3 Pothbeor Beach within walking distance DESCRIPTION Roseland Place is an excellent detached seven bedroomed, three reception roomed house believed to have been built in the 1930 s with stylish elevations under a slate hipped roof over wings that protrude to either side of a half slate hung recessed front elevation. To the side is an impressive entrance with beautiful mellow coloured stone paving then sweeping around the house forming large sitting out terraces to the south and west. The views from the house and these terraces are down over very deep planted beds and sweeping lawns to countryside which frames a view out across the sea. This beautiful and extremely peaceful setting can be enjoyed throughout the 1 acre of gardens with a long gated driveway, detached garage block and to the rear is a large and recently created brick walled garden creating a warm and sheltered spot to entertain and grow home produce. The architecture of the interior is most appealing and the house provides delightful well planned accommodation focusing on the principal reception rooms including a snug sitting room, larger lounge opening to the terrace and sizeable dining room all of which have huge windows to enjoy the outlook. A large central hall and turning staircase give access to a farmhouse style breakfast kitchen with large island and Aga and there are also numerous ancillary rooms, all with good proportions and under high ceilings. On the first floor there is an excellent range of bedrooms ideal for a large family and numerous guests with the master bedroom having its own en-suite and there are also two further family bathrooms, all presented in a tasteful and neutral style. The opportunity to acquire such a dignified and spacious coastal house especially in such a little populated and undisturbed part of Cornwall is highly infrequent. The availability of Roseland Place on the open market therefore represents an incredible chance but also may give the possibility of a new way of life in this outstanding setting between the sea and the Percuil River. LOCATION Roseland Place is situated to the south of the Percuil River and St Mawes with the harbour waters within walking distance and during the summer months a passenger ferry leaves from only a few hundred yards away from the house before arriving on the quay in St Mawes itself. Other people that live in the area keep their own boats to allow them to make this journey at their convenience and also as tenders to larger yachts which can be moored in the river and sailed on some of the United Kingdom s most beautiful and sheltered sailing waters around the Carrick Roads and across Falmouth Bay. A lot of the surrounding countryside and coastline is owned by the National Trust and one of south Cornwall s most beautiful circular walks effectively loops around Roseland Place taking in the wooded shoreline above the Percuil River itself before opening out onto the cliff tops above St Anthony Lighthouse and from these elevated positions there are the most staggering views. The footpaths also give access to nearby sandy beaches with rock pools at their edges making them ideal for families. St Mawes needs little introduction as one of Cornwall s most exciting waterside villages with an excellent selection of restaurants in the upmarket hotels, local pubs and a thriving year around community with numerous societies, a social club, gig club and one of the best sailing clubs in Cornwall which hosts everything from off shore racing to its stand out junior sailing programme. Just a short drive away are the villages of Portscatho and Gerrans which effectively meld into one and here there are further inns, local shops and a primary school all enjoying a picturesque harbourside setting. Truro is under half an hour s drive away either via the bridge at Tregony or over the King Harry car ferry and has all that one would expect of Cornwall s capital city including private schooling, a theatre, multi screen cinema, flagship national retailers and a full range of professional services as well as local boutique shops, restaurants and cafés. This is one of only a limited number of houses in this very special location and in our experience, when one is offered for sale there is a tremendous amount of interest. Our client s decision to offer Roseland Place publically constitutes a rare opportunity to acquire a fine coastal house in one of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas in south Cornwall enjoying peace and tranquillity.

The driveway starts at the head of the lane that leads down to Place Manor where there is a quay and the public passenger ferry to St Mawes. An initial splay with walled frontage leads to an impressive pair of granite gate piers with timber gates opening onto the long sweeping tarmac drive from the start of which the house cannot be seen due to the high hedges surrounding the front lawn. A broad swathe of lawn runs along the left hand side of the drive making for a very attractive approach with the hedgerow dotted with small trees and a flagpole stands at the head of the drive beside the garage. The drive expands to give very generous parking and turning space as well as room to store boats to either side of the garage and the drive then runs into a large stone paved courtyard leading to the back door into the utility room and also giving access around to the rear of the house. The stone paving then also leads across the side of the house passing the impressive cut stone entrance and runs around to form a very large sun terrace enjoying a southerly aspect bounded by low stone walls with incredible deep well stocked beds separating it from the lawn below and giving a wonderful foreground to the views over countryside and the sea. A very wide flight of steps descend to the large lawn below the house edged with hedging and trees and there are still excellent views from the lawn making it ideal for garden parties. The lawn then sweeps up and around the side of the house, as does the paving which forms a broad pathway leading to the porch and door into the rear hall. Behind the house is a very large brick walled garden creating a sheltered and warm environment ideal for growing vines, vegetables and fruits as well as for relaxing and entertaining and here there is a large 8 person hot tub positioned to enjoy the evening s sun. In all, just over 1 acre. GENERAL INFORMATION VIEWING Strictly by prior appointment through: Lillicrap Chilcott, Landrian House, Lemon Street, Truro, Cornwall, TR1 2PE.
