Description

Nestled between the rolling countryside of Ventongimps and the scenic north Cornish coast, this Grade II Listed Georgian home offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. With five bedrooms, the property maintains much of its original charm while inviting potential improvements that could enhance both its functionality and value. The house features an array of period details, including multi-paned wooden sash windows, exposed floorboards, and exquisite fireplaces that speak to its history. A careful restoration in 1895 has preserved numerous Victorian elements, enriching the home’s character. The ground floor comprises an entrance porch with tessellated tile flooring and a spacious hallway finished with slate. The dual-aspect sitting room is particularly noteworthy, boasting window seats and a grand granite fireplace that includes a wood-burning stove. The dining room features an ornate fireplace as well, while the kitchen comes equipped with a dual fuel Rangemaster cooker. Upstairs, you will find four to five well-proportioned bedrooms (three doubles) along with two bathrooms. In addition to the main residence, there is a single-storey stone barn adjacent to the house, which presents promising conversion opportunities into an annexe or studio space—subject to planning consent. Further outbuildings include a red-brick former cart house and multiple small sheds suitable for garden storage or other creative uses. Set within approximately one acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, the property features a rear paved patio ideal for outdoor gatherings alongside a pond with a waterfall feature. The expansive gardens provide ample space for gardening enthusiasts or families looking to create their own private oasis. There may also be options available for acquiring additional land through purchase or rental. Conveniently located just six miles from Truro—a city rich in amenities including shops and rail connections to London—this home offers both tranquility and accessibility. It's also only a short drive from Treliske Hospital and the stunning beaches of North Cornwall. This estate is presented without any onward chain, allowing for swift possession; however, prospective buyers should be aware that a private borehole water supply must be installed within 12 months post-completion due to existing arrangements regarding water sourcing. This property serves not only as a residence but also as an investment opportunity ripe for enhancement in both living quality and financial return.
