Ref: LCAA6840 2 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION Ground Floor: lobby, 20’ x 14’ sitting/dining room, refitted vaulted ceilinged kitchen/breakfast room. First Floor: landing, 2 bedrooms, bath/shower room. Detached Studio Cottage: bed sitting room, shower room. Integral store. Outside: long communal driveway, private parking for numerous cars, south facing level lawned garden with terraces bounded by trees and a stone wall. Front and rear paved courtyards, timber shed, old piggery/store. DESCRIPTION South Granary is one of a few delightful, Grade II Listed properties converted in about 2004 at the historic farm of Tregenhorne. Tregenhorne was once part of the Lanhydrock Estate with its main house near Bodmin now run by the National Trust, and will most likely have been the manor farm for the area. South Granary is one half of the old granary building and retains its stone structure under a slate roof with granite and brick lintels over the windows and doorways. The property is the southernmost in the development and has its garden on the southern side enjoying a good deal of privacy as well as far reaching countryside views. Around the driveways and grounds are wonderful grass topped granite bouldered walls often lined with trees and these also line part of the private garden for South Granary. To its front Ref: LCAA6840 3 is a generous courtyard and there is another on the western side at the rear. A slightly sunken terrace is found on the southern wall of the house and to one side of the level lawn is a gravelled patio with specimen shrubs and grasses as well as a sitting out area. In addition to the main two bedroomed barn conversion this property also comes with a detached studio cottage which was also converted from a stone barn under a slate roof and still retains its barn doors at one end which now open into a store area. This small barn conceals a beautiful interior with vaulted ceiling, a separate shower room and is lit by a roof window as well as a window overlooking the adjacent countryside. This is an ideal space for guest accommodation, working from home or as a holiday let as we believe there are no restrictions on this and it even has full residential consent. Ref: LCAA6840 4 South Granary itself is also very smartly presented inside with a central lobby having doors to the kitchen/breakfast room and a superb 20’ x 14’ living/dining room centred around a fireplace with a multi fuel stove. Further attractive features include deep window sills to the painted double glazed wood windows, solid wood doors, spotlights and ceiling beams. The kitchen is quite different in character as it is under a high monopitch ceiling enjoying a dual aspect outlook and has been recently refitted with a range of light wood fronted units under composite stone worktops which match well with the light stone effect tiled floor. On the first floor are two bedrooms and a bath/shower room, with all of the first floor rooms being under canopied ceilings. This is an ideal home for a couple with detached guest accommodation but could also prove attractive as a purely investment purchase as such character properties in this area would holiday let extremely well. Ref: LCAA6840 5 LOCATION Tregenhorne is found in the midst of gorgeous soft, sheltered countryside with many footpaths nearby, including one leading away from Tregenhorne, helping to make the most of the local environment. The positioning of the property is relatively central in the thinnest part of Cornwall, although it is slightly closer to the north coast than the south. On the south the beaches of Praa Sands, Kenneggy Sands, Perran Sands and Marazion are linked by rugged headlands. The north coast is completely different with a 4 mile wide bay backed by sand dunes and offering perfect surfing, kite surfing and windsurfing conditions. There are walks along the nearby River Hayle and about 2 miles away is The National Trust owned Godolphin House estate which has walks through woodland and there is high ground nearby to explore with fantastic views available from the tops of Godolphin and Tregonning Hills. The nearby towns of Hayle, Helston and Penzance offer an extensive range of day to day needs including many national chain shops mixed with local retailers. The road network is excellent with the A30 being mostly dual carriageway throughout Cornwall and linking to the motorway network at Exeter. St Erth has a railway station on the main Penzance to Paddington line with direct trains straight to London. Truro, Cornwall’s capital is about half an hour’s drive away and all of these points combine to create a fantastic rural home.
