3 3 The house is immaculately kept and very well presented with a statuesque approach under the large columned porch into the high ceilinged ground floor accommodation with large halls and turning staircase. Across the rear of the building are three large reception rooms and a conservatory which all open onto the partly veranda covered rear terrace. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with modern units under granite worktops with limestone tiling behind and a four oven mains gas Aga all to one end of the room with the other end having plentiful space for a dining table. Much of the working parts of the kitchens are cleverly positioned in the adjacent extensive utility room which has a boiler room and rear wc off to complement the more formal cloakroom and wc off the entrance hall. On the first floor there are five double bedrooms, all with en-suite bath or shower rooms and four of these bedrooms take in the excellent views over the grounds, surrounding tree lined gardens to the estuary beyond. The bedroom to the front however has the added bonus of its own private staircase down to the kitchen and either a dressing room or private study whilst there is an additional single bedroom or study off the landing which has previously been fitted as a bathroom. Although currently a house and ideal for a family, Hindon Hall has also been a very successful high end guest house and it would suit either use perfectly.

4 4 LOCATION Hindon Hall is above the lane that leads along beside Lelant Saltings estuary which is popular for walking and cycling due to its flat nature and scenic outlook. The estuary narrows and spills out into St Ives Bay which is lined by beautiful, long sandy beaches. Porth Kidney Sands is the nearest beach to the property and can certainly be described as a local s beach as it has no direct road access and needs knowledge of the footpath across the golf course to reach its idyllic, sand dune backed position. The waters in front of Porth Kidney Sands are ideal for kitesurfing, windsurfing and surfing and a footpath continues beyond the beach around to Carbis Bay and St Ives. Behind Porth Kidney Sands beach is the West Cornwall Golf Club, a highly regarded Links course with wonderful sea views.

5 5 In the village are two inns and within walking distance is Scarlet Wines shop and restaurant with excellent food served throughout the day and a good selection of specialist alcoholic beverages and delicatessen.

The A30 expressway runs around the outside of Hayle on the opposite side of Lelant Saltings estuary giving excellent road access throughout the county and to the motorway network at Exeter.
