DESCRIPTION Tremorva, 36 Churchtown Road is found close to the famous church in Gerrans whose tall spire can be seen for miles around. The elevated position allows Tremorva to enjoy views to the sea from the master bedroom and also from the garden which backs onto allotments. This very well located semi-detached house is particularly attractive and is broader to the front than its neighbour having three of the first floor windows. It has a successful extension to the side providing a kitchen and utility room on the ground floor and the master bedroom’s en-suite on the first floor. Inside the property is well cared for and is neutrally decorated with many of the rooms having been recently updated including the kitchen, utility room and the en-suite. On the ground 3 Ref: LCAA7499 floor a porch welcomes you into the property with a lovely period door then opening through to the hall with staircase to the first floor. At the end of the hall is a modern bathroom with a white suite and there is also an additional separate wc under the stairs. What was probably two independent reception rooms now have a broad opening between them making this space feel larger and lighter. The areas are still distinct though with the sitting room having a woodburning stove set into a fireplace and the dining room has a double glazed door out to the rear patio. To the side is the high ceilinged kitchen with utility beyond. The master bedroom takes in the view and there are also two further good sized bedrooms on the first floor. To the front, there is off-road parking for 2 cars beside a patio and to the rear is a further paved patio opening onto the long rear garden which has a view to the sea from its end. To the side of the rear patio is a good sized workshop and there is also an externally accessed boiler/store room. Houses of this quality and style are highly sought after on the Roseland Peninsula and especially in Gerrans, within walking distance of the facilities, harbourfront and beach. 4 Ref: LCAA7499 LOCATION Tremorva is found in the heart of Gerrans which effectively forms one larger village with its neighbour Portscatho. Between them Gerrans and Portscatho have a doctor’s surgery, general stores, a butcher, two pubs, a highly regarded restaurant, a modern primary school, squash courts, a football pitch, a social club and village hall with events throughout the year. Portscatho holds a sailing regatta during the summer from its beautiful stone quayed harbour which protects a small fishing and private boat fleet and there is also a public slipway descending to a sandy beach at low tide. One can easily walk along the South West Coast Path to Porthcurnick beach and the Hidden Hut beach café/restaurant which has been vaunted by the national media including the Sunday Times. Some of the most beautiful walking in Cornwall can be found by following the path to the east to Pendower beach and Nare Head or to the west to St Anthony Head and its lighthouse, before continuing around and overlooking St Mawes harbour and then looping back through woodland whilst overlooking the Percuil River. The whole area is one of Outstanding Natural Beauty. For those interested in sailing there are moorings along the length of the Percuil River either approached from Percuil which is only just over a mile away or from St Mawes which is about 5 miles drive. St Mawes has a particularly active sailing club and holds regular racing throughout the season as well as organising cruises. There are various hotel restaurants overlooking the water at St Mawes and around the coastline as well country pubs in nearby hamlets. One can drive to Truro either through Tregony or by crossing the King Harry Ferry. Truro is Cornwall’s capital and has the largest selection of local and national retailers lining its cobbled Georgian and Victorian streets. A Marks & Spencer flagship store overlooks the recently created Lemon Quay piazza. Supermarkets and out of town trading estates provide all one would expect of the county’s capital. 5 Ref: LCAA7499 THE ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES (all floor plans and dimensions are approximate) From the driveway a double glazed door opens to:- PORCH.
