Ref: LCAA1820 Ref: LCAA6616 Offers over £1,500,000 Treganoon, Tregye Road, Carnon Downs, Nr. Truro, South Cornwall FREEHOLD An extremely attractive and imposing detached country house of distinctive architecture, built circa 1920’s, offering extensive accommodation plus a detached large adjacent ‘cottage’, oak framed garaging and stables. Set centrally within about 17 acres of south facing plantsman’s gardens, light woodland, paddocks and 10 acre organic field, reached over an impressive long tree lined gated driveway. In one of the most sought after areas of south Cornwall, just a few minutes’ drive from the centre of Truro and very close to the creeks and sailing waters of the Fal Estuary. 2 Ref: LCAA6616 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: Arched porch, reception halls, grand galleried stair hall, cloaks/wc, drawing room, sitting room, conservatory, study, loggia, dining room, extensively fitted kitchen/breakfast room with Aga, playroom, utility room. First Floor: imposing galleried landing, principal bedroom suite comprising very large bedroom, dressing room and very large bathroom, 3 further double bedrooms – two with en- suite shower rooms, family bathroom. Detached ‘Cottage’: offering excellent ancillary accommodation of hall, lounge, kitchenette, 2 bedrooms, en-suite shower room, bathroom. Outside: Oak and tile garage block/workshop. Orchard, store shed, greenhouse. Bluebell woodland. Superb very sheltered level south facing gardens containing a prolific array of ornamental and flowering shrubs and plants, 2 paddocks with stable block, large organic field. In all, about 17 acres. DESCRIPTION There are very few interesting country houses between Truro and Falmouth and even less that can boast complete privacy and seclusion in the middle of their own land. Treganoon is one of only a handful of houses that fit the criteria and surely offers all that the discerning buyer could desire. At the heart of 17 acres of gardens and grounds is the near 4,500sq.ft. house, approached over a long tree lined driveway which also gives access to the detached 3 Ref: LCAA6616 two bedroom cottage and an oak framed garaging barn. Surrounding the house are sensational plantsman’s gardens fringed with light woodland and on the other side of the drive are two level paddocks, stables and an orchard. Wrapping around the gardens is a significantly larger organic field of about 10 acres with its own road access, providing a superb amenity space as well as giving the property complete protection and command over its immediate surroundings. The house is believed to date from the 1920’s and has evidently been extended several times to now provide the extent and style of accommodation many homes lack. At the heart of the property is a dramatic stair hall below a proper galleried landing which wraps around a double height void. Reception rooms include a large drawing room, more cosseting sitting room with conservatory off, an impressively proportioned study opening to the garden under a loggia, a formal dining room and a good sized play or hobbies room. The kitchen is traditionally fitted with limed oak units under granite worktops and has an Aga as well as additional modern cooking appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is a breakfast room and 4 Ref: LCAA6616 these rooms are effectively open-plan to each other and enjoy a dual aspect outlook through large windows. An inner hall has stores off and there is also a utility and cloaks/wc as well as an arched front porch. The bedroom accommodation is no less dramatic especially the master which has vast proportions including many fitted units, an open-plan dressing room and a very large en-suite bath/shower room. Two of the other double bedrooms also have en-suite shower rooms whilst the fourth double bedroom is beside the main family bathroom. This is of course extended by the use of the detached cottage which has ground and first floor living rooms, a kitchen, reception hall and double bedrooms on both the ground and first floors each with their own bath or shower room. This is a country house without compromise in one of Cornwall’s most desirable areas. LOCATION Treganoon is found in the unspoilt area of Tregye between Carnon Downs and Feock and is within walking distance of the various village facilities in Carnon Downs including a good sized village shop, dentist and doctors. Just a short drive away are the lovely old inns of the Punch Bowl and Ladle at Penelewey and the Old Quay Inn just above the creek at Devoran. The surrounding countryside has numerous footpaths and bridleways including some that run along the edge of the surrounding creeks to Roundwood, Cowlands and the National Trust owned Trelissick House Estate where there is a south facing beach looking down the Carrick Roads. This exclusive area is edged by water with excellent boating facilities nearby at Loe Beach where there is a sailing school and hire centre with cafe that is a hub during the summer. The beautiful Restronguet Creek opens onto the Carrick Roads (Fal Estuary) which provides some of the most picturesque and sheltered sailing waters anywhere in the United Kingdom. 5 Ref: LCAA6616 Larger yachts can be kept either at moorings or on the pontoon berths at Mylor Yacht Harbour or at Falmouth, both of which are around 15 minutes’ drive away. One of the main draws to this area is that Cornwall’s capital city, Truro, is only about 5 minutes’ drive away with the fullest range of shopping, cafés, bars, restaurants, entertainments, sports facilities and schooling in Cornwall along with the main hospital, a multi-screen cinema, theatre, flagship Marks & Spencer store, a Waitrose store and a station on the main Penzance to Paddington line. Falmouth is Cornwall’s largest port but also has wonderful shopping, cafés, bars and restaurants many of which overlook the harbour or the beaches along Falmouth Bay. A short trip on the King Harry Car Ferry opens up the Roseland Peninsula which is one of the least populated areas of Cornwall and here there are also blissful walks, many beaches and the upmarket harbourside sailing village of St Mawes. THE ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES (all floor plans and dimensions are approximate) From the driveway an arch opens into a decoratively tiled porch with a studded wood door opening to:- STAIRCASE AND RECEPTION HALLS – 35’6” x 20’6” max.

We do have a speaker who was booked to speak at nine o’clock. However, yesterday he cancelled that slot, so perhaps I can check whether or not that speaker is here: Mr Michael Chappell? (No response). On that basis our next speaker is booked at 9.30, so I will adjourn the hearing until 9.30. After a short break Time Noted: 9.30 am THE LEAD ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome back to day two of the public hearing into the initial proposals of the Boundary Commission for the new parliamentary constituencies in the South West region. My name is Anita Bickerdike and I am an Assistant Commissioner with the Boundary Commission and my role is to come and listen to what people locally want to come and tell me and then, with my fellow Commissioner, to actually look at those oral representations, together with any written representations that are received during the consultation period. Once all those consultations have been concluded, then my job with my Assistant Commissioner, as I have indicated, is to send a report to the Commissioners to see whether or not the initial proposals need to be amended.

Ofwat will review the business plan and set revenue controls – limiting the amount our customers can be charged for that period. This process is carried out every five years and is known as the ‘price review’. In preparation we have been carrying out research and engagement with our customers and stakeholders across the South West and Bournemouth areas to gauge how their long-term priorities may have changed since the last price review in 2014. The results of that process are reflected in this document.

  • Employing Cornish Cultures for Community Resilience
    Employing Cornish Cultures for Community Resilience. Submitted by Neil Patrick Martyn Kennedy to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cornish Studies. Submitted in February 2013. This thesis is available for the library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other university. Signature: …………………………………….. 1 Abstract. Employing Cornish Cultures for Community Resilience. Can cultural distinctiveness be used to strengthen community bonds, boost morale and equip and motivate people socially and economically? Using the witness of people in Cornwall and comparative experiences, this discussion combines a review of how cultures are commodified and portrayed with reflections on well-being and ‘emotional prosperity’.1 Cornwall is a relatively poor European region with a cultural identity that inspires an established ethno-cultural movement and is the symbolic basis of community awareness and aspiration, as well as the subject of contested identities and representations. At the heart of this is an array of cultures that is identified as Cornish, including a distinct post-industrial inheritance, the Cornish Language and Celtic Revivalism. Cultural difference has long been a resource for cultural industries and tourism and discussion of using culture for regeneration has accordingly concentrated almost exclusively on these sectors but an emergent ‘regional distinctiveness agenda’ is beginning to present Cornish cultures as an asset for use in branding and marketing other sectors.
