DESCRIPTION Eremo is a truly outstanding and superbly spacious detached bungalow with beautifully proportioned rooms in the highly sought after semi rural area of Illogan, just a short distance from Tehidy Golf Course and within easy reach of Cornwall’s Atlantic coastline. The setting is quite delightful, being peaceful and yet extremely accessible to the A30, enabling fast access to most parts of the county with Truro, Falmouth, St Ives, Penzance and Newquay, all within a circa 20 minute drive. Portreath Beach is about a 30 minute walk away through Illogan Woods and there are many lovely country walks in the vicinity around the golf course and Tehidy Country Park. There are excellent beaches at Gwithian to the west and Perranporth to the east with the creeks and rivers of the south coast and their associated sailing facilities, also within easy reach. Eremo is an extremely impressive bungalow residence with white painted rendered elevations under hipped and gabled roofs of interlocking concrete tiles with quality 3 Ref: LCAA7557 replacement uPVC, hardwood style, double glazed windows and doors. Well appointed accommodation provides a superb versatility for family living with excellent annexe potential. Our clients have achieved planning permission for the conversion of the loft space into two bedrooms and a second bathroom, (although we believe this planning permission may now have lapsed, it should be fairly straightforward to re-apply and have it reinstated). The studwork required to divide the loft space into two bedrooms and a bathroom, has already been started. Over the years the property’s accommodation has been reappointed to a very good standard of presentation, workmanship and specification. Highlights include neutral decorations, fine tiled floors throughout the reception area, kitchen and utility room, bathroom and cloakroom with generous ceiling heights adding to the feeling of space and quality. The room proportions are superb, the second sitting room/bedroom 2 was originally designed as a snooker room to take a full size table. What was two garages have now been converted to a family room and study with a boiler room off. Both these rooms have double glazed sliding patio doors and windows to the front driveway and could be reverted to garaging if required. The loft space is immense with an 11’6” height (maximum). LOCATION Eremo occupies glorious level gardens extending to approximately ⅓ of an acre with a road frontage of almost 200’ to a country lane, comprising attractive Cornish stone walling topped by hedging. The boundaries surrounding the property all feature mature hedging and trees providing an excellent screening and a good level of privacy. Along the back of the property, facing in a southerly direction, a new cut stone sun terrace has been laid with the remainder of the gardens comprising well tended lawns. The imposing heavy iron gated entrance opens onto a generous brick paved driveway providing parking and turning for several vehicles with gravelled hardstanding to the right and a carport adjacent to the house. The gardens extend around three sides of Eremo with a large timber summerhouse in one corner and a sizable timber garden shed in the rear garden. The gardens are well planted with a variety of flowering shrubs and privacy is further enhanced by the property abutting open fields.
