite shower room.

As previously mentioned, the property is set well away from the village road with the driveway providing plentiful parking as well as access to a high quality near new neighbouring house. Privacy is assured as one walks down a flight of steps to the front courtyard and there are further slate paved terraces and a deck around the house. Below 4 Ref: LCAA7974 this are heavily stocked plantsman’s gardens that are easy to maintain but could also be significantly opened out if more lawn space were required, as the whole plot extends to about 0.25 of an acre. Although this has always been a main home for its occupants, Penrill would also suit ideally as a second home in this extremely highly regarded location.

The Roseland is a beautiful and unspoilt peninsula bordering the eastern side of the Carrick Roads estuary and to the north by the at . On the east and southern sides are the open seas of the English Channel with towering cliffs and long sandy beaches.

The Roseland is renowned for its beauty and nowhere is more luxuriant than at St Just-in- Roseland, where its delightful 13th/15th Century church stands at the water’s edge at the head of a wooded tidal creek with the hillside churchyard and subtropical trees and shrubs providing a blaze of colour in early summer and have been voted the most picturesque in the United Kingdom. The South West Coast Path passes through these grounds before continuing along the coastline to . On the other side of the tidal pool, just below the church, is a highly regarded boatyard and beach at the mouth of St Just Creek with deep water moorings and onshore facilities.

About a mile away is the renowned yachting haven of St Mawes with its picturesque harbour, castle, quayside, shops, inns and hotels with restaurants.
